MSSC runs Kickball in the Spring, Summer, and Fall each year. You can sign up a team or register as an individual and MSSC will place you on a team if we have any teams looking for additional players. The recommended team size is 15 players.

Basic Info

Some league information appears on this page. More is found in our Frequently Asked Questions and the rulebooks linked in the grey menu bar toward the top of the page. General club policies can be found at the bottom of this page in the Info & Help section.

Format

• Spring season typically runs mid-April to early July, Summer runs early July to August, and Fall runs August to mid-October. The Summer and Fall seasons don't start until the previous season has been completed
• Teams are co-ed and consist of ten players on the field (minimum of five females for a full team)
• Shirts, equipment, field prep, and umpires are provided by MSSC
• Games are nine innings or one hour - whichever comes first
• We use extra-durable kickballs specifically designed for adult kickball - no cheap playground balls in our league. This means there is a much smaller chance of the ball popping or becoming egg-shaped and adversely affecting gameplay
• Please read the rulebok linked in the grey bar toward the top of the page for full details on format and rules

League Capacity

Leagues have a capacity and may sell out. Sign up early if you want to play. We have capacity for 18 teams each night.

Skill Level and Divisions

Captains will be asked to rate their team's skill level on a scale of 1-10. We'll form appropriate divisions based on the skill level of registered teams if we can. We reserve the right to change a captain's ranking of their team if they've played before and we feel the rating isn't accurate. 

Teams should always overstate their skill level rather than understate it. Example: If you think your team may be somewhere between a 5 and a 7, enter 7 and see how the season goes. It's much more palatable to have an average team end up with a sub-.500 record in a higher skill division vs. a more skilled team destroying all the other teams in a lower skill division.

Which nights are the most (or least) competitive?

This could vary greatly from season to season, but for Summer 2025, the leagues were ranked from most to least competitive roughly as follows:

1.  Wednesday
2. Thursday
3. Tuesday

Individual Sign Up Information

• Please read our Free Agents page for tips and expectations when registering as an Individual
• Men: We typically are not able to place very many males who register as Individuals since most teams are not looking for additional males.
• Ladies: If you want to be placed on a team, it's best to just sign up on your own and NOT request to be placed with a male, as there is a much smaller chance a team will pick you up if you want to play with a guy.

Dates and Location

• We have leagues on the east side every year on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Spring and Summer leagues are usually held at Demetral Field on Packers Ave. Fall leagues are sometimes held at the Olbrich softball diamonds if Demetral isn't available
• Locations for any given league are not set in stone. They're subject to change at any time based on the whims of Madison Parks. We often have leagues that end up changing facilities for one reason or another, and players should be prepared to play wherever the league is located

Scheduling

• Since it's asked all the time: Schedules are posted a few days after registration closes. If you signed up for Tuesday nights, your team plays on Tuesdays nights, and you should be available for any time slot
• There are very few holidays in the middle of the week during the summer. Kickball does not play on July 4th, but does play every other day that week. Please take this into account when entering any dates your team may be unavailable to play during registration

Prizes and Other Benefits

These can change from season to season and will be communicated to all teams via email. Prizes are generally awarded in the following order:

1. Gift cards will awarded if the league has a sponsor bar
2. A credit to an upcoming season will be applied for leagues that don't have sponsor bars
3. MSSC “gift cards” will be issued if it's the last outdoor league for the year and the captain doesn't want to apply the credit to a different upcoming sport or league. They will also be issued if the team is not playing the upcoming season. The gift card is stored in the captain's Player Profile, is valid for any league, and doesn't expire
