Atascadero opens registration for 2026 fall adult kickball league

Atascadero has opened registration for its 2026 fall adult kickball league, giving local teams a Wednesday-night slot at Paloma Creek Softball Fields from August 26 through October 14. The eight-week season is built for after-work play, with each game limited to seven innings or one hour, whichever comes first.

The league is coed and team-based only, with rosters set at a minimum of 12 players and a maximum of 18. That roster window pushes the format toward organized groups that can show up consistently, split innings cleanly and keep a full bench moving through a midweek schedule. Registration closes August 7, leaving teams more than a month to organize players and submit entries.

A team managers meeting is scheduled for the week of August 19 at Paloma Creek Softball Fields, with the exact date and time still to be announced. That meeting will be the last checkpoint before the first games begin and should settle rules, field logistics and any final seasonal details for managers trying to line up substitutions, carpools and weekly attendance.

The fall league continues a pattern the City of Atascadero has settled into with adult kickball: regular spring and late summer-fall seasons built around the same Wednesday-night format at Paloma Creek. Spring 2026 registration closed March 23, 2026, while fall 2025 registration closed August 8, 2025, ahead of a season that ran from August 27 through October 15. The repeat calendar gives the league a predictable place in the city’s adult sports slate alongside adult basketball and drop-in basketball.

The city’s March 31, 2025 adult social kickball rulebook lists Trey Gamble as Recreation Coordinator and Larisse Lopez as Recreation Supervisor, and describes the league as a social activity focused on communication, teamwork and friendly competition. That mix has helped the program settle into something closer to a recurring rec-sports staple than a one-off signup, with a fixed venue, steady timing and enough roster flexibility to keep teams coming back from one season to the next.
