About:
Play with Pride is sponsored by United Soccer Coaches LGBT & Allies Advocacy Group in support of athletes and coaches of all sexual orientations and genders. We show our support by having our coaches and players wear rainbow laces during the week of September 16-22. We were able to register for free and get as many pairs of laces as we needed. All I had to do was donate $5 for shipping. I made it strictly voluntary and no one was forced to participate. A couple players went home and asked their parents if they could participate and I was able to get 100% participation on my varsity team! During the week, we take a picture before each game and post it on social media with #PlaywithPride. I’m not aware of any other groups supporting this cause in this manner.
