At the Seattle Basketball Club (SBC), we believe that sport is more than competition — it’s community, connection, and collective joy. Founded with the mission of providing Seattle’s LGBTQIA+ community and its allies with a fun, inclusive, and well-organized recreational basketball experience, the SBC has grown into a vibrant hub where people of all identities come together to play, laugh, and belong.

The SBC isn’t just about what happens on the court. It’s about the friendships forged, the leadership cultivated, and the sense of safety and visibility that every player, ref, and volunteer brings. Our league actively affirms players of all identities and is a space where everyone is welcome, celebrated, and safe.

In a world that can feel increasingly hostile to LGBTQIA+ people, the SBC is a joyful, rebellious act of community care. Whether it’s cheering each other on from the sidelines, showing up for teammates beyond the court, or organizing events that bring players together, our league proves that Queer excellence thrives in every bounce, pass, and play.

We are proud to represent what it looks like when love, leadership, and basketball collide, and we’re always looking to grow our circle!
