The Mabel League fosters a safe and fun environment for lesbians, bisexual women, queer people, trans people, and women allies to learn and play recreational softball. The Mabel League was established in Vancouver, BC, Canada in 1990.
Join The League
2024 Registration is open
The Mabel League is not like other leagues you may be familiar with who accept applications and fees and then assign you to a team. Our league is team based.
What does this mean?
- Teams submit rosters and registration fees to the League.
- It is up to teams to find their own players.
- Each year existing teams often need to add players to their rosters.
New Player Registration
Are you looking to join a team? If you send your information to the registrar using the form below it will be forwarded to all of the teams. Teams that are looking for players will contact you to set up a meeting/practice.
Important to know for 2024:
- Many teams are looking for pitchers! If you have pitching experience and interest, please be sure to indicate that in the form.
- Space is limited this year, but we do have a few teams recruiting players so please submit a form if you are interested in being recruited and/or joining the Mabel sub-list.
