The fall season is coming, and you know what that means… Stamford Kickball is coming back to Saturdays! But this season, Big League Sports is bringing more than just a return to Saturday kickball. In an effort to keep things fresh, diversify the fun, and make the league even more social, they're introducing some new rules for Fall Stamford Kickball!
If you played in our Tuesday Night Banana-inspired kickball league, this one might sound familiar! This fall, Stamford Kickball is adopting the “Win the Inning, Get the Point” rule. So what exactly does that mean?
Each inning (except the final inning) is worth one point.
Whichever team scores the most runs during that inning earns the point.
If both teams score the same number of runs, neither team earns a point for that inning.
In the final inning, the rule goes away. All runs scored in the final inning are simply added directly to the final score.
There’s also an inning-ending twist: if the home team, which kicks second, scores enough to go one run ahead of the away team during an inning, that half-inning ends immediately. Every inning matters. A big inning isn’t just about piling on runs - it’s about winning that inning and securing the point!
But if you ask me, the scoring isn't the biggest change coming this season. This fall, no more walks! Yes, strikes and fouls still apply, but if the pitcher throws a ball, the pitch simply doesn’t count and will be thrown again. That means no free passes to first. No waiting around for three balls. Just more kicking, more action, and more chances to make something happen.
The goal behind these changes is simple: keep Stamford Kickball fun, social, and exciting from the first pitch to the last kick. With almost every inning worth one point and no walks slowing things down, there will be more opportunities for comebacks, strategy, and - of course - a lot more fun.
So get your Saturday ready... Stamford Kickball is back, and Fall 2026 is going to look a little different!
