Chicago Metropolitan Sports Association

If I could review this as a zero, I would. The only reason that CMSA is successful at all is because it’s the ONLY sports outlet for popular lesbian sports (did anyone say Softball? Flag Football?). The league managers on the women’s side are completely unresponsive. Do you have any problems? Did you register as a free agent in order to meet other people? Don’t bother trying to get ahold of anyone who’s ‘running’ the league. If you do hear from them the response will rude and unprofessional.
The fees behind the leagues are completely unclear. First you have to pay a membership fee. Then you need to pay an individual league fee. Lastly, there’s a team fee. Most sports organizations (that are social but NOT lgbtq oriented) only charge you an individual fee OR a team fee, not both.
I will say that the men’s side seems to be more responsive (when I’ve played co-​ed it’s typically a guy running it).
If there were other options (which there IS another LGBTQ league, they’re just not as big), I would go somewhere else in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, CMSA is the only LGBTQ choice for the majority of the sports, so I’ll keep playing. That’s probably the reason CMSA is willing to treat it’s members so poorly.

CMSA provides a great experience for the GLBT community to play sports in an accepting enviroment.
They offer softball, badmitton, volleyball, kickball and many other sports. Each sport has multiple skill levels from very beginner to extremely competetive.
CMSA also sponsors tournaments in their sports that attract people nationwide as well as over seas to come and compete. Chicago will be the host town for the 2009 NAGVA Volleyball National Chamoinships.
