General Information:
Metro Nashville Softball Association (MNSA) is composed primarily of men and women who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender (“LGBT”). Our league includes non-LGBT members as well. Games are played on Sundays at Cedar Hill Park in Madison, TN. All players/coaches must be at least 18 years of age.
There are six levels of play in MNSA:
- B Division, for those that exhibit advanced skills and knowledge of the game.
- C Division, for those demonstrating good solid skills and knowledge of the game.
- D Division provides those new to the game a competitive and challenging atmosphere.
- E Division, for new players or players with lower skills.
- Masters C Division, for C-rated players fifty years of age or greater
- Masters D Division, for D-rated players fifty years of age or greater
From its initial beginnings, the league was formed to harbor a safe outdoor environment to meet and socialize with friends with special emphasis on members of the LGBT community.
Being associated with the North America Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAAA) affords the league the opportunity to compete on a national, and international level with other slow-pitch softball leagues across the country and around the world. At different times of the year invitational tournaments are organized in major cities nationwide, and once a year, a World Series is scheduled in a selected host city.
