⚡ Eligibility & Format

• Ages 21+
• Open to all, LGBTQ+ players and allies welcome
• Three leagues to match your level (Red · Blue · Yellow, or Social · Intermediate · Competitive)
• Teams of up to 18 players; small groups and free agents placed by the league
• 8-week seasons running Sundays during summer and winter

🔴 Red League — Casual / Social

Never played dodgeball or it's been a while? Focused on fun over scores, or have a low to medium grasp of the rules? Red league is your spot. Low-stakes, slower-paced, and built for people who want to get moving and have a good time without the pressure of competitive play. Abilities will vary and hopefully grow — but improvement is never required.

• Some familiarity with the game; may not have played much since school, or ever
• Ball throwing at various levels — low to medium speed, distance, and accuracy
• Varying dodging and catching ability; consistency not expected

🔵 Blue League — Intermediate

Played dodgeball with Stonewall or another league several times? Been on teams that placed well in social leagues? Confident in your athletic ability but still sharpening your dodgeball skills? Blue league is for players who know the game well and can hold their own on the court — a more involved, faster-paced experience without going fully competitive.

• Know the cadence of the game; familiar with deflections, live/dead/zombie ball rules, and basic team strategy
• Medium to high throwing speed; can aim more reliably at opponents
• Can catch, deflect, and/or dodge more than half of balls thrown at medium to high speed
• Actively tracking teammates, opponents, and ball locations; developing situational awareness

🟡 Yellow League — Competitive / Advanced

Confident in the rules, master of basic and advanced dodgeball skills, and consistently winning over most other teams? Yellow league is high-paced, strategy-driven, and built for players with a track record of strong, consistent play and a burning fire to win.

• Can throw quickly from almost anywhere on the court to almost anywhere on the opponent's side
• Can catch, deflect, and/or dodge most balls — even at high speed and with fast response times
• Aiming at specific body parts on opponents
• Consistently thinking about game strategy, ball control, court composition, and opponent analysis
