Sydney Outfielders is a community-run, volunteer-based LGBTQIA+ softball league based in Sydney. For over 40 years, we have provided a safe, inclusive and welcoming space for LGBTQIA+ people and allies of all genders and abilities to play softball, build friendships, and be active.

Our league plays a vital role in supporting health and wellbeing for LGBTQIA+ people — a group that still faces significant barriers to sport participation. We actively maintain gender balance across all teams and welcome players of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced athletes.

This Pride Month and beyond, we are running a series of community-building events — including our Pride Open Day and Drag Bingo Fundraiser — to help raise essential funds to support the league’s future.

Funds raised will directly support:

• The purchase of new equipment (bats, balls, bases, safety gear)
• Keeping membership fees low to ensure financial accessibility
• Subsidising participation for members experiencing hardship
• Supporting our league’s representation at Sydney Mardi Gras 2026 — showcasing LGBTQIA+ inclusion in sport on a national stage

As a proudly not-for-profit community league, we rely on donations and volunteer efforts to continue providing an inclusive space where LGBTQIA+ players feel safe and supported.

Your contribution will help us to foster participation, connection, and wellbeing through sport — and ensure that softball continues to be a space where everyone is welcome.

Thank you for your support. 🏳️‍🌈🥎
