I've been barking up this tree for more than a year. What I've mostly found is that the ONLY leagues in the Seoul-city proper are in Jamsil. There are also people that play scattered about in the "suburb" cities like Suwon, Bucheon, etc. Being in Western Seoul basically means I'm SOL.

We used to have an inline hockey team here in Pyeongchon with well over 30 members... great times, but it has since fizzled.

However, I'm starting it up again next spring with a few friends. I'll be advertising it a bunch near the end of winter...

how do i get involved with the jamsil leagues?

are they expats ? koreans?

are there websites? are they playing now that it's winter?

and what would you say is the skill level over here in korea? i heard that it's comparable to n.america

are there mostly expats playing, or are there lots of korean as well?

There used to be a league that met regularly in Ilsan near the Lake park.....

I play on an inline team in Bucheon, just west of Seoul, but the team is about to break for the winter.

There is a popular ball hockey league in Jamsil that I know of.

There's an inline hockey league called the CHL (http://chl.or.kr/) There are two divisions (east and west). The eastern teams play matches in Ogeum, by Jamsil; and the western teams play in Ilsan.

Championships are next week, so this year is basically done. But it'll start up again next March.

Best thing to do would be to contact a team and ask to join. There are lots of foreigners in the league actually.

Besides the CHL, there are also lots of tournaments throughout the year hosted by different organizations. So again, it would be best to join a team.
