Registration is Open for our Fall 2025 Season!

The Fall 2025 Season will run each Wednesday evening from August 27 - November 19 (games start promptly at 7pm and 8pm) at the Eureka Valley Rec Center basketball court. Read the instructions below to register. The season lasts 13 weeks, including 10 weeks of regular season play + 3 weeks of playoffs.

 

Early bird registration (July 25 - August 8): $130
Late registration (August 9 - August 22, or until the roster is full): $140

The fee covers costs related to reserving the gym space, equipment, referees and timekeepers. Our goal is that SFGBA remains accessible for all LGBTQ and ally players in the Bay Area. If the cost is prohibitive for your being able to register, please reach out to us at leaders@sfgba.com and we're happy to work with you. No one will be denied a spot on the roster based on inability to pay.

How to Register:

1) Fill out this online form completely; don't forget to hit "Submit" at the end
2) Venmo the registration fee according to the schedule above to @SFGayBasketball (Your registration will NOT BE COMPLETE until we receive payment)
3) Read SFGBA's code of conduct and rules / regulations below on this page. Monitor your email for updates from SFGBA and messages from your captain

We encourage you to come to the Pre-Fall Season Social and Fundraiser at The Lookout in San Francisco on August 24 and our September 7 Skills Challenge and Open Gym if you’re new to basketball.

Avoid the waitlist: we've often received more registrations than available roster spots in recent seasons, so REGISTER EARLY. This page will be updated in the event that we have to activate the waitlist.

Email us at leaders@sfgba.com with any questions or if you need to arrange an alternative payment method.

SFGBA holds two seasons per year. The spring season typically begins in March with registration opening in January. The fall season typically begins in August with registration opening in July.
