Important Information for Rookies:

About Us:

Pride Basketball League New York City (PBLNYC) provides a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for members of the LGBTQ+ community and our friends to play basketball and build camaraderie.  

We are New York's first official LGBTQ+ basketball league. Since the men's+ division was founded in 2006 and  the women's+ division was founded in 2008, we've maintained and grown an athletic environment that centers the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer+ community.

We strive to promote inclusivity in our community and continue to fight to eliminate any negative stereotypes associated with LGBTQ+ athletics.

Most importantly the league is a fun way to meet other members of the community!

We have three divisions -- advanced (A), intermediate (B), and recreational (C). There's a place for every player in our league!
