Team Philly Sports Week

FGG Member organization Team Philadelphia is proud to bring you SportsWeeks 2008 from June 1 thru 8. Our goal for SportsWeek during the past ten years has been to showcase Philadelphia gay sports teams so that gay and lesbian athletes in the area can see the many opportunities available to them.

The GLBT sports community in Philadelphia offers a healthy and friendly environment in which to participate and many of our area teams continue to represent Philadelphia in international and national level competitions in such sports as swimming, soccer, wrestling, and running, to name a few.

During the past three years, Team Philadelphia has been able to expand our SportsWeek event to include competition events that involve local area athletes as well as gay and lesbian athletes and their teams from up and down the East Coast. This year’s showcase competition is the ReGAYtta Tournament on Saturday, June 7th. This event is marked by our 1st LGBTQ dragon boat race in Philadelphia during the Independence Dragon Boat Regatta festival. Our boat will be represented by participants from Philadelphia's finest gay sports teams!

Team Philadelphia has been sponsoring this week long event leading up to Pride Weekend for many years and we are excited that many of our local sports teams return each year to participate in this event. So come on out and enjoy the Spring weather in Philadelphia and watch some fierce competition. And don't forget YOU CAN PARTICIPATE.
