Beginners Baseball – 2018/19

Guildford Baseball Club will be running its annual Beginners Baseball course, in November and December this year.will coaching

The course is aimed at anyone, aged 16 and up, who is new to the game or with little previous experience, and who would like to try the sport or is just looking for something new. 

The course consists of 4 sessions, with each session focusing on a specific skill of the game, in a series of different activities to help build up both the understanding and ability to perform that skill. These will be combined with education on both the rules and the strategy of the game, and usually rounded off each week, with a mini-game based on that week’s instruction. Everyone is allowed to progress at their own rate in order to both gain an understanding of how to play the game, as well as giving participants the confidence to start playing in more organised games and training sessions.

All equipment is provided and so you only need to turn up in clothing suitable for indoor activity. Following on from these sessions, the club moves into it’s off season and pre-season training sessions early in the New Year, which attendance on this course, will give you free entry to. During January and February, these will also be indoors, and generally with a focus on hitting and pitching.
