The STL Bucket List Show

Team St. Louis — Building LGBTQ+ Community Through Sports

Lucas & Marissa Farrell Episode 201

On this week's episode of The STL Bucket List Show, Luke sits down with Justin Mincher (President) and Tyson Cameron (Vice President) from Team St. Louis, a local organization building an inclusive community for LGBTQ+ people and allies through sports, social events, and healthy lifestyle programming.

From volleyball leagues that are at-capacity to pickleball socials that welcome total beginners, Team St. Louis is creating a true “third space” where people can move, meet friends, and feel like they belong.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What Team St. Louis is, how it started, and why sports build community differently than typical rec leagues
  • Pickleball + volleyball programs, divisions for all skill levels, and how they help newcomers find a team
  • Why “third spaces” matter, and how they’re expanding beyond bar-centered social scenes
  • Upcoming highlights like the Team St. Louis float trip and new ideas like a hiking club
  • Their long-term vision, including building a future facility to support even more programming
