The UVA Law Invitational welcomes athletes of all gender identities. Our goal is to enable players to participate as their consistently asserted gender identity while providing a fair and safe environment for all players. In the Co-Rec League, once a roster has met the minimum requirement for the number of non-male identifying players on a team, the rest of the roster can be composed of players from any gender. Our rules honor the self-declared gender of all players and enable them to participate in a way that is consistent with their self-identity.
Co-Rec League teams that want to play with 10 players in the field must have a minimum of 4 non-male identifying players on the field. If playing with only 9 players, there must be a minimum of 3 non-male identifying players on the field.
Open League teams do not have any gender-based restrictions.
Alumni Teams: Alumni teams must register in the Open Division. Alumni rosters are not capped. Alumni teams may be composed of players from five groups: (1) alumni of the represented law school; (2) partners/spouses of those alumni; (3) alumni of other law schools; (4) current law students; and (5) legal professionals, such as paralegals and legal recruiters. Members of the latter three groups must be affiliated with the alumni players in some meaningful way (e.g., current colleagues).
