• Leagues & Organizations

ABOUT LAMBDA BASKETBALLLambda Basketball was founded in 1990 by Mark Chambers, Martin Rodriguez, and Thorn Edwards to give Los Angeles County’s LGBTQ community and its allies a safe and inclusive place to play the game of basketball. Lambda Basketball originally started off as a place for our first travel teams to practice for national tournaments, but these practices later turned into regular and ongoing open gyms. Leagues were eventually organized as participation in open gyms grew. Today, Lambda Basketball organizes league play two times a year and open gyms twice a week, and sends multiple teams to tournaments organized by the National Gay Basketball Association and Federation of Gay Games.
