Queer Sporting Alliance (QSA) is Australia and NZ's largest LGBTIQA+ sporting club. QSA's mission is to ensure LGBTIQA+ folk can access and participate in community sport.
We have teams playing in:
Kaurna/Adelaide
Naarm/Melbourne
Mianjin/Brisbane
Gadigal/Sydney
Nipaluna/Hobart
Garramila/Darwin and NZ.
QSA President and founder Stella Lesic grew up playing community sport in Naarm. Having experienced life as a closeted youth basketballer, they were driven to build safe spaces for everyone to 'Come Out & Play'.
The club began in 2015 in Naarm as Bushrangers Basketball and moved to their new club name QSA in 2021.
QSA pride themselves on creating safe spaces for LGBTIQA+ folk and their allies to play community sport. They are seeking to generate interest in all players in the LGBTIQA+ community (and allies) who are disengaged from sporting activity or looking for a safe space to play sport. They have a strong focus on supporting the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse players.
QSA are official diversity partners of Transgender Victoria and WNBL powerhouse Southside Flyers!
