NY Ramblers

The NY Ramblers is the very first organized openly gay soccer club, formed in 1980. The Ramblers provided a space for gay men, who enjoyed the sport, to meet and socialize outside of the traditional settings of bars and clubs.

The Ramblers have traveled the country and globe participating in various soccer tournaments, from the Philadelphia Pumpkin Patch and Provincetown Classic to the Munich Oktoberfest Tournament and many IGLFA World Championships and Gay Games held throughout the world...and not to forget its own annual New York Indoor Classic held every winter. We have weekly practices throughout the year and participate in outdoor and indoor leagues in the New York metropolitan area. In addition to a very full year of soccer activities, the Ramblers meet for social events. Bowling, movies, theater, house parties and our yearly Annual Awards Dinner, where we honor and congratulate all team members for their skills, dedication and commitment to keep the Ramblers thriving for yet another year.

The New York Ramblers Soccer Club is a non-profit, membership-based organization. Your yearly dues enable the club to provide training, equipment, team events and so much more. The membership year runs from January 1 to December 31. It is club policy that only paid members can participate in Ramblers tournaments and leagues.
