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!

Games this Sunday 6/13 are back to Mercer Park, so please be sure you come to the correct location.

Rise N Shine E Division teams! You get to play the 10:00am game for the first time this season. Both teams have a record of 2 wins & 2 losses - Sit On My Base won the first 2, but Pitches Be Crazy have won the last 2 in a row.

Then our 2 core D Division teams, Mayhem and The Good The Bat The Ugly, play each other back-to-back at 11:00am and 12:00noon.

• 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.

​​​​​​​

• Although the league play has started, we are always ready to welcome new players - so if you know anyone who would like to join, please have them register here through the website or just bring them along!

​​​​​​​

• 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.

Local Mask Mandate Lifted (May 18, 2021)

Mayor Bruce Teague has lifted the local mask mandate, but stresses that those who are not vaccinated from COVID-19 should continue to wear masks in public and adhere to social distancing recommendations. 

Lifting of the local mandate comes after the latest CDC guidance announcing that those vaccinated do not need to wear masks when out in public.

• 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.

See you Sunday at Mercer Park - The field will be available early for warm up at 9:00am and our first game begins at 10:00am, with additional games at 11:00 and 12:00.

This past Sunday was the half-way point of the Spring/Summer league, and the games were nothing short of spectacular! Weather forecast is a mirror image of this past Sunday - again, please be sure to bring plenty of water or sports drinks - stay hydrated, and spend time in the shade of the dugout or the pavilion when you are not on the field, wear your sun screen!

The Dirty Divas travel team will also have Ice-Cold water and sports drinks for sale at the park, as they are raising money to go play in the 2021 Gay Softball World Series at the end of August in Columbus, OH. For more info on the GSWS please visit:
