You can click here to become a member today! Otherwise, you will be prompted to become a member when you register for your first CMSA sport of a new membership year.

The CMSA membership year runs from September 1 to August 31 

No. You’ll sign up for your membership for the first sport you play each membership year, and then your membership covers the remainder of your sports for that membership year. For example, if you play winter indoor soccer, spring flag football, and summer beach volleyball, your membership fee would be paid when you sign up for winter indoor soccer – and then your membership covers the remainder of your sports for the year!

The membership fee is $30.00 plus processing fees.

Unfortunately, no. While you only need to pay the membership fee once per membership year, you must pay the applicable player and/or team fees for each sport you sign up for. These sport fees cover the park/facility rentals, referees, equipment, and other sport-specific costs. The membership fees cover your insurance, your attendance at the annual party and other social events, marketing, and other overhead expenses for the organization.

No. You must become a CMSA member in order to participate in a sport.

The application can be found here. This goes directly to CMSA Treasurer who works directly with you on this process.

CMSA takes these matters very seriously.

Why is this important? We have worked closely with members, captains, and other league leaders to identify methods to build safety into our leagues. We hold every member, leader, and participant to the CMSA Code of Conduct (see below) which includes both online and in-person activities and events tied to CMSA.

If any player, captain, and/or leader feels unsafe would like to open up more about this topic and confidentially report it, they should complete this Discrimination and Harassment form and/or email  deireporting@chicagomsa.org
