Play with Pride

This September, club, high school and college teams across the country can show their support for athletes and coaches of all sexual orientations and gender identities by wearing rainbow laces.

#PlayWithPride Week, sponsored by the United Soccer Coaches LGBT & Allies Advocacy Group, returns Sept. 16-22, 2019! Club teams, High School and College coaches, register your team early to ensure you get your rainbow laces (limited quantities available)!

New in 2019! Does your team have what it takes to be the “Proudest Program” of 2019? For the first time, the LGBT & Allies Coaches Advocacy Group is hosting the Proudest Program Contest. The winner will be selected from teams that tag us on social media and use #playwithpride. Be creative with your videos and photos and you might be selected as the Proudest Program of 2019! The chosen Proudest Program will be announced September 27th via social media and email and will receive a special recognition plaque from United Soccer Coaches.
