Sitting in the #ClubSpotlight hot seat this week is @glasgaroos! 🏀✨ The Glasgaroos is an LGBTIQ+ basketball group that is fun, friendly and puts inclusion at the forefront. They are a diverse group that train and play as mixed gender. ⛹️ #LGBTHistoryMonth #LGBTHM21

A massive thank you to @CofGCollege @SportADCOGC1 @LEAPsports @basketballscot and @TinaGordon123 for all your support over the past 2 years. Thank you to everyone who comes along every week to play, we wouldn’t be here without you!! 🌈🌈

Here is a picture from our 1 year anniversary session/party 🥳🏀 We miss training soooooo much and look forward to being back again eventually!

Today marks 2 years exactly since our very first session 🌈 🏀 This picture is with Bill, Zy and Angharad our 3 founders and our first member Andrew!

“Create the things you wish existed” It’s been 2 years since we had our first session @glasgaroos 🌈🏀 Not a Valentine’s Day person but basketball’s my first love. Thanks @LEAPsports @Angharad___ @CofGCollege for helping make my wish a reality. #LGBTHistoryMonth 

Bowling #FlashbackFriday! When the tournaments started in 2013, we hosted 1 Community Cup for LGBTIQ+ sports clubs in the West. Fast Forward to 2020, we hosted the West, East and North Community Cups. It was fantastic seeing so many involved! We can’t wait to have you all back!

It’s #RainbowLaces & every day over the next couple of weeks we’ll be giving a shout-out to an #LGBT+ sport or physical activity group. Today we tip off with the fabulous @glasgaroos

@SportADCOGC1 We definitely miss our home at the college - looking forward to being back!

@glasgaroos Well done all. Great to see that you are still playing and adhering to the guidance. Hope to see you back on campus soon.

Rainbow Glasgaroos were back tonight for the first time since lockdown! We tried to social distance as best we could, sanitised hands and b-balls. It was so good to see familiar faces again 😍🤩

Rainbow Glasgaroos have some great news!! We will be starting outdoor training sessions from the 3rd of September at our usual time of 7pm. We will be following as many safety precautions as we can. If you want to join us please message us for more details 🥳🤩

We’ve been doing basketball deliveries today! 🏀🏳️‍🌈 It’s been so nice to see some of our fabulous team mates again

😍😍😍😍

We’ve bought some basketball to give to our regular players so they can keep practising during lockdown 🏀🏳️‍🌈 (Ft. A very intrigued Labrador’s foot) We still aren’t sure when we will be able to get back to practise but we will keep everyone updated as soon as we have info!
