Contact me about: If you have any questions about dodgeball rules, want to get connected to other Stonewall dodgeball players to form a team, or want to know about the other Philadelphia dodgeball leagues.
What have you gotten out of Stonewall?: It gave me a love for playing sports again. Growing up I didn't realize that I had an aversion for sports teams not because I didn't like playing sports, but because I didn't really fit in and that made being in those spaces uncomfortable. I think anyone who joins a Stonewall sport will find that there is someone welcoming who doesn't care if you can't throw a ball, or will coach you if you genuinely want to do better.

What have you gotten out of Stonewall? Stonewall has given me so much more than one would expect from an adult rec sports league. I joined somewhat reluctantly, as I was not yet completely out, for a remix season with a friend. During my first season I met so many great people, formed close friendships, and even met my now roommates.

Why did you join Stonewall? I joined Stonewall because I didn't really have friends in the LGBTQ+ community once I moved back to Philly from North Carolina.

Plus, I'm really competitive and love sports!
