The
course which took place over six weeks was designed to attract and introduce female
participants to Softball and therefore enable the Birmingham Bobcats to expand
from one team of lots of guys and a few ladies into several teams. With more teams in the city Birmingham would
be able to develop a league.
The
course was a great success – attracting 18 members, all of whom have since either
joined the team or have already signed up for the next course. The class was run by Meg Gallahan, with
assistance from Sapin Patel and supported by Will Lintern of BSUK. Meg and Sapin did a fantastic job teaching
first the basic and then advanced skills in a fun and engaging way. The ladies were noticeably improving each
week and by the end of the course most participants were eager to join the
upcoming league which was then possible due to the sudden increase in female
participants.
Here are a few photos of the first week:
