The Rec League - heart shaped chocolate resting on the edge of a very old bookThis Rec League was suggested by Sarahwasme in the SBTB Podcast Patreon Discord:

I am so mad at US men’s hockey team I could spit. (Not really, I hate when dudes do that.) I want to buy all the sports romances featuring women’s team players and gift them to random people on the street. Maybe with a whistle.

Anyone have recs for romances featuring women’s league/national team? My first thought is FMC/Soccer player in Mariana Zapata’s Kulti – already planning on a reread.

JoVE in the podcast discord: Wake Up Nat and Darcy. ( A | BN | K | AB ) 2 former Olympians doing broadcast at the Olympics. 2nd chance. Forced proximity. It’s good.

Jfhobbit in the podcast discord: Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner features two professional soccer players who also play for the USWNT.

Josephine in the podcast discord: If Only You by Chloe Liese ( A | BN | K ) is a female soccer star and queer disaster of a man in a fake friends to lovers. Yes, he’s a hockey player, but Seb (and Ren, his captain and Ziggy’s brother) would never.

There’s a sapphic Cricket series ( A ) that’s not bad too. The first one is members of the Australian national team.

Amanda: We had an Olympics Rec League from 2024 that may have some recommendations.
