Four Officiators
One game Officiator covers each side of the court. A consistent uniform makes the officiating team identifiable.

14 players.
One club.
A proposed professional home for Gridball. Built around co-ed teams, complete players, and a shared standard of competition.
The first playtest is still in planning. This page explains the league model we’re developing, from the roster to the people who run a match.

The roster model
Two on the Grid.
Twelve ready next.
Each team has seven male-identifying and seven female-identifying players. Two teammates play on the Grid while twelve wait off-grid. Across both teams, that means four active players and twenty-four on the benches.
Prime, Major, Minor, and Entry are quadrants, not fixed player positions. When a player is eliminated, the relevant players advance and that team’s Next In player enters at Entry.
See rotation in actionThere is no gender requirement for the two players on the Grid or the Next In player; deployment is a coaching decision.

The identity of a club
One kit standard.
Distinct club identities.
Soccer-adjacent collared polos and shorts. A shared NGL structure with room for each club’s colors, crest, and culture.
Recognizable from any angle.
- Club first. Crest, chest stripe, waistband, and side accents carry the club’s identity.
- Players visible. A consistent name and number layout makes players easy to follow.
- League connected. The NGL sleeve mark ties every club to the same competition.
- Partners integrated. Defined sponsor zones keep the kit organized.
Club names, crests and sponsors shown are concepts, not confirmed clubs or partnerships.
A match takes
more than players.
The proposed match setup keeps the court, benches, and operations connected.
Two team benches
Twelve off-grid players per club. The Next In player waits in the team’s Next In Box beside Entry, ready to enter when a teammate is eliminated.
Match operations
Scoring, the clock, rotation tracking, and match records support the game. These roles sit alongside the four court Officiators.
