GAMES – are played most Saturdays from May to July both at home and away. Games schedule for 2010 is not yet agreed, but when finalised will be on the  Teams page.  Parents usually take it in turns to transport to these fixtures  - which in 2009 were Bolton, Halton, Manchester, Menwith Hill and Rudheath. Contributions towards transport costs are usually offered.

UNIFORM - most uniform is provided but some personal items are also necessary.

Club game shirt (provided)

Black baseball pants (provided)

Black undershirt/T-shirt (optional)

Socks (gold provided) or black

Club Hat (£5.00, available from Club)

Footwear, baseball cleats – moulded soles, football boots or similar (No metal studs)

Helmets are provided by the club and must be used when batting.

The baseball glove or mitt used for fielding is essentially a personal item of equipment so all players should purchase their own. Gloves vary considerably in price and quality. A good leather glove starting at approx £35 can last for many years if looked after. Ask a coach for advice on types of gloves and suppliers. The club does have a few gloves which can be borrowed by younger players when they first try the game.

An athletic protector (box) should be worn by male club participants.

Battings gloves are another useful personal item of equipment offering good grip on the bat handle and preventing some of the ‘sting’ when hitting then ball.

Some players like to purchase their own bats but these are provided by the club. Again they vary in length, quality and cost – please ask a coach for advice. The bat must be an approved type to use in a league game.
