For the second-straight year, America East men's and women's basketball teams will host 18 You Can Play Nights. Every America East basketball program will host a You Can Play night in the coming weeks with the purpose of furthering awareness and education to help ensure equality, respect and safety for all athletes without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity.

This is the second year the America East will host You Can Play Nights. Each home team will wear special America East branded You Can Play shooting shirts prior to their You Can Play Night game. Additionally, the nights will include fan outreach, public address announcements, You Can Plays video produced by the school’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee playing in arenas with video boards and more.

America East became NCAA Division I conference to partner with You Can Play in December of 2012. Since then, the conference has helped further You Can Play’s mission by sponsoring a speaker series and locker-room campaigns on its members' campuses in addition to You Can Play nights and creating videos to educate the general public.
