City Wide Sports leagues are back for the spring season

Registrater for a City Wide Sports league before May 1.

That ball, racquet or those soccer shoes are probably waiting in the closet for winter to lose its grip. Well, give them a jumpstart by registering your team in one of our City Wide Sports leagues in beach volleyball, basketball, soccer or pickleball. Registration is open now until May 1.

Whether you’re reuniting last season’s lineup or starting fresh with a new group, now’s the opportunity to sign up and get ready for the season. It’sa great opportunity to gather and reconnect with family, friends and co-workers to stay active and have fun this summer.

How to create a team

If you’re organizing a team of players, you’ll register as the team contact in Register Ottawa. Contacts create the team, pay the full team fee up front and then share a team password so that invited players can join the roster. Everyone needs their own Register Ottawa account, and schedules are emailed about a week before the season begins.

How to join a team

Players can only join a team they’ve been invited to. Once the contact creates the team, they’ll give you the team's name and password so you can add yourself to the roster in Register Ottawa. There’s no fee to join through the system and players pay their captain directly.

What’s playing this season

• Beach Volleyball: Evening leagues are offered at Mooney’s Bay Park, Britannia Park, and Petrie Island from late May to mid‑August. There are options for mixed teams, women’s teams and youth teams in formats of three players, four players and six players.
