Below is a guided step by step process on how to register your team in a Starfire Sports Premier Soccer League. If you have any questions about your registration or the leagues that are not answered on our website, please send us an Email.

how to register

• Team Manager logs in and creates a team by registering - (NOTE: We identify the Team Manager as the person that is going to pay the team deposit AND be the primary contact during the league in the event of updates or changes)
• Team Manager pays the deposit or entire team fee
• Team Manager then lets the players on the team know what division, team name and team password - each player must register themselves using the guided information below
• Players login and add themselves to their team's roster (NOTE: New members will be charged an additional $25) The captain will be responsible for making sure the league fee gets paid.
• One week before the season, Starfire will e-mail the captains with their outstanding balance, so the captain can arrange for payment of the remaining balance.
