Sportsmanship

Our main focus is to provide a fun and relaxed environment for all players. Any behavior deemed unacceptable by our staff may result in forfeiture, player ejection from a game, league or facility.

League Registration Basics

All captains are responsible for knowing the rules and making sure the team understands the rules. To guarantee league placement, payment and registration forms are due by the deadlines for each session.

All players are required to fill out the roster waiver form which will be provided first night of play. 2nd night choice on registration will be used if 1st option is full. Leagues are based on demand and some leagues may not fill up so please be patient as leagues are getting established.  Teams may be combined into "Any" leagues while leagues are being established. (i.e. various skills playing coed together). We'll do our best to accommodate your team. *4 team minimum to start a league. 

How much does it cost to play?

League fees vary based on length of league | Late registration fee of $50 may apply.

Annual Membership - $25 for all new players. Returning players $25 if enrolled in auto pay (we keep your card on file with encrypted security and this card can also be used for weekly purchases at the tiki bar).  Annual Membership is a seasonal sports membership and expires December 31st each year. Membership renewal for recurring billing occurs around January 20th each year.  If not enrolled in auto pay payment can be made online each January for $35 if paid by 1/31 | $50 after 1/31.

Must have a valid drivers license to verify age. If under the age of 18 a parent/guardian will have to sign a waiver form in order to play and become a club player. 

How critical are skill levels?

Skill levels are very critical. Should a team join a league that is too weak or too strong, Mako Beach staff may request that your team be moved to a league that better suits level of play. New leagues may form based on demand and skill level.

Do you accept checks or cash?
