Our Lavender League stands as the flagship LGBTQIA+ focused league within Minnesota Dodgeball. We deeply understand the significance of establishing a dedicated space for the underrepresented LGBTQIA+ community within the realm of dodgeball. It is our steadfast commitment to cultivating an environment that not only acknowledges the unique experiences of this community but also actively strives to be a sanctuary of safety, inclusion, and celebration for all participants involved.
The creation of this league reflects our commitment to fostering diversity, ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and valued in the world of dodgeball. Through the Lavender League, we aim to contribute to the larger movement of promoting inclusivity and equality in sports, recognizing the importance of providing a platform where individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together, embrace their identities, and revel in the spirit of camaraderie and fair play.
Designed for players with dodgeball experience seeking a higher level of competition, the Advanced Draft Division offers a balanced, skill-driven environment. In a BYOT division, players must sign up with a team. For players without a team, we do have one team spot dedicated to 8 free agents. Please note—this roster will primarily consist of players still developing their skills, and the season may be more challenging as a result.
Teams must have a minimum of eight players, with no strict upper roster limit as long as it remains reasonable. Salary restrictions apply: each team may include no more than one player with a salary cap of 9 or 10, and up to three players from salary levels 7 and 8.
