Since its reformation in 2017, the Oxford University Baseball and Softball Club (OUBSC) has worked hard to build up baseball in England. Our competitive squad competes at the top level of British university baseball, while at the same time the OUBSC offers developmental sessions to new players. From 2017 to 2020, the OUBSC went from a small, informal group of students to winning the National University Baseball Championships. Since then, the OUBSC has obtained Half-Blue status, allowing the team to be duly recognized for its achievements.
Baseball is an equipment intensive sport and thus long-term the OUBSC cannot solely rely on players to provide their own gear. Additionally, as baseball gains prominence in the UK, maintaining access to training facilities and equipment is essential for us to remain competitive at the national level. That is why we are asking for help. Here are some of the ways that your donation can make a difference:
- £20 will pay for a set of game baseballs
- £50 will pay to hire an umpire for a match
- £150 will pay for an L-screen
- £300 will pay for a baseball bat
- £500 will pay for a pitching machine and balls
- £1,000 will cover our practice costs for the year
One of OUBSC’s long-term goals is to build our own baseball field or to finance meaningful improvements to the baseball field at Horspath, where we currently play. If you are interested in donating for this purpose, please get in touch.
