Carmel neighborhoods compete all year — across seventeen sports, every generation on the field, all on public ground.
We build American neighborhoods that actually know each other — through year-round, multigenerational civic sport on public ground.
Volunteer hours and civic work are the largest share of every neighborhood's score.
Rosters field players 50+ and women at all times. Kids play too. No one sits the season out.
Size brackets and per-capita scoring let a 60-home street out-compete a 400-home development.
Every neighborhood designs a crest and earns points for showing up in kit, together.
The Cup runs eleven sports across four seasons in the year-round core slate. Four more — including Wiffle Ball — sit in Slate B as chapter-discretion additions. And six sports founded by and championed in 55+ communities form the Heritage Slate — anyone can play, but the founder communities hold the legacy.
The Cup isn't won in a single game. It's the sum of a neighborhood's entire year — service, turnout, who you put on the field, and yes, wins. The neighborhood that best lives the whole model takes it home.
Finals weekend in December is a spectator event: the whole chapter gathers, the season's points are tallied, and the Cup is lifted by the neighbors who earned it together.
Year 1 finishing positions seed three divisions for Year 2 — The Cup Tier, The Court Tier, and The Block Tier. Each division lifts its own trophy at Finals Night. At every year's end, the top of each lower division promotes up; the bottom of each higher division drops. Climb toward the Cup or fight to stay in it.
A neighborhood can't win the Cup on athletic talent alone. The largest share of every score comes from showing up for the community — park clean-ups, food drives, mentoring, building things that last.
Put your business on a neighborhood's jerseys, newsletter, and game days for a season. You become the name a whole neighborhood associates with supporting its own — and 100% of what you give stays with that neighborhood.
The Neighborhood Cup is built to be replicated. The playbook, the scoring engine, the brand system, and the operating model are all designed to drop into a new city with its own neighborhoods, its own chapter colors, and its own civic spirit.
Register your neighborhood, then sign up for the sports you'll play. It starts with one form.
