Represent

Play for more than yourself

Like a footballer who plays for a club and is called up for their country, you can rep your club, your school, your state and your nation.

Clubs

Start a club or sign for one. Contracts, transfer windows, free agents and wages in coins — and club leagues and cups to win.

Schools

Play for your school, as a student or as alumni. Every win counts in the School League; school reps pick teams for sponsored school cups.

State & nation

The best-ranked players each season get called up to represent their state and their country.
