Registration Notifications

 

After a player registers, he/she will receive an email confirmation receipt and their respective Team Captain will receive an email notifying them that a player has joined their team.  For individuals registering as a “free agent”, he/she will receive an email notifying them of their team assignment once registration closes.

 

 

Same Team Requests (Free Agent registration only)

 

Free Agents, wishing to play on the same team, should submit a “Same Team Request” via the Contact GO Kickball link on the GOKickball.com website and include the names of other Free Agents that you want to be placed on the same team.   The GO Kickball staff will make sure that you are assigned to the same team!

 

**NOTE: This is intended for small groups of individuals.  Larger groups should form their own team. **

 

Team Roster

 

Each team must have a minimum of 15 players, including a minimum of 4 female players (there is no max).  Team Captain’s are encouraged to recruit 15+ players.
