Stonewall Sports – Pittsburgh is an LGBTQ+ & Ally not-for-profit adult sports league. Our goal is to create an increasingly connected and diverse LGBTQ+ community by giving people additional spaces to meet, socialize, and give back — through organized competition and the social and fundraising events that surround it.
Our leagues are for everyone. Whether you haven’t played since middle school or you’ve been in adult leagues for years, you’ll enjoy what we’ve got to offer.
Our story
Stonewall Sports began with Kickball in Washington, DC in 2010. Over the following five years it expanded to nine cities, with several adding additional sports including Dodgeball, Darts, and Volleyball.
Pittsburgh started Stonewall Kickball in Fall 2014 with an inaugural season of 5 teams totaling 85 players. Stonewall Dodgeball – Pittsburgh began just a few months later in January 2015, with membership growing to 130 players on 8 teams. Kickball quickly returned for spring and fall seasons, both with upwards of 300 players.
As players and sports continued to grow, the Kickball and Dodgeball leadership teams consolidated their efforts under a single umbrella: Stonewall Sports – Pittsburgh. Individual sports keep their own commissioners for day-to-day operations while the Stonewall Sports leadership board handles long-term goals — finances, social activities, and community outreach. This structure gives every league the runway to grow while keeping the experience consistent across the whole organization.
