Academy Softball Returns; Register Now!
Mon 11 Oct 2021
BaseballSoftballUK is excited to announce the return of Academy Softball for 2021-2022 – after a year’s hiatus, the premier National softball talent development programme has returned!
The Academy is designed to help players of all skills turn the off-season into an opportunity to become better, stronger and fitter athletes. This is a great time to make improvements in your game, and our excellent Academy coaches will be on hand to help you do it.
This year’s Academy Softball programme will feature both Regional and National training sessions, along with new elements and lessons added to the programme. The most notable of these additions is that all National Academy sessions at Coventry will feature full scrimmages, to truly put the skills learned in other sessions to the test. All other sessions will follow the usual Academy layout of skill-work and games. For more questions about session layouts, please email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
The following venues will be used for this year’s programme:

- Birmingham: Gospel Oak Sports Centre (Bilston Rd, Tipton DY4 0BZ)
- North-West: Manchester - FIVES Trafford (Trafford Way, Trafford Park, Stretford, Manchester M17 8DD)
