If you’d like to help the league and/or learn more about baseball, this is a great opportunity! Even volunteering for one game goes a long way. Just show up early or stay behind after your game one week. Umpires help other players focus on play and keep the flow of the game going. You don’t need to be an expert at baseballing to be an umpire. If you want to learn or be mentored we can make that happen! This year the schedule has four slots per game: 2 ‘experienced’ and 2 ‘learning’ players. If you are learning, we can have you shadow and get you in a spot to succeed and make some easier calls while helping keep track of outs/runs/etc.

As a reminder, we use the same Guiding Principles when communicating with umpires as we do with other players in the league. The umpire’s decisions are final, and we can talk between innings or after the game for clarification. 

Sign up here to umpire AND to learn! The schedule is here. If you see an empty slot in a time that works for you, put your name down.

Thank you everyone for your interest in the 2022 season! Our registration filled up more quickly than we’ve ever experienced! We’re excited to launch the new season and can’t wait to have you join for our draft day!

Draft day

Draft day is a live event where we sort our teams into the five “houses” or teams of the league, each named after a watershed in the Toronto area.

This year’s draft day takes place on April 11 at 7PM ET. We’ll release more information as the day approaches.

Substitute players

This year’s registration filled up more quickly than we’ve ever experience in our league history! We want to thank everyone for your interest and enthusiasm! After this year’s registration, we’ll be reflecting on ways to make our registration process more transparent.

If you want to play but missed registration or simply want a lighter commitment, you can join our substitute players list. Learn more about subbing for the Field of Dreamers and fill out the form here.

Are you ready dreamers? It’s our fifth season of softball as Field of Dreamers and we’re so excited to celebrate this monumental milestone with you.

Right now, the coordinating committee is processing registrations (with advance registration for last year’s players), reflecting on last year’s COVID-19 protocols and other league rules, getting the site ready for a new season, and preparing for draft day!

Registration is now open for new players! We have 19 new roster sports available in 2022! If you can’t make the full season commitment, we highly recommend you add your name to the subs list. We always need subs!
