Team DC: How long have you played the sport or participated in the activity of your Team DC member club?
Andres Bascumbe: One year.
TDC: When did you first start playing/participating?
AB: One year.
TDC: What advice do you offer LGBTQ+ youth who are interested in your sport or activity?
AB: Rugby is an inclusive sport. Out on the pitch, we’re all equals. And it’s a lot more fun to tackle and get tackled than you think.
TDC: What is your favorite part of being a member of an LGBTQ+ team?
AB: The diversity. The Scandals are by far the most racially and ethnically diverse team I’ve ever been a member of. I love that. I love that we can all come together and celebrate our differences.
