so what are we all about?
Slowpitch softball is a game that we can all play! It`s fun, very social and as competitive as you want it to be. We have a great mix of people, having complete beginners that join us every year and some who have been playing with us since we started in 1998.
There are gay men, lesbians, gay friendlies, beginners and experienced who would like to have a bit of a hit. And the guys and girls are from all aspects of our community from straight, twinks to bears, gym bunnies to common variety and a great contingent of lesbians.
Regular social matches are organised throughout the winter months, while in summer we coordinate weekly competition and a full league. We will be playing with 11 teams for the 2009/10 season - more than 150 players.
We play on the diamonds opposite Fox Studios and the summer league games are played each Tuesday evening starting 6.30pm. We have a drink and a feed after the game as well at Fox & Lion.
We`re very social, friendly and welcoming and it`s a great way to meet some guys/girls that you probably would not meet on the usual circuits. Don't worry if you have never played before, we have newbies every year.
