We have the BEST LGBTQ+ Soccer Teams and Experience

"Gray Ducks has given me an amazing and supportive community of LGBTQ athletes like myself, as well as many allies, that make me feel welcomed, and help me grow as an athlete."

"Playing for the Gray Ducks in Paris and Las Vegas has helped me transition from being a closeted college athlete to an open LGBT athlete. I have made many friendships in a short time that I cherish. "

"Everybody on the teams I have played for are welcoming, interested in meeting you as an authentic person, and share your love for sport. For those that have never traveled to play in athletic competitions, try it out with the Gray Ducks. They will make sure you have a great sporting experience and an even better time off the field."

Home to more than 150 LGBT Soccer Players

Whether you are highly experienced in soccer, or you have some rust to shake off we have teams that fit your ambitions. You'd be on a team with like skilled players, however if you are new to soccer or do not have formal training or skills, you are invited to play in open soccer typically available in the outdoor season. Our competitive teams are extremely competitive, and our rec teams are intermediate level. You'll find our teams are welcoming, passionate and everyone enjoys winning too. Some teams are highly LGBTQ and some teams are less so, but all teams are inclusive and committed to our club ethos.

Our Story

The Gray Ducks are a highly inclusive adult soccer club based in the Minneapolis-St Paul area of Minnesota. The Gray Ducks are LGBT owned and operated, and this sub group creates a safe space for players to come together. We serve more than 100 LGBTQIA+ community members with year round soccer typically at the level they desire, on the day and format they desire too. LGBT persons have long been ostracized in sport and society, and continue to be. This group is exclusive to ensure privacy and dedication to our under served sporting community. 


Do you identify as straight? That's okay! We are inclusive of all genders and orientations, you just happen to be on our page that is dedicated to growing the game of soccer among gay persons in our community. Please join our main Facebook group or email us to get involved. However, if you do not promote equality for all persons, our club is not likely a fit for you. 


Gray Ducks Soccer efforts are the root to the North American Gay Soccer Association (NAGSA). They are also members of the IGLFA (International Gay and Lesbian Football Association). Gray Ducks Soccer teams partake in LGBT soccer tournaments nationally and internationally, as well as form teams locally to play in leagues year round. Our focus is on club soccer for LGBT individuals, in particularly those with prior playing experience. For those seeking to learn soccer, there are opportunities for you too through out the year, however for your safety and that of others, we would like to consult with you as to what playing opportunities are most suitable. Email ryan@grayduckssoccer.com to explore the right fit for you.

    Participant Testimonials

    " I have spoken with multiple teammates about my experiences playing collegiate soccer, following a head injury that limits my aerial abilities and also identifying as gay. Yet being a soccer player has always been a key component to my identity. Playing for the Gray Ducks has allowed me to continue playing quality soccer and traveling to tournaments, but now I get to compete whilst being open about who I am. I hope that the publicity of the Gray Ducks and the stories of its members shepherds in a new inclusive sports culture for all people, irrespective of their ethnicity, beliefs, disability status, sex, sexual orientation, and/or gender orientation." - Player Identifying as Gay


    "I think the thing that I want people to recognize (that maybe they don't always notice) about Ryan's work is how intentional he has been in creating the community and club we have. He goes out of his way to create expectations and policies that are clearly articulated, fair, and with inclusion in mind, which I think people often times don't recognize how important those small decisions are in the grand scheme of the club and its success as an inclusive community." - Player Identifying as Gay


    "I never thought I would have so many gay friends. I am also proud to say that and not be afraid of what others might think. Before joining (Maki United, TC Jacks) the Gray Ducks, I did not know much about the LGBT community. After years of playing I now have a better understanding of the culture and the hardships they face. I feel that as an Ally, it is my duty to stand and support my teammates and friends whenever I see discrimination on and off the field." - Player Identifying as an Ally
