You're playing a game, whether it's Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It's impossible to do well unless you're having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there's pressure. But I just look at it as fun. Read more at: https://www.brainy

Nothants Baseball & Softball Club are looking to take as many of the youth players to the youth baseball MIX & Match series at Farnham Park.

This will be one of the biggest days in the youth calendar for Northants Kids and we would like to make sure you are all aware of what is going on.

On Sunday, 8th April, the British Baseball Federation is hosting a Mix-n-Match event for youths to experience baseball. The day includes a full day of baseball for all kids. Regardless, whether you are a beginner, skilled, girl or boy, you are welcomed to attend. There is no need to be a part of a team; we will mix you with players matched with your age and skill. Games will be organised all day, and we will provide professional instruction, in between games. Also, there will be coaches from our member's clubs available to assist and organise the kids. Teams will be arranged based on skill and ages.

Farnham Park

The day's action is all happening on four baseball fields at Farnham Park, Beaconsfield Road, Slough, SL2 3BP. Farnham Park is the national facility for baseball and softball. Situated in between all of the fields at Farnham Park is the Home Plate Kitchen (HPK), where hot food and cold drinks will be on sale all day. There is even a recreational area at HPK to relax, play some table tennis and make new friends. Plenty of free parking.

So, come out and enjoy a great day of baseball lined up by the British Baseball Federation. It’s a great way for the BBF and its members to showcase the great experience and fun, youths can take part in playing baseball. There is no fee to watch and for youths to take part in any of our events.
