Sign up as a free agent and you'll be matched with other players who are also looking for a team. For those looking for a slower paced sport, the Wiffleball league may be just what you need. It’s a great opportunity to get some exercise, meet new people, and compete for a championship. All levels of experience are welcome. The winning team/individual receives IM Champ T-Shirts.
