The Big Apple Softball League is NYC's ONLY LGBTQIA+ 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!
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 LGBTQIA+ Community both on and off the field.
Spring is almost here and we can't wait to get back on the field again! Our 2025 recruitments days will be held Saturday, March 22nd and March 29th at Randall's Island. More info coming soon.
