Gray Ducks Athletics

Founded in 2017, Gray Ducks Athletics, commonly called Gray Ducks Soccer, quickly became the largest adult soccer club in Minnesota serving more than 500 community members year round of all genders. We field more than teams in league play, tournaments locally through international, host social outings, promote the sport of soccer to the LGBTQ+ community, and advocate to other sporting organizations to advance LGBTQ+ equality and inclusion. We have a proud history working with Minnesota United FC on Pride activations. Participating in Gray Ducks activities is easy and open to LGBTQ+ adults, and straight identifying Allies! We manage soccer and volleyball teams year round, and are very open to adding more sporting teams and activities. It takes leaders and financial supporters to continue to drive making a difference.
