Who We Are

The PHOENIX HELLRAISERS are a group of men and women who enjoy the game of football in all aspects: watching, cheering, and playing. Our focus is to provide a positive, social, welcoming environment through the team characteristic inherent to football while capturing the athletic and competitive nature of flag football.

As a predominantly gay and lesbian organization, we seek to promote self-respect within its members and mutual respect and understanding within the team, the league, and the general community. To achieve these goals, we believe it is a fundamental principle to be open and inclusive in all activities, social and competitive.  No person shall be excluded on the basis of race, national origin, age, gender, religion, political affiliation, marital status, health, sexual orientation, gender identity, or athletic ability.

Every year, the PHOENIX HELLRAISERS participate in local league play and national tournaments. Please check the Schedule & Events page for current happenings.

We Want You!

Whether you're looking for a new social outlet, a chance to rekindle your competitive spirit, or simply want to be involved in something worthwhile, the PHOENIX HELLRAISERS are for you.

We welcome everybody and all levels of play. Our players range from people who have never played before to players who played through high school and collegiate level. Skill levels will vary by player, but most importantly we all have fun! Remember to bring a friend and you can have fun together!
