Our commitment to an inclusive volleyball community
BSD emphasizes an inclusive and diverse community dedicated to welcoming participants regardless of background, gender identity, or gender expression.
The organization explicitly states: people may identify outside of traditional gender norms and affirms that no one should be excluded or disadvantaged based on their gender identity or expression.
A key principle addresses fairness: gender identity should not be exploited or manipulated for a competitive advantage. The league aims to balance inclusion with competitive play, noting that volleyball is fun when all are included and play is competitive.
Rather than claiming perfection, BSD acknowledges the complexity of these issues and commits to continuous improvement, welcoming participant feedback to evolve their practices over time.
The league invites members to participate in shaping policies by contacting League Directors directly.
