OUT Sports League is a recreational sports league created to bring the LGBTQ+ community together in a supportive, social, and active environment — far beyond nightlife and dating apps. Operating primarily in the Orlando and Central Florida area, the league welcomes gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and allied players of all skill levels to compete, have fun, and make lasting connections.
What Is OUT Sports League?
Founded in the years after the Pulse tragedy, OUT Sports League (Orlando United Together) was created as a safe, inclusive alternative to bars and digital apps — giving LGBTQ+ people a place to meet, compete, and socialize in person through organized sports.
