TUC Membership 2011

All players in TUC leagues must first be a valid member of TUC, as our Club is a true not-for-profit organization driven by its membership. The new TUC membership year begins April 1, 2011 and runs through to March 31, 2012. Therefore, in order to play in Spring or Summer Leagues in 2011 you must renew your membership or signup for a new one. Then you complete your league fees. If you registered for a membership in the Fall (2010) or Winter (2011) those memberships were pro-rated and do not cover the new membership year. So first and foremost, register for your TUC 2010/2011 membership! Visit our Membership Information page for more details.

Summer League information is now posted on our Summer League General Info page and our Summer League Registration page.

Team fees for Summer League will be $850 per team and individual fees (for those who want to register as a solo player on a hat team) are $65 per person. The cost for a game on a per-player basis for the summer is an average of $4 per person. Summer season is 15 guaranteed games, co-ed 7-on-7, games to 17, full field.

Captain's Meeting
