I’d like to join a league but I’m not sure what level of play I am?
Select your sport in the menu above, choose your venue and then you’ll see the available leagues. The levels of play (usually recreational/social, intermediate, competitive), are all explained clearly on these pages and cater for differing levels of experience and ability.
How do I know if there is space in the league I want to join?
Select your sport in the menu above, or click “Find activities” and select our venue and then you’ll see the available leagues. If your league is full it will say “Enquire now” if it is full (or has limited spaces left) instead of “Join as individual/team” . When you click “Enquire now” you can leave us details and we can check availability for you
Where can I find the rules for my sport?
Click “Sport” above, and scroll down to the bottom of your specific sport page. In the “Find out more” section near the bottom of the page, you can see a link to the rules. They are also listed on the relevant venue and league pages under “League details” section.
How long is each game?
Games are usually played between 40-60 minutes. For more information on your particular sport, head over the your sport page , click onto the rules tab towards the bottom of the page.
What should I do If I am registered as an individual but will be away/miss some games?
There should be plenty of players in each team to cover games you cannot attend so do not worry. You should also communicate with your team mates ahead of time so they can find a sub/ringer if needed.
Where do I find venue location/time information?
All information on how to get to the venue can be found on the venue page on the website and in your welcome kick-off email. Information on the times of your games/classes will be emailed out to you before each game and can also be found in “My Fixtures” or “My Classes” in your control panel.
Can myself and a friend sign up together and be kept in the same team?
Yes, click “Join as Individual” once you’ve selected the league, and click on “Joining with friends” (in Step 1 of registration) . In this box you can enter the names of the individuals you want to be in a team with. Or, if you have already signed up just drop us an email and we’ll make sure you are put in the same team.
If I am joining as an individual, will there be enough players on my team?
Yes. We intentionally build all individual teams to ensure they have enough players including substitutes.
If I cannot join on the specified start date, can I still join now?
Sports leagues: Fixtures begin on a certain date, so if you are unable to attend the first or any fixture, you should inform your team-mates so they can find a stand-in for you
Fitness classes: Yes – during the sign-up process you can specify a future start date if you are unable to start attending classes immediately.
Can I attend a free trial session before committing?
Sports Leagues: You are welcome to visit a league before committing to joining to watch the league in action and chat to some members. However, please contact us before deciding to visit a venue as we would need to ensure the league manager and facility are expecting you and have you on our records.
Fitness Class: We offer all members a 5 day trial period after signing up. If you are not 100% satisfied with our classes for any reason, your membership will be terminated with immediate effect and your first month’s payment refunded.
How do I know what team I am in if I have registered as an ‘individual’?
You should receive your team information 1 week before your start date, in busy periods however you may not receive them until 48 hours before the start date. On receiving your team-mates details, we recommending introducing yourselves virtually ahead of the first night

Do leagues run over Christmas?
GO Mammoth Leagues take a break over the Christmas Period so that all members can enjoy time with loved ones. The break time can vary depending on which day of the week Christmas falls but games are normally not scheduled for two weeks and do not run between Christmas and the New Year. Fixtures will be updated in December (or before) to show excluded weeks over this Xmas period.

Where can I find the rules for my sport?
Click “Sport” above, and scroll down to the bottom of your specific sport page. In the “Find out more” section near the bottom of the page, you can see a link to the rules. They are also listed on the relevant venue and league pages under “League details” section.
How do we find extra players / ringers / stand-in players for our fixture today?
It is the responsibility of every team to field a full team every week. We have a “Ringers” function when you login to your profile. This will give you the ability to SMS/email other teams in your league or players at nearby venues who have expressed an interest in subbing into other teams.
What happens if our team has to forfeit because we can’t find enough players?
A forfeit should be a last resort as it means your opposing team misses out on a week of games. Forfeits can therefore seriously damage the running of a league and goodwill between teams. In the very rare event of a forfeit please contact us in advance in the office so we can let the opposing team know.
IMPORTANT: If a team forfeits more than once in a season, GO Mammoth has the right to eject the team from the league in the interest of the other teams. In which case, in line with our terms & conditions, no refunds will be given.
If you are struggling for players, please use our Ringers function (see above)
NOTE: When a team does not arrive for a fixture against your own team or when they have forfeited with notice, GO Mammoth will make very effort to find a suitable opposition to fulfil a friendly fixture at the same time and location. Your team will receive a walkover victory in the league and will also get the opportunity to play. If no opposition is available to play the pitch is free for you to use, supervised by a GO Mammoth Rep who will support in running a small sided match or training session.
When will bad weather or other game cancellations be made?
We will work to inform all players via text or email where games are cancelled. However you can also CHECK THE WEATHER CANCELLATIONS PAGE on the day to see your league status. If your league is not listed games are scheduled to continue as normal.
We appreciate players ultimately just want to play each week and inconsistencies with off-weeks is not ideal for anyone. Given we live in the UK, where weather can be very changeable, GO Mammoth’s general viewpoint is that it is better to get players out playing each week EVEN IF it’s wet/cold/rainy/slippery. Similar to school, once you’re running about and playing, you may need to be more conscientious/slow the game down, but it’s still essentially exercise with friends.
Below are the various scenarios for when games may be cancelled due to extreme weather:
Games cancelled in advance – If games are cancelled in advance during the day you will usually be informed by 5pm on the day by email/sms. If this happens, your missed games will be rescheduled (extra week added on to the season) – so you will not miss any games overall. If you do not hear from us by 5pm, please ASSUME all games will be going ahead. We do speak with Venues throughout the day as well as looking at forecasts to determine whether games can go ahead.
Late notice cancellation – very occasionally the weather may deteriorate last minute which means the GO Mammoth umpire has to cancel games when you arrive or after games have already started. We try to minimise this scenario as much as possible for obvious inconveniences for players (and umpires), but when it does happen games not played will be rescheduled or credited. This decision to cancel games is completely at the discretion of GO Mammoth and feeds into the following point.
Late notice cancellation – very occasionally the weather may deteriorate at the last minute or a venue may experience unforeseen circumstances which mean we will receive very late notice that we are unable to run fixtures that evening. This means GO Mammoth reps may need to cancel games at short notice. We try our best to minimise this scenario as much as possible for obvious inconveniences for players (and umpires), but when it does happen games not played will be rescheduled or credited. This decision to cancel games is completely at the discretion of GO Mammoth and feeds into the following point..
Team Forfeits – If you arrive at the venue and the GO Mammoth umpire has said it is playable but you disagree and/or do not wish to play e.g. it may be miserable/slippery/cold/wet etc, then this will be treated as a forfeit and fixtures will not be rescheduled or credits offered. In this instance, the GO Mammoth umpire is best placed to make the decision. Often some teams are happy to play in the conditions whilst others are not, so the last word is to the umpire.
How do I view my fixtures or league standings?
Fixtures and standings are only visible to members. Members should login and select My Fixtures & My Standings from the menu
What should you do if you come across any incorrect scores or errors?
If you have noticed any errors with your scores, email us at hello@gomammoth.co.uk clearly stating the sport you play, the league location, date of the game and the correct score. We will then investigate and update as soon as we can.
How long is each game?
Games are usually played between 40-60 minutes. For more information on your particular sport, head over the your sport page , click onto the rules tab towards the bottom of the page.
What should I do If I am registered as an individual but will be away/miss some games?
There should be plenty of players in each team to cover games you cannot attend so do not worry. You should also communicate with your team mates ahead of time so they can find a sub/ringer if needed.
Where do I find venue location/time information?
All information on how to get to the venue can be found on the venue page on the website and in your welcome kick-off email. Information on the times of your games/classes will be emailed out to you before each game and can also be found in “My Fixtures” or “My Classes” in your control panel.
What if I lose some of my belongings / is there a lost property?
We will endeavour to find your lost item, but take no responsibility for items lost at any of our leagues/classes. Should our staff locate your item, they will typically hold it and it will be available to pick-up the following week at the same venue.
What happens if there are too many players in my individual team?
We build teams of individuals larger intentionally as we’ve found that not all players can make all weeks. e.g if 7 players are on the court, it is normal to have 10 players in a squad. Exactly 7 players leads to teams struggling to find enough players each week. If you are concerned or would like to discuss your squad size, then please contact us in the office
When will I receive fixtures & information of my team?
You should receive your fixtures 1 week before your start date. In busy periods however you may not receive fixtures until 48 hours before the start date.
How do I receive contact information for my team?
Your team mates’ details are available as soon as you receive the league details (just follow the steps in the email) usually 1 week before the league starts. You can find them in your control panel under “My Teams”. We strongly recommend that each team create a group email or team WhatsApp group, it is a great way to stay in touch with each other.
Can I change my team’s name?
Yes, please log into your control panel > My Teams > Rename this team (next to the team name)
