“Create the things you wish existed”

It’s been 2 years since we had our first session @glasgaroos 🌈🏀

Not a Valentine’s Day person but basketball’s my first love. Thanks @LEAPsports @Angharad___ @CofGCollege for helping make my wish a reality.

Bowling #FlashbackFriday!
When the tournaments started in 2013, we hosted 1 Community Cup for LGBTIQ+ sports clubs in the West.
Fast Forward to 2020, we hosted the West, East and North Community Cups. It was fantastic seeing so many involved! We can’t wait to have you all back!

We’ve bought some basketball to give to our regular players so they can keep practising during lockdown 🏀🏳️‍🌈 (Ft. A very intrigued Labrador’s foot)

We still aren’t sure when we will be able to get back to practise but we will keep everyone updated as soon as we have info!
