The Big Apple Softball League is NYC's ONLY LGBTQ+ Softball League since 1977. We were founded to provide a league open and inclusive to all regardless of race, religion, age, gender expression or sexual orientation. We play a Spring and a Fall Season. Come Play!

Fall Ball 2022 Registration is now CLOSED!

Join us for Fall Ball 2022! Fall Ball starts September 10 and runs through early November. 

FALL BALL is now full, but you can add yourself to the wait list. 

Not sure which division you'd like to join?

WOMEN+ division is open to cis-women, trans men and women, and non-binary folks who prefer a space where participants are not cis-men.

OPEN division is open to anyone. Both have subdivisions where skill levels vary from “experienced” to “never played.”

This year we will have six teams in OPEN and eight teams in WOMEN+.

Why Join Big Apple Softball League?

BASL plays double-header slowpitch softball games on Saturdays & Sundays in a Spring/Summer Season. We aren't just about softball! We host numerous parties and events throughout the year including an Opening Party, End of Season Awards Ceremony, our annual HoliGay Party and monthly league wide socials. Our teams also host happy hours and fundraisers.

Playing with the BASL is a great way to get involved in the LGBTQ+ Community both on and off the field.
