Baseball (Women)
Sydney Women's
Baseball League

Women of all ages and skills come along every Sunday in winter to have a swing, get their eye in and test out their arm. Whilst we have many competitive players who will give you a good run for your money, some of our members are new to the sport, perhaps having only ever played softball or cricket.

Our players are a diverse group from a range of backgrounds and experiences. Although we are based at Moore Park, near The Entertainment Quarter, women have been known to travel from all corners of the greater Sydney region to join us - spanning the Northern Beaches, the west, the Shire and the Hills.

Also, if you are injured or have just put your cleats out to pasture, the League is always looking for coaches and umpires to help out the League.

Rugby

Sydney Convicts
 

The Sydney Convicts was formed with two broad goals in mind -

1. To provide a forum for gay men to play competitive rugby in an accepting and supportive environment, and

2. To represent Sydney in the local rugby competition, and in tours and tournaments in Australia and abroad.

The unofficial goals of the Convicts are to present an alternative image of gay men to both the mainstream and the gay community, and make football accessible to those who would otherwise be discouraged from playing rugby by perceived prejudice in the mainstream football community.

Soccer (Women)
The Flying Bats

In 2010, The Flying Bats are celebrating their 25-year anniversary as Sydney's premier lesbian football club. The club was formed by a group of women wanting to provide Sydney's sporty lesbian masses a safe and supportive environment in which to play football. Since then, they have grown to become the world's largest lesbian football club - although they are not exclusively lesbian and welcome any and all women to join their ranks.

While football is what brings the Bats (a not-for-profit, amateur football club with a non-political agenda) together, it serves as a launching pad for so much more. From social nights to weekends away, participation in Sydney's GLBT events and many other social pursuits (many of which involve the pub), the Bats is more than just a sport - it's a community.
