GETTING TO KNOW
MEMPHIS & THE BCSA
MEMPHIS, TN — The 2025 NAGAAA Cup will take place in Memphis, Tennessee April 25-27 and the hometown queer softball community known as Bluff City Sports Association (BCSA) is ready for the approximately 45 teams and nearly 1,000 players, fans and organizers who will be participating.
But you might be wondering, how did a queer softball community pop up in Memphis, only the second largest city in a state that isn’t exactly known for lovingly embracing our community, and why is it hosting the NAGAAA Cup?

MINNEAPOLIS & TCGSL
The Twin Cities Goodtime Softball League (TCGSL) officially started in January of 1980 with four teams. Three months later they became the seventh official member of an upstart North American softball movement called NAGAAA. In the 45 years since then, all they’ve done is host the Gay Softball World Series twice, and grow to be the largest queer softball league in North America and, probably, the world.
Chris Overlie is the commissioner of the TCGSL and he’s in his 5th year in the role. According to him, the league has 60 teams and over 1000 players playing in the Spring 2025 season. That’s up from just 35 teams at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
