Formation Description

I started playing softball during sixth form, and quickly began to love it, both for the sport itself and the great community of people it allows you to meet. I came to Leeds hoping to continue playing, so would love to set up this society to allow other people to enjoy such a great sport.

Our main ambition is to begin a fun and inclusive society where people can enjoy learning and playing a new sport that is less common in the UK, meeting new people and making friendships while doing this. The regular training sessions would be a great way to help students stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle while at uni in a fun and low-pressure way, as well as being an opportunity to de-stress amidst academic pressures as well as sport having many other mental health benefits. Additionally, our society would be a platform for students in all years to meet new people. Softball is a mixed-gender sport that is suitable for people of all skill levels and athletic abilities, so is a perfect space to build lasting friendships and be in a supportive and inclusive environment. A further ambition would be to represent Leeds as a university. While it will take time to establish a university level team, in future we would aim to compete in inter-university tournaments, to represent Leeds in diverse sports.
