It's pronounced Zo-so, like the Led Zeppelin album. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to spell out the letters: "X,o,s,o Sports" but if that's what it takes to spread the word, it's fine by us!

It also has nothing to do with Led Zeppelin, although they were a fantastic band.

Injured players may be replaced at no charge prior to the 3rd game of the season under the following regulations:

1. The captain must notify the league immediately.
2. The replacement player must submit registration info by email and sign a waiver before being eligible to play.
3. The replacement player is a PERMANENT replacement. The injured player may not return until the following season.
4. Any payment issues and money exchange must be determined between the injured player and the replacement player.
5. The injured player must give their XOSO team shirt to the replacement player to wear during games. If the shirt doesn't fit, the replacement player may purchase a new shirt (if available) for $12.

In the case where XOSO, LLC is forced to cancel a season due to a lack of participants or other unforeseen circumstances we will:

• Issue a refund OR
• Offer a credit toward a future season or different sport.

In the event that we can not place you or your small group on a team due to heavy demand we will:

• Issue a refund OR
• Offer a credit toward a future season or different sport.

In all other cases there will be no refunds.

A season is generally between 8-10 weeks long, roughly 8 games and one or two "bye" weeks. The exact number varies based on the number of teams in the league; we can never know for sure until registration has ended.

The final week may or may not include a mini-tournament or playoff to determine the champion.

Of course! We realize that things come up and sports aren't always at the top of your priority list. We account for occasional absences in our roster size so that there's nothing to worry about for your team. Make sure to email your team or team captain and let them know you won't be at your game!

Many city leagues offer an opportunity to have "subs" on your roster. With Xoso, all players must be fully registered and paid players because we don't want to run into an issue with "ringers" in the future, not to mention insurance liability. We are fully aware that things come up and not everyone can play each week. The size of our team rosters take this fact into account and our rules for each sport also enable a team to play shorthanded (to a point) without needing to forfeit.

Depending on the sport, early registrants may receive a discounted rate.

We highly recommend signing up as early as possible to increase your chances of getting in the league on the night you want.

Registrants are placed on teams on a first come, first served (i.e. First paid, First placed) basis with priority given to players based on their length of time with XOSO.

In general, registration ends a week or two prior to the league start date. This allows us time to finish placement and scheduling issues and gives our shirt company enough time to have your team shirts ready at the start of the season.

Well, first off, to SAVE MONEY!!!

Individuals and teams both save money by registering before the Early Bird registration deadline has passed. In the era of $16 gallons of gasoline, who doesn't want to save a few extra dollars?

Secondly, our teams are filled on a first come, first served basis. To make sure you're on a team, or that you're on a team with your friends, it's better to register ASAP. If a team is mostly full, and you sign up with 4 of your friends, we may only be able to fit 2 of you on it! That would suck wouldn't it?

Thirdly, Xoso always tries to accommodate t-shirt size requests, but we have to order our shirts weeks before the season starts. If you register early, it helps us plan and make sure you get the t-shirt size you want!

So you see, there are plenty of reasons to register early. The real question is, why should you wait?!

Unfortunately, the way the league is set up, we're rarely able to accommodate registrations after the final deadline. As soon as registration ends, we scramble to finish placing people on rosters, order all the team shirts, spend days creating the season schedule, and then email all the rosters out to everyone playing in the league.

There are times when we can add a player or two to fill out some free agent teams that may happen to be on the smaller side. Free agent players signing up late will be placed as needed (if space is available) and even when we can get you in, it's rare we can get friends on the same team. It just depends on whether the teams are completely full or not.

Trying to add a team after shirts have been ordered and the schedule is finished is impossible because everything would have to start all over and the entire league's shirts won't arrive in time.

Your best bet is to email immediately. If you email before everything above happens, there's a better chance we can get you in even if the deadline has passed!

Well, it depends on the sport or activity.

Some sports cost more than others due to field reservations, permits, insurance costs, taxes, equipment (if necessary), and an extra costs.

XOSO, LLC currently charges $55-65 per person for our Coed Dodgeball and Coed Kickball leagues. Team fees vary between $650-700 for up to 13 players, and $40 per player beyond 13.

Generally sport and social leagues around the country charge $70-100 per person per season for a sport like Kickball or Dodgeball. Registering a team offers an opportunity to have more people on a team for a lower price. For example, if a league charges $75 per person, it may charge $700 for a team that can hold up to 13 players. That's a potential savings of $275 to distribute amongst the players.

Remember, with your league fee you get all the benefits of being a XOSO member. A free XOSO T-Shirt, discounts at local bars, and much, much more!

We really want to encourage people to keep playing with XOSO, and to spread the word. We've come up with a few ways for you to save some money on your registration fees:

• Register as a full team. The more people you cram on the team the cheaper it is per person.
• If you referee 8 games in one season, you can get a free credit for the following season with XOSO. You MUST email the league at referees@xososports.com after EACH game to receive this credit.

To take advantage of a discounted rate, payment must be made in cash, check, or money order.

*All promotions & discounts subject to change in the future.

Of course! XOSO provides one free t-shirt to each paid participant of a XOSO sport. The complimentary t-shirt is color specific for your team and is used as your game uniform.

You can purchase additional t-shirts in the color of your choice for however you see fit. They make great workout shirts!

Short-sleeve t-shirts: $12
Long-sleeve or tank top: $15
Sweatshirts: $25
Shirts with your team name on the back: generally $20*

* depends on style, and how many team members are purchasing

Email shirts@xososports.com to order!

We will do everything in our power to assign all registrants to a team before the start of each season. However, sometimes it isn't possible to accommodate everyone. Many more males sign up, so women have a higher likelihood of being placed on a team. Men signing up with female friends will also have a greater chance of getting on a team.

If we are unable to place you or your small group onto a team, we will issue you a credit for a future season and place you at the top of the list for that season or issue you a full refund.

It's free to create an online profile on the website. With online membership you will get access to most of our happy hour events, bar specials, etc.

For access to our premium discounts you must be a paid XOSO player.

In order to join a sports league, a fitness class, or dance lessons, you will pay only the fees that accompany that particular sport. Some sports cost more than others. These fees cover field and facility rentals, insurance costs, t-shirts, etc.

We're currently offering Coed Kickball, Coed Dodgeball, Coed Volleyball and Coed Indoor Kickball in our major markets and dodgeball in our smaller markets!

As we expand, we will look into offering: Wiffleball, Soccer, 4-square, Tetherball, Social Running Groups, Marathon Training, and anything else we think may be fun!

Sport and social leagues (or clubs) are springing up all around the nation. They offer young adults, typically in their twenties and thirties, the opportunity to stay active after college, meet new people, and have an outlet for some mild competition.

Sports typically range from the common (Soccer, Flag-Football, Basketball, Softball, etc.), to the "recess" style sports (Kickball, Dodgeball, etc.). Some leagues may offer additional activities such as fitness classes and dance classes.

A sport and social club offers the social element as well. After each game, players can head to a local bar near the playing field for a chance to mingle and have discounted drinks.

You can sign up as a full team to save money, sign up as a small group to be placed on a team, or sign up individually.

Because XOSO is focused towards adults and bar specials most of our members are between 21-40.

However, if you're physically able to play and are at least 21 we would be happy to have you join us!

NO!!!

This is a coed recreational league designed to meet people and have fun!

Sports like kickball, dodgeball, volleyball and capture the flag are fun recess sports. No athletic ability required, just try your best!

Of course!

XOSO offers the ability to register as an individual, a small group, or a full team. Signing up as a team saves you money, but most of our members sign up as individuals (free agents) and are placed on teams.
