Update

1. There will be no softball this Saturday. We may try to get Saturdays going again especially in lead up to tournaments, interest permitting.

2. As Wednesdays are finally starting to get going properly with adequate numbers showing, we should try to introduce any possible new players. If anyone know of anyone who may like to join try and get them to come next Wednesday, if we have a few people we can take them aside for first while and ease them in.

3. We have been invited again to Castleknock Invitational tournament in Castleknock, Dublin on Sat July 18th. If you would like to go to this can you let me know soon as you can, thanks.

4. Also August15/16 is the IOST, the big tournament of the summer. This year this will take place in Cork, UCC grounds. So try and free this weekend up if you plan to go, will be looking for numbers soon.

Galway Softball Open Day June 10th

If you're interested in playing softball with us in Galway then come along to our open training session on June 10th. If you don't know what softball is but would like to find out then come along and we'll show you.

June 10th is the open day where we're aiming for as many of the new people that have already expressed an interest to come along and let us show you what its all about. The 10th is just our open day you can start coming to our training sessions at any time, the schedule is on the panel on the right side of this blog.

Softball is the co-ed, slower and more sociably paced version of baseball. A note tho the ball itself is not soft, in fact its quite hard! See more information on softball in Ireland here.

The second (and most important part) of training takes place in the Bierhaus immediately after training every Wednesday

Wednesday training starts the week

Just a reminder that training will start this Wednesday at 6.45 in the usual place.

As everyone agreed in our survey last year we're going to try to structure training a bit better this year with more specific drills to start with and then the usual game after.
We'll try to do a few short drills in the first half hour and then play our usual game until it gets too dark (which will be early enough for the first few weeks!!)

I would ask everyone to be at training at 6.45 so we can be ready to start at 7 sharp. We need to organise the drills differently depending on how many people we have so its important to have everyone together for the start. We are also going to limit the amount of time on the drills for the first few weeks so that we can play a proper game.

See you all Wednesday and don't forget to bring along new people if you can.
