Rainbow Hoops Basketball League is meant to create a queer-positive environment and it allows players of all levels of experience to enjoy the game of basketball. We welcome all queer women, queer-positive women, and trans people. Keeping league play a positive experience for everyone is why the league is so successful. Our hope is to make all players feel welcomed while promoting equity, fair play, and most all…..Fun!
The league began in 1996 as a pick up game on a word of mouth basis and quickly grew to 4 teams. Now with 7 teams per season, we place over 105 players each year on teams designed to be competitive against one another, and balance experienced and less experienced players to work in tandem. From ex-university players to absolute novices, we encourage all women and trans people to participate, learn the game or hone their skills.
