There are three ways you can participate in a Stonewall Sports Regular Season as an active player. You can:

• Create and captain a team

• Creating your own team and acting as the captain gives you control over how you build your roster. You can recruit up to 14 players or a minimum of 10 and will be given free agents to round your team out.

• Playing as a free agent is a great way to experience Stonewall, whether it's your first season or your 10th! Our leagues grow year after year, so it's almost guaranteed you'll meet groups of new and friendly people. You can also request to be partnered with a friend as a pair of 4 free agents so that you are placed on a team together.

• Stonewall Kickball teams are coordinated first by the team captain. Before completing the registration process, please ensure that a captain knows you will be taking up a player spot on their team. This prevents any confusion for the team rosters.

All Stonewall Sports Cleveland captains should be excellent communicators, mediators, and leaders.

As a captain you will be responsible for:

• Communicating essential information about schedules, locations, and events

• Selecting the division in which your team will play this season

• Team cohesion and healthy interaction between your team members and other participants

• The on-boarding of your free agent players, helping them transition from new player to fully fledged team member and friend

• Management of line-ups, positions, and general information about the sport

Please direct all questions, comments, and concerns to:

• cleveland.kickball@stonewallsports.org

• send a private message our Facebook Page

• Follow the email format above for any of our sports or Executive Board positions

We ensure that your communications with the league can be treated as confidential and handled respectfully.

Sport-specific questions will be forwarded to your current commissioners; Kaitlyn (Price) Stembridge and Kate Valaitis

Each team plays one game on Sunday as scheduled. We also encourage team brunches and after parties at our league sponsors or just hang out at the park! Participants are encouraged, but not strictly required, to attend each game during the season. Coordinate with your team captain to work around schedules and prior commitments. Teams that are unable to field the minimum number of players will forfeit the game. Scrimmages or socials are encouraged and welcomed.

This year is jam packed with the return of Nationals & Stonewall Sports Cleveland back in full swing. Offering a Remix in conjunction with a shortened season in the falls give us the chance to maximize on the fall months!

We are looking for umpires to undergo our certification process for this season. Any interested persons should contact cleveland.kickball@stonewallsports.org.

We will be holding an umpire certification session before the season starts! Stay tuned for more information.

Check back soon for more information about our new and returning sponsors, whose generosity has made Stonewall Sports Cleveland so successful!

Our league wide sponsors for 2020 are:

Corona Extra (National Sponsor)

Goldhorn Brewery

Twist Social Club

Stonewall Sports is for everyone. Perhaps you haven't kicked a ball since elementary school, thrown a dodgeball since high school, served a volleyball in the sand ever, tried out Yoga since New Years 2017, or enjoyed the social lawn game of Bocce outside of the annual family cookout, or maybe you've been playing in adult leagues for years, either way, we offer a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment for all. In the case you are unsure about sports Stonewall Sports Cleveland offers several social events throughout the year including monthly happy hours and Social Mixers.

This is new!

Teams will be made up of 8-12 registered players that have selected their team and have been invited to play by the captain. The Commissioners will then fill in remaining roster spots with free agents until all registered free agents have been assigned a team.

When a captain signs their team up or creates the team name players can self-identify to that team until the max number of 12 is reached. If for some reason more than 12 people register to a team the last person to register or a volunteer will be moved to a Free Agents Position.

This year we are not hosting two separate divisions, every team will be mixed into the same schedule with equal opportunity to play any other team.

Yes, we have worked with North Coast in the past and identified that overlap does happen. We do our best to accommodate when needed- most of the time the overlap isn't significant enough to shift league dates or move games.
