LSA is eastern Iowa’s premier LGBTQ+ Softball League and was founded in April 2018. LSA is a non-profit 501(c)3 and is committed to providing opportunity and a safe space where both LGBT and Non-LGBT participants can compete in an environment welcoming and open to the LGBTQ+ community. Participants must be 18+ and pay league fees for each season. Games are played Sunday Mornings from 10:00am-1:00pm at either the Hawkeye Softball Complex or Mercer Park in Iowa City. We have 2 seasons (Spring/Summer and Fall) that run from late April to late October. If you would like to join please come out to one of our Recruitment & Skills Days!

See you at the ball field!

This Sunday 10/24 - Week 6 - Games are Cancelled

Come bowling with us - details below.

It seems Mother Nature has made the decision that Fall Softball should come to an end.

But we would still love to see everyone tomorrow so please join us for some bowling tomorrow instead!

Open bowling and everyone is welcome, whether an LSA member or not -  so bring family and friends if you would like!

Now we can still throw some balls and get some strikes – except strikes will be a good thing here.

Even if you don’t bowl, come watch some Football and have a few bevs. with us. Here is a link to the event on Facebook:

We cannot wait to see everyone Sunday!

Our core mission is providing our members a fun atmosphere and a safe space where both LGBT and Non-LGBT participants can compete in an environment welcoming and open to the LGBTQ+ community. LSA will continue to be a safe space for everyone and be a shining example of #nohate.
Along with Fun and Inclusion, Safety is always a top priority. Therefore we still respect everyone's personal choice to wear a mask and socially distance. Of course washing our hands frequently should be something that never loses it's cool.

• We encourage anyone not yet vaccinated to wear their mask as much as possible, and we accept the personal choice of anyone who wishes to continue wearing their mask.
• We also encourage you to bring your bag chairs and lawn blankets so you may observe social distancing before and after your game, and as you stay to watch and cheer for our friends on the other LSA teams.

If you have not yet downloaded the SportsEngine app, we would highly recommend it. You can see everything there including schedule, scores, your team's roster, etc. There is also a feature that allows your team coach to post messages and send messages to everyone on the roster.
