First, make sure you have a proper team. In baseball, for example, you need nine. In cricket you need eleven. But I advise having a larger squad of around 17, because you never know what people’s schedules may be over the course of a season. If you’re short of a few players, don’t worry too much. Sometimes individual players express a desire to play, so a league or association assesses their skill level and offers them up to both existing and new teams.

Also, make sure that your team manager has an assistant. I’ve noticed that managers often become overwhelmed without a co-manager, particularly when they’re busy playing.

Once you have a team in place, contact the state and national organizations that governs your sport, in order to find out which regional leagues to join and what the process is. Sometimes, depending on the sport and state, there is more than one body to choose from. In Indian cricket for example, Maharashtra has a Maharashtra Cricket Association and a Mumbai Cricket Assocation.

The first thing a league will ask about is your age group and skill level. There are also costs involved. To enter a league, a team must pay for the fields, the umpires and so on. On top of that, each team needs to provide its own uniforms and apparel. (Sometimes teams find corporate sponsorship to pay their costs and get free uniforms.)

It’s worth bearing in mind the cost of insurance, too. Associations may automatically provide catastrophic coverage, but it definitely needs asking about. We advise that each player has personal health insurance in case of injury.

Finally, your team needs a name! Be creative, but keep it clean. We had a baseball team called The Dirtbags once, and that was fine, but there are lines you can’t cross. I think you know what they are.
