Yeah, at least in Philly. I contacted the company that does basically every rec league in the city, asking for advice as someone who’s athletic and enthusiastic, but gym-class-acceptable at best (I was a swimmer, so team sports have always been foreign to me). They steered me to a basketball league that was extremely competitive, and kinda rude. After watching the earlier teams play as impressively the team I watched in college, I walked out when nobody would acknowledge that I existed. There’s also an LGBTQ rec league in town for kickball & volleyball, but it’s pretty much exclusively the domain of white gay men (but that’s an entire thread on its own).
