Eligibility Verification

Team Roster

Each team captain must submit a roster of prospective participants along with each player’s Student ID/CR Membership number during online registration. Each captain is responsible for ensuring the eligibility of their team members.

Violations

Violation of any eligibility rule(s) will result in:

  • Loss of all contest in which the ineligible player(s) participated (participating is defined as checking into the game).
  • May result in disqualification of the violator from further Rec Sports participation in that sport.
  • A $20 fine for each game in which the player participated.
  • Playoffs: During the playoffs, player eligibility must be protested prior to the game or as soon as the ineligible player checks into the game.

Eligibility 

  • Sport Club members competing in the same Rec Sport are limited to two players on a roster. There are current clubs that play in the following Rec Sports – Soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, Basketball, Tube Polo, and Volleyball. Previous Rec Sport Executive Board rulings have ruled in favor of hockey, baseball and fast pitch playing Rec Sports because even though the Rec Sport is similar, the rules and game play are much different.
  • This is one or two per roster, not out on the playing field. The reason being Sport Clubs have access to funding, facilities, equipment and training that other teams do not have.
  • A team roster may have no former college NCAA Division 1 or 2 varsity athlete who has participated in that related sport within the last academic school year. There are no restrictions on the number of former collegiate athletes on the roster if they had played previous to the year time frame.
    • This includes water polo when playing Tube Polo.
  • The year starts after their last game played. Other additional items: Students that are dismissed from a team before the start of the season are eligible if it is based on lack of aptitude and they provide written documentation from a coach.
  • Coaches are treated the same as above for their respective sport. If they have been out of the sport for year, they have full eligibility.
  • A professional athlete within the past seven (7) years will be ineligible for all related sports. Professional athletes must have signed a contract to be considered professional.

Campus Recreation and UC Davis are committed to making its programs accessible to persons with disabilities. If you need an accommodation to participate in a program because of a disability, please contact the Administrative Office at least four weeks prior to the event or activity with information regarding the requested accommodation.

Step 3: Sign up for your Activities & Enjoy!

Once you have purchased your Rec Sports Pass, you should download the Fusion Play app (on Android & Apple) and sign in with your Kerberos credentials. You can then make a new team or join an existing one. If you're new to the app, check out this video with information on teams. Teams are only accepted into divisions when they have reached roster minimums so make sure your friends add themselves asap! Alternatively, if you are interested in a sport and don't already have teammates to play with you, you can join one of our free agent teams (more info on Leagues & Tournaments page). 

Have a good quarter! We hope you enjoy our Rec Sports activities.
