Teams of 8-12 players.

Teams are considered complete once they have 8+ registered players. This means that team is guaranteed a spot in the upcoming season. Any team with less than 8 players at the close of registration will receive free agents to meet the required number of players per team. Free Agents will not be assigned to any team with 8 or more registered players unless approved by the captain. Teams will be required to assistant ref and line ref for other games.

If you are brand new to the Stonewall Sports - Richmond family, you do not need a team to register. Many teams within our league have started as Free Agent teams. Free Agents may be assigned to a new or existing team based on their skill level ranking and availability, but all will be accommodated!

Games will be played at Richmond Volleyball Club - Byrdhill (2921 Byrdhill Rd, Richmond, VA 23228).

Regular season games will be Sunday evenings starting January 18th with a 2 day end of season tournament one on March 1st and March 8th.

Regular season games will be 50 minutes long maximum. Tournament games will be shorter in length until the semi-finals and finals.

Team captains will be able to choose their t-shirt color based upon the following parameters:

1. A returning team may keep their last season Volleyball t-shirt color if that team has a returning captain/co-captain in a team leadership role. Exceptions may be made if both the captain/co-captain are no longer able to serve as captain/co-captain, but will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

2. T-shirt color preferences will be honored based upon the order that teams complete their registration (having 6+ registered members) and provided the captain requests T-shirt colors from the following T-Shirt color options link. T-Shirt Color Options (once a team is granted a shirt color, subsequent requests by other teams for similar colors may not be granted at board discretion if it is deemed that the color request will make it difficult to discern one team from another).

3. Once a captain's shirt preference is logged, if that team decides to change shirt color preferences, their team's place in preference order may also change depending on the number of teams who have complete registrations and have provided accurate T-shirt color option requests. The color requests must be reported to richmond.operations@stonewallsports.org, even if the change is made on LeagueApps (the email timestamp will be used to determine new placement in preference order).

4. If you would like to update your color preferences after registration it must be done via email to richmond.operations@stonewallsports.org.
