Our Lavender League centers LGBTQ+ players and creates a space intentionally structured around queer community and culture. This league is designed to prioritize LGBTQIA+ participants and those who actively support and align with queer community values.
As the flagship LGBTQIA+-focused league within Minnesota Dodgeball, Lavender reflects our commitment to fostering an affirming, community-centered environment. We recognize the importance of dedicated spaces where LGBTQIA+ players can feel supported, represented, and celebrated within the sport.
Lavender League exists to cultivate connection, safety, inclusion, and joy. We strive to create an atmosphere where participants feel seen, heard, and valued — both as athletes and as individuals. All participants are expected to uphold community standards rooted in respect, inclusivity, and accountability. Minnesota Dodgeball reserves the right to remove any participant whose behavior is inconsistent with the values and culture of this league.
Through Lavender League, we aim to contribute to the broader movement toward greater inclusivity and equity in sports, creating space for camaraderie, competition, and community to thrive.
Format Definitions

Teams may have up to 10 players on the roster and max of 8 on the court. However, depending on the number of registrations, the format may be adjusted. This flexibility enables us to cater to varying team sizes based on demand. Our goal is to ensure an equitable distribution to the best of our ability.
