The city of Wilton Manors has proclaimed Oct. 13, 2026, as Rainbow Sports League Day, recognizing the LGBTQ+ sports organization for building community through recreational athletics. The proclamation coincides with LGBTQ+ History Month.
Based in Wilton Manors, the league offers beginner and advanced divisions in soccer, volleyball, dodgeball and pickleball. Players can compete, socialize and make connections throughout the week, regardless of skill level.
The league has grown significantly since Bill Doyle and Alex Plaza took over ownership nearly three years ago. It also partners with local organizations to raise tens of thousands of dollars for South Florida charities, including efforts supporting mental health services and homelessness programs.
League organizers said they were overwhelmed by the city’s recognition, calling the proclamation a meaningful acknowledgment of the community they have built. Residents interested in joining can find more information on the league’s website.
