Kickball is exactly what you remember from recess, except now there’s no one picked last and everyone takes over the patio at Harold’s after.
It’s our anchor sport. The first league Stonewall Sports Fargo ever ran. When registration opened in July 2022, this is the game that brought people out to Gooseberry Mound Park in Moorhead on a Sunday afternoon and proved that the FM area was ready for this.
The rules are simple. A rubber ball. A diamond. You kick it and you run. If that sounds like something you can handle, you can handle kickball.
Kickball is the great equalizer. It’s a sport where the veteran athlete and the absolute beginner find common ground. While we prioritize the social experience, we aren’t just here to stand around—we’re building a well-structured league where healthy competition and a solid understanding of the rules make the game better for everyone.
That balance is intentional. This league makes space for the former club players who still have a competitive edge and the people who haven’t played a team sport since elementary school. We expect our players to learn the game and respect the play, ensuring that every Sunday at Gooseberry is as rewarding on the field as it is on the patio at Harold’s afterward.
Games happen on Sunday afternoons. Like all Stonewall leagues, you can register for a specific team if you have an invite, or sign up as a Free Agent. If you’re a free agent, we’ll match you with a group that fits your vibe—whether you’re here for the community first or looking for a more competitive edge. Every game is followed by a trip to Harold’s, because the post-game hang is just as important as the game itself.
That post-game tradition has been part of the culture since day one. It’s where teammates become friends. It’s the part people talk about when they tell someone else to sign up.
Spring season, Sunday afternoons
Southside Regional Park, Moorhead.
None required. Seriously.
Shoes you can run in. Water. Willingness to have a good time.
You'll get one. They're color-coded and they're a whole thing.
Picture this: a sunny Sunday in a Moorhead park. Dozens of people in bright colored shirts, spread across a kickball diamond, cheering for someone who just booted a rubber ball into the outfield. Someone on the sideline is keeping score. Someone else is already talking about what they’re ordering at the food truck at Harold’s after the game. A person who signed up alone three weeks ago is high-fiving their whole team.
That’s kickball. That’s the vibe.
