No! Stonewall Sports Raleigh embraces inclusivity and welcomes participants of all sexual orientations, genders, gender identities, races, religions, ages, status', etc.

We believe in inclusivity, not exclusivity. We respect all players identities and encourage everyone to express themselves as they wish.

No experience is needed to participate! Whether you're a seasoned athlete or new to the sport, there is a place for you. The focus is on creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where people can enjoy playing sports, while also building connections within the community.

Note: some leagues offer divisions based on skill level/experience:

  • A Division - Advanced Division
  • B Division - Intermediate Division
  • C Division - Novice Division

Check our Sport Registration page to see the active league registrations (note: most sports have multiple seasons throughout a given year).

Participants must have an active account with LeagueApps to register for a sport. When you register for a sport, you have four options:

  • Team Captain: You will create and captain your own team of players.
  • Team Player: You know what team you are playing on and will directly register on that team.
  • Free Agent: You want to play, but don't have a team to play on. You will be randomly assigned to a team.
  • Small Group Member: You have one-three other friend(s) that want to play on the same together. Your small group will be randomly assigned to a team.

Each sport registration fee varies, but we strive to have affordable registration costs across all our sports.

Registration deadlines vary per sport, but typically close one month prior to the league start date.

Note: leagues fill up fast, so make sure to register early to reserve your spot.

Registration includes a team t-shirt and covers that respective league fee (including all season games/playoff tournament).

We try our best to place all free agents on a team, including creating a Free Agent team if enough individuals register as free agents. In the event that we are unable to place you on a team, we will provide a full refund.

Note: Free Agents can expect to receive their team placement via LeagueApps. The Schedule will sent via email no later than 7 days prior to the league start.

​You will receive a confirmation email shortly after registering. About seven days before the league start date, you will receive the season schedule via email from the Sport Director.

Note: If you have any questions about the league, you can email the respective Sport Director.

Refunds are NOT given after you register for a league, with the following exceptions:

  • The league is canceled before the season begins
  • Call-ups to military service before the league begins
  • Medical incapacity before the league starts (requires a doctor’s note to be provided to the Sport Director)

Most games run between 30 minutes-to-1 hour. Each league plays within the assigned timeframe weekly (*Note: Playoff Tournament times are subject to change). Game times will rotate each week within the assigned timeframe and your team may play a double-header on a given week.

We try our best to play scheduled games, but may wait til closer to game start before making a decision. Sometimes game cancellation is out of our control, as some locations are City of Raleigh fields and they have the City has the final decision on field closure.

If games are canceled due to weather, participants will be notified via email and Team Captains will be notified via GroupMe.

Note: Canceled games may or may not be rescheduled dependent on a number of factors; this information will be communicated to Team Captains by the Sport Director.

If you are a Team Captain, below are typical responsibilities:

  • Attend the pre-season Captains Meeting (or send a team designee if you cannot attend).
  • Ensure your team has enough players each week by taking 'roll call' via messaging, group chat, and/or emailing your team. If your team does not have enough players in a given week and needs to forfeit a game, the Team Captain must notify the Sport Director in advance.
  • Communicate league info and schedule changes to your players.

For additional questions or concerns, it is the Team Captain’s responsibility to contact the Sport Director.

Each sport typically hosts a KickOff Party prior to the season start date where players can pick up their team t-shirt and meet other participants/teams.

If you cannot attend the KickOff party, your team t-shirt will be given to you at the first game by your Team Captain.

​For our Kickball & Dodgeball leagues, we promote the league Sponsor's Bar for ‘Sunday Funday.’ This provides an opportunity for members to build community in a social way each week after the games end.

In previous years, Sponsors have included Legends Nightclub, Flex, and The Avenue.
