The QCSL Board has been in constant communication with the City of Buffalo Division of Parks & Recreation and have been advised that no recreational athletics permit applications will be accepted until Western New York reaches Phase 4 of the state's reopening plan. Currently, Phase 4 is loosely scheduled for the first week of July, pending continued progress through Phases 1-3.
The decision to hold a shortened 2020 season will be determined after careful consideration for the health and welfare of our players, fans, sponsors, and the community as a whole. The QCSL Board will be virtually meeting soon to discuss and determine the fate of the 2020 season.
Please continue to follow guidelines set forth by the CDC, Erie County Department of Health, and the New York State Governor's Office. Above all else, stay safe, maintain social distance, and keep support our community! Should you have any questions, please contact us.

Under normal circumstances, this beautiful May morning would have been QCSL’s 2020 Opening Day, which is one of the year’s best days for our players, coaches, fans, and sponsors. While we are deeply saddened that we aren’t setting up diamonds, welcoming back our teams, and playing softball with our LGBT community & allies, we are encouraged by knowing that we will be back on those diamonds some day...it just won’t be today.
In the meantime, we direct our love and support to everyone affected by the virus and the frontline workers that are out there keeping us all safe. Thank you to all the nurses and doctors, grocery store workers, restaurant staff, and everyone else helping to keep some form of normalcy for all of us during these uncertain times.
Stay safe out there everyone keep following the standards set forth by our local governments. We love everyone in the QCSL community and can’t wait to see you all again.
❤️ 🌈 🥎 ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

As many of you already know, Gov. Cuomo has extended the social distancing guidelines until at least May 15th, 2020. With that, a typical season of QCSL play is unfeasible. However, we will look into other ways to take the fields if New York State lifts the current guidelines.
While we all love our League and are eager to once again renew friendships and rivalries, the Board will make decisions that protect our community as a whole. We all have a role to play in flattening the curve and as members of a larger community we need to make choices that are socially responsible.
Please, actively adhere to the guidelines. Stay safe and we will continue to update the League as more information becomes available. ... See MoreSee Less
