Scottsdale opens fall adult kickball registration for 14-game season
Scottsdale is opening its fall adult kickball window with a 14-game schedule that ends in a single-elimination tournament, giving the league a more serious finish than most casual rec nights. The City of Scottsdale’s kickball page, last updated July 8, lays out a season built for easy entry and clear rules: one night a week, double-header games, and a coed format that runs across four seasons.
For fall 2026, games are set for Tuesday through Thursday evenings starting Sept. 15. The non-officiated team fee is $225, climbing to $245 after Aug. 2, and registration opens at 8 a.m. on July 20 for residents and July 21 for non-residents. The last day to register is Aug. 16, so the window is short enough that teams need to move quickly if they want the lower rate and a spot in the field rotation.
The city has also made the logistics fairly straightforward. Team managers use TeamSideline for roster management and waivers, while free agents can sign up individually and be placed on a team if space opens. Scottsdale also keeps a sport-specific free-agent list for kickball, and that list remains active for one year unless removed earlier by request. In other words, players do not need to recruit a full roster before they can get in.
The rules show the league is managed like a real adult sports product, not an informal pickup session. Players must be 18 or older by the first day of league play, rosters are capped at 20 players, and individual awards go to 12 players. Teams get a five-minute grace period before a forfeit is called, but four or more forfeits can drop a team from the league without a refund and may block future registration.
Scottsdale is also using city facilities to give the league a broader footprint. Kickball is played at Chaparral Park, Eldorado Park and Vista del Camino Park, while the city says organized play on its fields requires a reservation. The same adult sports system also carries basketball, flag football, indoor volleyball, sand volleyball, softball, swimming and tennis, which is a sign the city is treating kickball as part of a larger municipal sports menu rather than a one-off novelty. The result is a league that is easy to enter, hard to ignore and structured enough to keep players coming back for four separate seasons.
