There will be spare equipment if you don’t have a glove or bat. Come dressed for sports with shoes suitable for Astroturf (trainers are fine). There are 33 spaces per session and sign-up is via the Spond app.
What is softball?
Softball is a game similar to baseball, with a larger ball, played on a smaller pitch. The “soft” part comes from the underarm pitch. Batters strive to progress around all three bases and score a point by reaching the home plate. Fielders aim to get every batter out.
Our indoor softball sessions are adapted for the smaller area and to make the game run at a faster pace. For example, a batter gains a point for each base they reach off-the-bat. Our indoor softball page explains more. At indoor sessions, people of all abilities play together so come and give it a try.
