Junior Softball at Ley Hill Primary School

We have started running a 7 week programme of junior softball at Ley Hill Primary School with the help of one of our members, Mel Parker, who is a teacher at the school. The youngsters at the school had already played some softball and we're keen to develop their skills and play a lot more.

Neil and Clare, with the help of other club members and BSUK, are running a series of 1.25 hour sessions on Saturday mornings at the school with the aim of:

• Developing basic skills
• Improving the kids' knowledge of the game
• Having fun

So far we've covered catching, throwing, ground balls, fly balls and batting and the kids have had a great time competing against each other in a series of skills based games.

The kids all show huge amounts of natural talent and it's exciting for us to see the softballers of the future in action.
