Statement of Support for the Trans Community

At Big Apple Recreational Sports, we believe in creating a welcoming, inclusive, and affirming space for everyone—on and off the field. We want to be unequivocally clear: we stand in full support of the trans community.

Our Women, Trans, and Non-Binary (WTNB) Division was created to embody this commitment to actively creating space for our Trans and Non-binary community members to thrive. Sports should be a space for joy, connection, and empowerment, not exclusion.

Big Apple Recreational Sports is proud to be a community where trans rights are human rights, and where inclusion isn’t just a value—it’s a promise. We encourage players to join the division (WTNB or Open) that aligns with their identity and where they feel most comfortable.
