The National Sports Center does not close for inclement winter weather. It is up to teams if they choose to play or forfeit during inclement winter weather. The indoor league is not responsible for games being forfeited due to weather; therefore, it does not guarantee make-up games at a later date.

The National Sports Center Indoor league is geared towards teams. We do not create teams of individual players. If a team needs an extra player they can add players from the player pool by contacting them directly through our player pool.

If you are an individual who is looking for a team you may join the player pool. Start by creating an account through the NSC Event HQ. Teams in need of players will contact you directly. Placement is not guaranteed.
