The Adult Kickball League is recreational in nature. We offer one coed recreation league but often spilt into sublevels, for example A, B, C and/or upper and lower tournament brackets if numbers allow. The Recreation Program Administrators will enforce proper classification of teams and/or player(s) and have the discretion of moving or placing a team in a division deemed appropriate. If the Game Officials notice that a team and/or player(s) are too skilled for the level of play that they are in, they will notify the Recreation Program Administrators. A team may move up or down accordingly or remove select players as needed. Note: If a team took 1st or 2nd in a previous season they may be moved up to the next level.
