Sign-up Links and Forms are Up!
Players and coaches:
All sign-up materials are updated on the site. Last year we introduced an online payment option (Cheddar Up). This year, we are adding the release form to the online checkout system. Release forms must be signed by someone 18 or over. If paying with cash, you can still download the paper form from this site.
An in-person turn-in will be made available to coaches needing to drop off payment, forms, or pickup brooms.
Practices can start the week of November 1st after payment and release forms are in.
Coaches Meeting Sept 30!
A new season is approaching! The coaches meeting will be Thursday, September 30th, from 8:00-9:30pm in the Bowsher cafeteria. Anyone who would like to help coach or volunteer should also attend. For all of our existing teams, this is a mandatory meeting so please have at least one member to represent your team.
Practices can begin today!
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
This week marks the beginning of practices if teams have release forms and fees turned in. A report should have been sent to all coaches showing the status of their teams.
Also, a COVID-19 monitoring form has been added to the Coach Resource section. It can be downloaded using the icon below. These can be mailed to “league at gtbl dot org” but please contact a board member ASAP if there is a confirmed case/exposure.
Have fun and stay safe!
2021 Season Update
Happy New Year everyone!
Summary of important dates:
January 7 @ 8-9pm: contactless turn-in and equipment pickup.
January 14 @ 7pm: coaches meeting
January 18: Practices may begin
Beginning of March: planned start to regular season
We hope everyone has had a happy and safe holiday. The 2021 season is still happening. As you can imagine, it will look much different than most years.
As previously communicated to coaches, we are going to have a contactless turn-in available this Thursday, January 7th at the Bowsher parking lot from 8-9pm. We ask you please have your rosters and release forms organized and that any money is a single cashier’s check or money order if possible. Everything should be in a single large envelope. Crutch tips, brooms and broomballs will be available as well.
We have several teams using the Cheddar Up online payment method! Thank you for spreading the word on this. It has been very popular and we plan to keep this going forward. Pictures of signed release forms can be emailed to “league at gtbl dot org” (spelled out to reduce spam). We will send a summary to all coaches after turn-in that shows the payment and release form status of their rosters.
Practices may start on January 18th but only for paid players with a signed release form.
The regular season is planned to start in March and a coaches meeting will be held Thursday January 14th at 8pm to review some guidelines and answer any questions.
We look forward to making this a great season!
Coaches Meeting
Be sure to check your email for details on today’s virtual Coaches’ meeting!
It begins at 8pm on Zoom. We are not publishing the link to avoid surprise guests.
2020 Season Guide and Files Available
The resources section now has the complete season guide that was handed out at the last meeting and materials recently sent to coaches’ email addresses. Individual sections are also provided. Any other changes to schedules prior to the season starting will be updated here as well.
The standings, match listings and cross tables should be completed in a few days.
Notes for Coaches Meeting January 14
For those not on the coaches’ email distribution list, the January 14 meeting will be held in the Bowsher auditorium (not the cafeteria) at 7pm. Since Bowsher is also hosting a basketball game, extra security will be stationed to check bags and screen for weapons (including brooms).
Please allow for extra time to clear the security station.
2020 Season Approaching!
Welcome back, everyone, to the next season of broomball! We will be posting the meeting schedules soon which include the next coaches meeting, new player try-it night(s), and the team turn-in. Until then, the 2020 release form has been posted in the Resources / Coaches section.
Coaches, please remember that practices cannot start until December 1st and no player should be practicing without a signed release form.
See you soon!
