Does Rafa League accept free agents?
Yes! Our free agent guarantee means you don't pay until we can guarantee you a spot on a team.
Are there referees?
Our league is self-officiated. Players are expected to know the rules and make their own calls during the game. We believe this creates better sportsmanship, keeps games flowing, and builds mutual respect on the pitch. A Rafa League convenor is always on-site to ensure safety and keep a fun but competitive atmosphere.
How long are Rafa League games?
Games are 50 minutes with no breaks. Regular season games have no overtime. The goal is to keep the energy high and the games moving. Players are expected to arrive 10 minutes before their scheduled game time to warm up and be ready to play.
What skill level is required to join?
All skill levels are welcome! Rafa League focuses on providing a fun, competitive, and inclusive environment for players of all abilities.
Where are Rafa League games played?
Games may be played at various fields / facilities in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. Season schedules with location details will be posted and communicated out to players before the start of each season.
How many players should I have on my team?
We recommend a roster size of 8-10 players per team, but allow up to 15 players (please contact us if you need an exception for more). This allows for a healthy balance between adequate player game time, and enough subs for high-intensity matches.
What's included in the Rafa League registration fee?
12 total games, including 3 guaranteed playoff games, professional league management, on-site convenors for every match, plus feature in our player community platform with game highlights, player stats, and more to come!
