Leagues
Levels of Play
Please pay attention to the league descriptions — they have changed. All leagues have levels of competition and encourage socializing. Players and teams may be adjusted or asked to change leagues depending on total sign-ups and experience level.
💎 Sapphire League — Casual
Never played kickball or returning after a long break? Low to medium knowledge of the rules? Sapphire is your league — low-stakes, slow-paced, and focused on getting moving and having fun. The priority is getting your body moving and getting a little better each time from where you began.
- Some familiarity with the game; likely needs rule reminders game to game
- Low to medium throwing speed and distance for pitching and fielding
- Still getting comfortable catching and kicking the ball reliably
- Still learning strategy, placement, and coordinating with teammates
💚 Emerald League — Intermediate
Played kickball with Stonewall before or in another league a few times? Confident in your athletic ability but still refining your skills? Emerald is for players who know the game and can hold their own on the field — a more involved experience at a medium play level.
- Know the rules well, even if you occasionally forget to tag back or foul out
- Getting better at catching fly balls, but not expecting to get every one
- Kicking distance is stronger, but still not as reliably placed
- Can usually move between bases quickly; can throw a good chunk down the field
🟡 Topaz League — Advanced
Kickball regular who can kick, catch, field, and call plays reliably? Won games in social or intermediate leagues but not quite ready for the highest level? Topaz is for players who want to push themselves while still refining their game.
- Players are in sync and calling out to coordinate plays
- Can reliably modulate kick strength and direction; makes it 1–2 bases most times
- Can catch 50–75% of balls in your area and quickly relay to fielders
- Infrequently or never forgets to tag back, pass the orange base, or look for multiple outs
❤️ Ruby League — Competitive
Confident in the rules, master of basic and advanced kickball skills, and consistently winning against most other teams? Ruby League is high-paced, strategy-driven, and built for players at the top of their game.
- Can throw to most players anywhere on the field with speed and precision
- Able to pull off double or triple plays
- Routinely kicks for multiple bases or home runs
- Reliably catches most balls landing in your area
- Quickly calls and strategizes plays with teammates

Season Shirts
To keep programs affordable, reduce waste, and based on your 2025 feedback, we're moving to a one Stonewall shirt per year system. If this is your first 2026 event, you'll get your shirt at this program and will be asked to bring it to any other leagues you play in this year.

Financial Access
Player Fund
We're happy to formally launch our Player Fund. If you or someone you know would like to participate but can't because of cost, we're building a fund to partially or fully offset registration for a portion of players per program. The amount and quantity of awards varies based on demand and available funds. We're currently limiting one award per person per year unless extra unused funds are available.
