Our Values
​
RESPECT
Respect is where it begins, for ourselves, for out teammates, for our opponents, and for our community. It means recognising the dignity of ever person, celebrating diversity, and creating spaces free from disrimination and harm. Respect is shown not only on the court, but in how we speak, listen and lift each other up.
​
FRIENDSHIP
From the first Spectres team to every club that followed, friendship has always been our bond. Through basketball, we find connection, across cities, generations, and identities. These friendships trancend competiton; they become families of choice, offering the acceptance and support many were once denied.
 
COMMUNITY
The Spectres have always been community built and community driven. We play for something bigger than ourselves, to represent those who were once invisible, to mentor those who come after us, and to make sport a place where every LGBTQIA+ perosn feels seen and safe. Our Community is our strength, diverse, proud, and united by purpose.
​
UNITY
Respect, Freindship, and Community naturally lead to Unity, the value that defines our future years. Unity means one brand, one vision, and one shared responsibility to protect and grow what we've built together. It means standing together, across club, states, and gnerations, to ensure that Pride basketball continues to thrive, inspire, and empower all in our communites.
​
LIVING OUR VALUES
Every time we step onto a court wearing the Spectres logo, we carry these values with us. They remind us that we do not just play the game, we change it. Through Respect, Friendship, Community, and Unity, we continue to light the way for the next generation of LGBTQIA+ basketballers.
