Show-Me State Games kickball entries close July 17, no walk-ups allowed

The clock runs out on Show-Me State Games kickball entries July 17, and organizers will not take on-site registrations. That leaves teams with a hard cutoff to get into the field before the July 25 competition and removes any chance of walking in late and signing up at the venue.

The official kickball listing says entries will continue to be accepted until July 17, with no on-site registrations allowed. The timing matters because the 2026 Show-Me State Games are spread across June 11-14, July 17-19 and July 24-26, a schedule that stretches the amateur festival across several summer weekends and requires teams to commit early.

Kickball sits in the final July portion of that calendar, with the sport date listed as July 25, 2026. One promotional post tied the event to Rainbow Softball Center on July 26, while the official sports listing pins kickball to July 25, putting the competition squarely in the Games’ closing weekend.

The registration push also shows how the event is being built for both full squads and individual entrants. An Instagram post said kickball signups are open for teams or individuals and listed pricing at $200 per team, while the Facebook promotion laid out roster limits for age mix. Teams must include 13-and-under players at four or more, while the 14-and-up group can have no more than four players, with adults allowed in the lineup.

Those rules give the event a specific shape: it is not a loose, bring-whoever-you-want pickup tournament, but a scheduled competition with defined roster construction and a firm entry deadline. The no walk-up policy is the clearest signal yet that organizers want brackets, fields and game times settled before the first pitch kicks off.

For teams still deciding, the message from Columbia, Missouri, is straightforward. Get the roster in before July 17, or the July 25 kickball field closes without them.
