CONTROL
Stonewall to Houston: All systems go. We've got launches, landings, and a few ongoing missions in the works.
Check out all things Stonewall below in our inaugural newsletter. A few mission critical things for you to keep in mind:
Pickleball Season 3: February 23rd – April 6th
Pickleball is back and bigger than ever! We can't wait to welcome our pickleballers back tomorrow for Season 3 of Stonewall Pickleball. We've got more players than last season, and you can bet it'll be even more fun.
Kickball Registration is OPEN
Houston, we have liftoff! And don't worry — it's on Earth, on actual fields, in Memorial Park. Spend your Saturday mornings with Stonewall and kick that community building into high gear. All skill levels welcome.
Captain a squad, join a team, or sign up as a free agent — mission: fun!
Register NowTrivia is Coming
We know you loved trivia, nerd. We know it's been a minute since our last season — our little rovers were off exploring other planets to bring trivia back, and better than ever! Keep an eye out for announcements coming soon.
Social Alert – March 4 (Ripcord)
Next social mission: March 4 at Ripcord. Mark your calendars — details dropping soon.
We're busy building partnerships and finding new ways for fun. Be on the lookout for more social opportunities all season long. Have an idea for some community building? Let us know!
Montrose Center Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Community Summit
At the Summit, we connected with community partners including Out at the Rodeo and the Montrose Center. These conversations weren't just check-ins. They're about how Stonewall Sports Houston can be a safe space outside the bars and a place to call home.
We're not just a league. We're a community.
DEI Spotlight — Black History Month
This month, we're featuring noteworthy Black leaders — including athletes. We started off honoring Marsha P. Johnson, a fearless Black transgender activist and LGBTQ+ trailblazer whose impact continues to shape the movement for equality, dignity, and liberation.
Her legacy lives in Pride, in protest, and in every space where marginalized voices are uplifted. As a league rooted in inclusion, we recognize that our community stands on the shoulders of leaders like Marsha. Keep your eye out for more posts from us.
Mission directive: Honor the past. Protect the present. Expand the future.
High Command Recruitment — Join the Mission
Ready to step into leadership? Mission Control is expanding. Open roles include:
Stonewall isn't just about playing sports. It's about building community, creating space, and showing up for one another on and off the field.
As we move into a busy spring season, we encourage everyone to plug in: join a team, volunteer, attend a social, or step into leadership. The strength of the community is the people in it. Your energy fuels this mission.
Houston, we DON'T have a problem.
We have momentum.
See you in orbit — or on the field.
