The list includes Balls of Fury, Geeks, Aim Low, Roc It, Lay Low, Give-a-Hoot, Just-do-It, Alpha Q, G-Sparks, IDK, Teachers, and Dream Team.
Six games were played in Week 1 with Teachers recording the most impressive debut win after whipping Geeks, 40-7. Also breaking into the win column in their first attempt were Dream Team, Aim Low, G-Sparks, Give-a-Hoot, and Alpha Q.

Saipan Rocball creator James Feger said 52 aces, 27 kees, 10 xunks, one jam, and six goals were made in Week 1. Dream Team’s Daniel Agulto and Roc It’s Ben Olopai nailed four aces each in their season debuts, while Give-a-Hoot’s Damart Teregeyo drilled two xunks. The lone and first jam in the season came from Icemwar Somorang of Lay Low.
