Tim sits down with Noah Pontiff, owner of Overtime Sports, to talk about building community in Bozeman through adult social sports. From volleyball to kickball to skee-ball and more, Overtime Sports has become a hub for connection and fun, breaking up the work week with activities that bring people together.
Finding Your Team in Bozeman
Overtime Sports isn’t just about competition. It’s about creating a space where people of all skill levels can connect. Noah shares how the leagues work, from individuals looking to join a team, to coworkers signing up together, to groups of friends forming their own squads. Volleyball, dodgeball, and kickball all make the list, with indoor space now expanding opportunities through the winter.
“It’s just another place to find your community within your community.” – Noah Pontiff
From Louisiana to Montana
Noah grew up in Louisiana, surrounded by food and festival culture. After moving to Montana, he discovered the importance of building community through sports. His first step was joining a kickball team, which eventually led him to take over Overtime Sports. What started as a way to meet people has become a full-time commitment to helping others find belonging in Bozeman.
Crawfish, Community, and Culture
Every June, Noah brings a piece of Louisiana north with his annual crawfish boil. What started as a small gathering with a few friends has grown into an event with hundreds of people. It’s another way he shares his roots and helps others connect.
The Bigger Picture
Noah reflects on how finding your group—whether through sports, food, or shared hobbies—transforms the experience of living in Montana. In a place where winters can feel long and isolating, Overtime Sports offers an antidote: community, fun, and friendship.
