On the 21st June the Birmingham Bobcats will
host the first Birmingham Softball League (BSL). The ‘league’ is a development programme
intended to provide game experience to an increasing membership, add an
exciting competitive element to training and as a pilot for a potential
official league based in Birmingham.
The BSL consists of four teams created from the
Bobcats; The Roosters, The Minotaurs, The Weasels and the Harborne
Hammerheads. Each team is captained by
two coaches who will offer individual training and coaching throughout. The
enthusiasm for the league really took off after Jim Kent, media guru for the
Bobcats, designed logos for each team and made the league a reality.
The league will take place over six weeks with
two timed games every Thursday, finishing with a semi-final and final in the
fifth and six week.
The league has already attracted new members to
the club and is appealing to new audiences.
With the help of BSUK, the Bobcats hope this year’s development venture
will pave the way for an official league in Birmingham next year. It is certainly an ambition worth striving
for.
