While our RoughRiders had some good moments today, the games didn’t fall our way. Nice to finally get back out on the field, play some ball, shake off the rust, and debut our new hats, sponsored by Slammers!

Also great to get a group together to stop by Slammers post game for some cold beers and pizza. Love to have their continued support of this scrappy LGBTQ+ softball team! Back at it next week!

Catch the Slammers Rough Riders today at 10 and Noon for our Columbus Le***an and Gay Softball Association (CLGSA) Opening Day games! Busch Sports Park Field 1. If you can’t make it to the games, pop by our incredible sponsor, Slammers, after the games.

Happy Opening Day! Let’s Ride!

Hope springs eternal. Happy Opening Day, Columbus Le***an and Gay Softball Association (CLGSA)!

There are countless words in the English language, but maybe none as simple and perfect as “Play Ball!”

Happy Opening Day, Columbus!

Opening Ceremonies begin at 9:15. First games at 10. Sunday Funday at our sponsors after the final outs are made. Good luck to all of our teams and thanks to all of our sponsors, the City and umpires who make this league possible.

New year, new vibe. The Backdoor Sliders are now the Slammers Rough Riders! We’re ready to ride! 😤🤠

The Backdoor Sliders are back for 2024! If you're an LGBTQ+ or ally athlete looking to play competitive ball and have fun on Sundays, the Sliders could be the right team for you. Slide into our DMs if you're interested in playing with us or want to know more about the Columbus Le***an and Gay Softball Association (CLGSA).

Additionally, if you're a small business owner or someone looking to support our team and this incredible league, we're looking for a few additional sponsors to help offset some of our costs this season. Reach out if you're interested.

Congrats to our league-mates on the hard fought wins!

Backdoor Sliders got our games in before the rain Sunday, going 1-1 on the day with a lot of positive moments to build on as the season progresses. Another shout out to one of our sponsors, Slammers! If you haven’t been, go this week for Pride! The Sliders have this next week off for Pride, but are back at it Sunday, June 25.
