Hi,

 

Anyone play softball here?

Looking to join a team to play in the SBSA fastpitch league.

Used to play regularly and competed every year at the Kallang for the fast ptich. My team now "disbanded" as most of us are now caught up with age and fitness. Maybe slow pitch still can, [laugh] . I know a few of my team-mates are still playing at West Coast Park every Sunday with the Japanese teams after being "signed" by them [;)]

Hvn't been in the scene for quite a while now and I wld guess not much local small teams left, unless u try to join the more "established" teams like SRC. But there are "pre-requisites" to join tat team.

My bet is to go West Coast Park on Sunday mornings and make frens with the guys playing there. I am very sure there will be a few local boys there as well. The Jap std is good, can help to improve urself further playing with them.

Glad to see a fellow Softballer here. This sport not many ppl participate.

Ah, X-United... our friendly rival team. Used to train together with my team as well. Me from Cardinals. Most of my sch team members went on to play for this team after leaving sch. We did continue to stay as a solid unit for quite a no. of yrs. Then slowly one by one drop out due to personal commitments elsewhere. Fitness play a big part as well though [laugh]

It's the other carpark at West Coast, nearer to the playground site. U know the one with the semi-round structure for kids to climb? Stopped playing abt 3-4 yrs liao. Cannot keep up with fitness liao la. Keep having injury here and there when going for training or competition. So decided to hang up my glove.

went to west coast JAG club to kaybo just now.

Saw their diamond. Wow very nice.

maybe even better than the one in Kallang.

But their pitching circle has a small hump, higher than the ground.

Guess they are more into baseball.

If got hump then most likely it's for baseball. You tried baseball before? Softball will be like kid's play liao.

Kallang's diamond has not been maintained well at all. Even right from new. Still remember when Kallang's skin diamond was officially opened for competition, it got flooded with just 1 simple rainfall. Took hours for the water to subside. Memories... sigh...

Any idea where i can buy softball equipments?

 

Wanted to get a new glove and maybe shoes :)

 

These days i go to Ngee Ann Poly on Saturday to play with the young people.

They no longer have IVP. These ppl join the team solely for the love of the game and have no games to look forward too.

Come down if you have time. 3pm to 6ish every saturday at NP football field.

They will appreciate it.

I wouldn't say coach them. Just to have some fun and at the same time share your experience with them.
