🥎 PLAY Pride Softball is marking its 5th year bringing welcoming play to the community! 🎉
The idea for PLAY Pride came from a founder of Blue Ridge Pride Sports and developed in partnership with the Roanoke Diversity Center in early 2022. The first softball league began that fall and PLAY Pride later expanded to include kickball.
PLAY Pride leagues are designed to offer a safe, fun community for LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies. With PLAY Pride, the focus is not competition, but community building and the love of the game. They're a great way to meet new folks and enjoy the sport in a supportive environment.
Unlike more traditional athletic leagues, with PLAY Pride you don't need an existing team to participate. Register as an individual and teams will be assigned at random. It's $30 to sign up if it's your first time playing, or $15 if you've participated in PLAY Pride before and still have your shirt! 👕 Games will be played on Sunday mornings, September 6 through mid to late October.
Registration is open now and closes on August 31!
