Copenhagen Fundraiser - Softball Tournament

On June 7, the Sydney Outfielders will host a softball tournament open to newbies and pros alike, to raise funds for their trip to the Outgames.

Beginners and avid softball fans alike are invited to take part in the day, which will have something for everyone — including pitching, batting and home run competitions for anyone who doesn’t feel like committing to a whole game.

Teams can enter and register up until May 20 and individuals can get in touch to be put in a team.

Teams will play off against each other in three divisions before the winners battle it out in a finals series.

info: Players must register in advance to take part. For more information or to register call Fabian on 0402 993 630 or email fabian.pazmino@morningstar.com by May 20.

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 played with 10 teams in the 2007/2008 league- that's more than 130 players! We are aiming to get back to 11 teams for the 2008/09 season.

We play on the diamonds opposite Fox Studios and the summer league games are played each Tuesday evening starting 6.30pm - you can register your interest for the summer league online or email us at info@sydneyoutfielders.org.au. We always have a drink and a feed after the game as well.

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.
