Frequently asked questions

✅ General Info

This is an Adult Social League. All players must be 21 or older to register and participate.

Not at all! We are a 'Social First' league. While we love a good win, our priority is fun, community, and safety. We use soft-foam, non-sting balls to ensure the game is accessible for everyone. Whether you're a dodgeball veteran or just looking to get off the couch, you'll fit right in.

Absolutely. Spectators are welcome at Pauer Sports to cheer you on (even those under 21). However, only registered players 21+ are allowed to play in the games and participate in the official after-party.

No. Alcohol is strictly prohibited inside Pauer Sports. We save the drinks for our official after-party at The Diplomat Lounge immediately following the games!

📝 Registration & Teams

You can register as a free agent without a full team. Check the league listing for available options.

If you have 2-3 friends who want to play together but don't have enough for a full squad, register as a 'Small Group.' We will make sure you are all placed on the same team together.

For a full league-registration refund, request cancellation at least 14 days before the league’s scheduled start date. Refund requests received fewer than 14 days before the start date are not eligible. Email info@GemCitySocialSports.com with your name and league to request a cancellation and refund.

Team shirts are required for gameplay. Have one? If you already own a Gem City Social Sports shirt in your team's color, you are good to go! Need one? You can purchase an official league shirt during registration or at the courts for $10.

🏐 Gameplay & Rules

We provide official set referees for every match. You don't have to worry about officiating your own games or dealing with disputes. Our staff is there to keep the game fair, safe, and moving quickly so you can focus on playing.

This is a Co-Ed league. Teams must have a minimum of 2 men and 2 women on the court at the start of every game.

Any comfortable athletic sneaker or gym shoe is fine. No cleats or shoes with marking soles are allowed on the court.

The league runs for 5 weeks on Thursday nights from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. We play a 'Best-of-5' format for matches, so teams get plenty of court time each night.

🎉 The Social Experience

It’s not mandatory, but it’s highly encouraged! The 'Social' in Gem City Social Sports is just as important as the 'Sports.' Most of our players head to The Diplomat Lounge after the games for exclusive drink specials and to hang out with the rest of the league.

Nope! There are no revenue quotas or tracking. Just show up, relax, and enjoy the community.
