Want to play baseball or Softball?
« on: April 28, 2007, 07:23:49 AM »
Hi there!
:)

My name is Ioan and I play for the Halton Jaguars baseball club. We're always looking for more people so if you fancy having a go, drop me a line!
:D

There are quite a few baseball teams in the UK.
Go on http://www.baseballsoftballuk.com for more info.

Also email me if you'd like to join the Halton ladies only Softball club. (my wife i their team rep!) :D

Obviously, if you need to find a team elsewhere, I can still help you! Get out there and play ball!
:D

Do you know if there are any ladies/co-ed softball teams in Norfolk?

There's a team finder on the above link. ;)

I played softball for ten years throughout  middle school and high school when I lived in America so I thought I'd take a look and see if there were any community teams near me... There are only 4 fast pitch softball teams in the whole of London (and I'm not sure if you can really count Croydon as London anyway!). Oh well, I guess I'll stick to my running and weight lifting!
Summer 97 - first visited friends in London
99-00 - studied at Uni of Sussex on exchange
Feb 02 - moved to London on BUNAC
Sep 02 - WP granted (IT skills shortage list)
Sep 04 - WP renewed
Sep 06 - WP renewed again (screwed by 4-5 year ILR change)
Sep 07 - ILR!
March 09 - Citizenship!
July 09 - bone marrow transplant :(
18 Sep 10 - wedding!
Mar 12 - half marathon in Paris! 1:47:12!
Oct 12 - Amsterdam FULL marathon! 3:48:23!

There are no teams in my area :(

I played for years when I was a kid, teenager and at Uni one year.  I still have my glove at my parents house somewhere.

Thank you for posting, hopefully someone will find a team.

Good luck finding more players for your team and your wifes.

Yes, the closest womens softball team to me is near Richmond in London!! :(  I can't travel 145 miles one way to practice :( 

I don't think there any other Americans in Norfolk, let along those who would be interested in playing softball!  I hope I am proven wrong :-/

Hello!  Update!  I've been put in contact with a softball league that is just starting up at Fakenham High School.  It's still an hour away, but it's much closer than Richmond!  At least it's in North Norfolk!  I'm going to give it a try on Wednesday evening and see how it goes. 

It was quite a surprise to find something like this in my area.  Woohoo!
