Pride Sports USA’s Easter Weekend National Tournament in San Diego — LGBTQ+ Kickball, Dodgeball, Pickleball, Sand Volleyball, Soccer, plus more — all under the California sun. Bring a team or come solo! Join 800+ players for a weekend of fun, friends, parties, and competitive games.
The California Classic is Pride Sports USA’s spring destination tournament — a full weekend of LGBTQ+ recreational sports in sunny San Diego over Easter weekend. Teams fly in from across the country to compete across five sports, soak up the California weather, and celebrate community on and off the field. From first-timers to seasoned competitors, there’s a division for everyone. 21+ and open to LGBTQ+ folks and allies alike.
Five sports, three days, every skill level. Every sport runs its own divisions — from first-timers to competitive.
The tournament staple. Big teams, big energy, everyone in the lineup.
All teams from all cities welcome — high cardio, lots of fun. Dodge, dip, dive, duck, and dodge.
The fastest-growing sport at the Classic. Doubles only — grab a partner.
Toes in the sand — divisions for every level of play.
New for 2027 — fast breaks, big goals, and a spot for everyone on the pitch.
Tell us what you’d play and we’ll size up the interest for 2027 and beyond.
