Thinking of Joining?

Whether you’ve never picked up a baseball before or have been fielding grounders all your life, the Oxford University Baseball Club (OUBSC) has something to offer you.

 

Practice and Competition

Throughout the year, practices are held three times a week to develop skills in pitching, hitting, and fielding. Experienced players work to hone their skills and try out new positions, while beginners are welcome to find their place on the field through drills, scrimmages, and other exercises. Practices are structured to ensure that we work together as a team to run cohesive plays, as well as provide time and attention to every player to improve individual aspects of their game. 

We compete in the Southeast Division of the BUCS university baseball league, with games held every two to three weeks in Michaelmas and Hilary terms. Throughout the season, we work to qualify for the spring BUCS Baseball Championship. In the past 5 years, the team has placed in the top 5 on the National stage. Additionally, we hold an annual Varsity Match with Cambridge, and lead in wins 7-2 and counting. 

 

Regardless of whether it is a practice, a game or a social, I really enjoy every part of it. The walk-off win with home steal that enabled us to play in the Nationals is probably the highlight of our season.

Never played before?

 
 

I had never played baseball before I came to Oxford, and was welcomed as a beginner. From learning how to bat and field in practices to lively social events, baseball has been one of the best experiences I've had at the university. Being part of this tight-knit team has been an amazing chance to learn a new skill and meet great people from across all parts of Oxford.

No worries! We welcome all abilities and skill levels to come and try baseball with us. In Michaelmas, complete rookies will have training sessions tailored specifically towards building the basic foundations needed to play baseball. It is completely possible to play BUCS games, friendlies, scrimmages, and even Nationals games as a beginner. We look forward to having you!
