Kickball
Our biggest and best of all the leagues. This was the very first GAAY Sports League in the spring of 2022 with just 44 people. Now, our Lansing league typically has over 140 people each session. With 8 or more teams, this is where it's at! We also have leagues in Grand Rapids and look to add Ann Arbor in the summer of 2024. Also, we hope to have the first state-wide tournament in 2024 between the three cities and may even invite the Detroit leagues not affiliated with us.
Ages
All participants must be 18 years of age or older on the first day of the season to participate.
When
We typically run two sessions of kickball a year. One usually begins in April and continues into June. We consider this our Spring League. Then we usually start another league in August and finish sometime in early October. We consider this our Fall League.
Where
Locations will be disclosed to paid participants a week before the league starts.
Practices
We don't have any formal or official practices. We leave that up to the teams and our volunteer coaches to do decide for themselves.
Games
This is an eight-week league. Typically you play seven regular season games and then the final week is the championship tournament. It tends to vary season to season depending on how many teams you have, but a minimum eight games.
Jerseys
All participants will receive a team t-shirt as part of their registration. We are looking at options to receive a discount if you play on the same team and reuse your t-shirt, but still working on that.
Extra Costs
If you need a 2XL or larger shirt, there is an additional fee. Otherwise, plan on going to a Sponsor Bar/Restaurant after the games for food, friendship, and fun so you will need some money for that!

Frequently Asked Questions
I haven't played since I was a kid, should I still play?
It's like riding a bike, you'll remember how real quick. Besides, the real point of the league is to have fun and socialize with out people, so don't worry too much about being good at kickball.
I'm not very athletic, will people on my team be upset with me if I drop a ball?
If they are, then they are playing in the wrong league, not you. We are here to have fun and meet new people. Though we can all get a little competitive at times, we need to remember we aren't play for any extravagant prizes or money, so just let it go, and catch the next one kicked your way!
Am I too old to play?
If you are asking the question, then you are not too old. If you think you might be able to, then yes you can! If you can kick the ball and run to first base, we got a spot for you!
I'm not gay, can I still play?
Of course you can! The second A in GAAY is for allies. As long as you support and love us, we welcome you to come be a part of our family!
