Breakout League
About
Break Out League is an LGBTQ-owned and operated pool league based in Des Moines, built on a simple idea: everyone deserves a table, a cue, and a room where they belong. Pool has always been a bar game, and bars have always been where queer people found each other. We're formalizing that organized league play, real competition, and a standing weekly night that's ours. Whether you've been running racks for twenty years or you're still learning how to bridge, you have a place here. Founded in [2026], we're committed to keeping the game accessible. We work with local venues and sponsors to keep member costs low, because cost shouldn't be the reason someone misses out on community. Break Out League welcomes LGBTQ+ players and allies of all skill levels. Come break with us.
