Free Slow-pitch Softball Course |
|
Dear GSL Members,
Unfortunately, I only just discovered the website below: a free
slow-pitch softball course given by the European Softball Federation.
Too late to register for this year, but it is definitely something to
keep in mind for next year.
Charlie
Dear European Softballers,
The ESF will be holding its first-ever European Slowpitch
Softball
Clinic from Friday evening, June 30 through Sunday, July 2 in
Zagreb,
hosted by the Croatian Softball Federation.
The clinic will be aimed at players, coaches and umpires
interested
in learning more about Slowpitch rules, techniques and tactics,
and
how the game differs from Fastpitch.
One aim of the clinic is to help European countries to build
domestic
Slowpitch leagues and attract more players to the sport. But
another
aim will be to help countries prepare for European Slowpitch
Championship and Cup competition, either now or in the future. So
the
clinic will look at Slowpitch both from a recreational and a
competitive point of view.
Topics to be covered will include:
--Slowpitch rules (where they differ from Fastpitch).
--Slowpitch umpiring -- particularly calling balls and strikes.
--Slowpitch pitching techniques and strategy.
--Slowpitch hitting techniques.
--Offensive strategy in Slowpitch.
--Defensive strategy in Slowpitch.
--Ideas for developing Slowpitch for recreational and
competitive
players.
The course will begin with an introductory classroom session on
Friday evening, June 30, and will continue with classroom and
field
sessions on Saturday and Sunday, ending by mid-afternoon on
Sunday.
More details about hotel options, transport etc will be
available
shortly.
The course will be offered free of charge.
If anyone from your Federation is interested in attending the
course,
please ask them to contact ESF Development Director Pavel Prachar
on
pprachar@sendme.cz for an application form, and copy your e-mail to
me.
And please contact me if you have questions about the course or
would
like moreinformation.
We would be very grateful if you can forward this e-mail to teams
and
individuals in your Federation that might be interested.
Regards,
Bob Fromer
Member, ESF Development Commission

Leftie Glove Missing |
|
The Quarks-Leptons spare leftie glove (goes on right hand) has gone
missing. It has "QUARKS / CERN" written on it. Can the finder
return it for the Bernie Tourney?
Thanks,

GSL Game Schedule |
|
Dear All,
This Sunday 23.07.2006 there are no slow-pitch games at Childer's field. On the other hand, the DieHards fast-pitch team will be playing in Verona, Italy. This tournament includes a Salsa course, which should proof interesting to some of us. Also good luck to Jackie (Rowdies) who will be playing women's slow-pitch in the USA.
On the 29-30.07.2006, we can all enjoy an entire weekend of softball at the Bernie Tourney in Geneva organised by the Quarks and the Leptons. More information on the tournament will appear soon.
By the way, if someone has a spare right handed glove for a left handed player of the Dragons team then please let me know (gsl.
charlie@bluewin.ch).
On the Saturday evening, the softball will be followed by musical tunes from the Hardronic festival at CERN. Don't miss out!
Finally in August, no official slow-pitch games are scheduled.
However, there will be a pick up game every Sunday at 1 pm. The Marines will continue to sell drinks and hot dogs during this time.
So bring your family and friends for a fun game of softball. Before or after the slow-pitch pick up game, the field will also be available for fast-pitch practices in preparation for the tournament in Slovakia.
Enjoy the softball!
Charlie

GSL games on June 18th |
|
Some changes have been made to the schedule. Mission will be playing ILO/Old
Spice at noon. The following game, Rowdies versus S.Dozers, has been postponed
because several Rowdies are playing fast pitch in Novara. Therefore, the
Leptons - Quarks game has been put forward to 2 pm.
Have a good game and good luck to the DieHards!
