UBC REC offers a variety of competitive levels of play in most of our programs. To get an idea about how we separate these levels, and what experience you should have in each of these levels, please have a look at our Competition Structure

Your first option should always be your fellow students, faculty or staff. All students on campus have a REC Rep that they can go to for information on the UBC REC Program. REC Reps are appointed for every faculty, residence, club, and greek society. You can find out who your REC Rep is through the councils that represent that unit (ex. The Science REC Rep can be found through the Science Undergrad Society). REC Reps can help you find other people in your unit also interested in playing the same sports you are. They can also help you with the registration process.

There will be a listing of all current REC Reps here once the school year starts.

Your second option is to register on one of the designated free-agent teams. In all applicable UBC REC programs there will be a limited number of teams available for free-agents to register directly to. On these teams there will be a limited number of spots on that team for players. There is a cost to register on these teams as a free-agent via this system (roughly what your individual team fees would be on a traditionally formed team), but you are guaranteed a spot in the league as long as enough free-agents register for that team. Please be aware that not all UBC REC programs or levels of play will necessarily have free-agent teams available to register on. To see which programs have free-agent teams available to register on, please check the table below. You can click the activity name and jump right to the registration page for that activity.

Please note that Activities that run in the winter term (All term 2 leagues, Gladiator, and Storm the Wall) will not be available to register for until October 5th, 2012.

For a more detailed listing of exact play times for all League Sports, please check out the UBC REC Leagues Rigid Schedule

For Free Agents in the UBC REC Adult Summer Soccer League, please contact Tristan Brown at tbrown@rec.ubc.ca

* - Indicates that this is one half of CoRec team. This means both the female and male minimum registration requirements must be met for this team to be formed.

The third option is to sign up as a free agent using our free agent system. You will need to create an account with our UBC REC Login system (It’s free and only takes a minute). Once your account is created, you’ll see the second last option on the main menu is Players looking for a team. Click that link, and then the “Sign up as a Free Agent” link on the next page. From there, you can fill out your information for as many sports as you want.

Teams looking for players will be able to search that list and contact you through the listed information. Teams can add players up until the roster deadline listed on the important dates panel for all sports

Your fourth option is to attend the Free-Agent Meeting. The time, date, and location for these Free-Agent Meetings can be found on the specific program webpage.

At this meeting, we will try and match you up with other like-minded people and hopefully get you into position to register a team.

Here are the currently scheduled Free Agent Meetings
