NEW COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES - PLEASE READ

All players will be required to show proof of vaccination or negative test results within 72 hours of each game. For players in need who are unable to get vaccinated or tested weekly, we will provide testing supplies in order for them to show a negative test result for each game. Players are not required to wear masks while playing games, but spectators and players not playing a game will be required to wear masks within game areas. For more information, please click here.

FEE WAIVER

The Diversity and Inclusion Committee has set up a needs-based fee waiver program. For more information, please click here.

TEAM SIZE

Teams of 16-20 players.

Teams are considered complete once they have 16+ registered players. This means that team is guaranteed a spot in the upcoming season. Any team with less than 16 players at the close of registration will receive free agents to meet the required number of players per team. Free Agents will not be assigned to any team with 16 or more registered players unless approved by the captain. Teams will be required to line ref for other games.

GAMES

Games will be at 6:30pm, 7:15pm or 8pm

Regular season games will be 40 minutes long. Tournament games will be 25 minutes long.

DIVISIONS

Divisions may be assigned depending on registration numbers. If used, divisions will be assigned based on the information gathered during registration.

INDIVIDUAL RANKINGS

Everyone who registers will be asked to rate their individual skill level on a scale from 1-4. Players returning from a previous season of Stonewall Sports Richmond Dodgeball are expected to rank themselves a 2 or higher.

• A Level 1 player has never played dodgeball and is a first time dodgeball player with Stonewall Sports Richmond. They are beginners who are brand new to the sport.
• A Level 2 player has previously played dodgeball with Stonewall Sports or another league but may still be fairly new to dodgeball. They understand the basics but and most general game mechanics, but may not be interested in more competitive play.
• A Level 3 player has played several seasons of dodgeball and/or has a more thorough understanding of the rules and game mechanics. They want to continue refining their skills and to play at a more competitive level.
• A Level 4 player has played several seasons of dodgeball and has a strong understanding of the rules, game mechanics, and skills. They are interested in strategic and competitive play.

TEAM T-SHIRT COLORS

Team T-shirt Colors - team captains will be able to choose their t-shirt color based upon the following parameters:

1. A returning team may keep their Dodgeball t-shirt color if that team has a returning captain/co-captain in a team leadership role.

2. T-shirt color preferences will be honored based upon the order that teams complete their registration (having 14+ registered members) and provided the captain requests T-shirt colors from the following T-Shirt color options link.  T-Shirt Color Options (once a team is granted a shirt color, subsequent requests for similar colors may not be granted at board discretion if it is deemed that the color request will make it difficult to discern one team from another).

3. Once a captain's shirt preference is logged, if that team decides to change shirt color preferences, their team's place in preference order may also change depending on the number of teams who have complete registrations and have provided accurate T-shirt color option requests. The color requests must be reported to richmond.courtsports@stonewallsports.org, even if the change is made on LeagueApps (the email timestamp will be used to determine new placement in preference order).

4. If you would like to update your color preferences after registration it must be done via email to richmond.courtsports@stonewallsports.org. 

If you are brand new to the Stonewall Sports - Richmond family, you do not need a team to register. Many teams within our league have started as Free Agent teams or as a Small Group of 2 or 3 players.
