The Kickball STL Ultra Division is a collection of highest caliber teams from the Bi-State area. Kickball STL divisional winners, along with Bi-State champions, travel from all corners of the St. Louis metro area to compete in the Ultra Division. It's the best of the best, and second to none.
The Ultra Division is unlike any other Kickball division offered in the bi-state area. League fees for the Ultra division includes 12 games (9 innings), 2 umpires, and also a high grade dryfit-mesh polyester soccer jersey which is featured above. Ultra Division champions are rewarded with commemorative championship t-shirts and trophies for each player. More importantly, the top teams from each session are invited to play in the "Ultra Invitational" which is an annual tournament which features the top 8 ultra teams from the previous 3 sessions. The grand prize of the "Ultra Invitational" is an all expenses paid trip for 14 players to the Missouri Show Me Games in Columbia. That's right, the crowned champion of the Ultra Invitational will then compete for the honors of "Best Team in Missouri". The all expenses paid trip includes hotel rooms, tournament fees, and even a $500 food credit. ($1,500.00 max value)
Admission Into The Ultra Division
Admission to the Ultra Division is heavily scrutinized, and is generally only possible through competing in the bi-state tournament. (some exceptions may be applicable)
Invitation: Teams that finish in the "Elite 8" of the Bi-State tournament will be invited to participate in the Ultra Division the following session. Depending on competition level, divisional winners may also qualify for ULTRA admission. This is handled on a case by case basis, and is an "option of last resort" in terms of filling open ULTRA spots.
Application Process: Teams from previous years that have finished in the "Elite 8" of the Bi-State tournament, as well as divisional winners, are welcome to apply for Ultra Division admission. Email brian@kickballstl.net the number of sessions that you've played, the number of division titles your team holds, and also how you placed in the bi state tournament. (All claims must be verified by Kickball STL before admission is granted)
Remaining In The Ultra Division: To remain in the Ultra Division, teams must sustain a winning percentage of at least .500. Any team that falls below this mark will be asked to hone their skills in a competitive division before returning to the Ultra Division. Although strict, it is this policy that upholds the competitive integrity of the Ultra Division.
Ultra Division Fees
$70.00 per player for new teams that need an Ultra Jersey.
$55.00 for returning teams that have an Ultra Jersey.
(Price includes a dry-fit mesh polyester soccer jersey, 2 umpires per game, trophies & commemorative shirts for every player on the championship team, and a chance to win in an all expenses paid trip to the annual Show Me Games Kickball tournament in Columbia MO.)
Ultra Rules & Policies
Due to the variance in rules between Kickball STL's divisions, and the Missouri Show Me State Games, a rule modification is necessary. Therefore, the Ultra Division requires an even number of male and female players; with 12 being the minimum, no maximum. (because the ultra division only requires 12 paid players, the captain is required to pay) Defensively, teams must field 5 females and 5 males at all times. Lastly, males and females must alternate in the batting line-up. From a registration stand-point, those are the most pertinent rules to take into consideration.
