ABOUT SOFTBALL
-
Softball is a co-ed bat and ball team sport, lending itself to a fun and social sporting experience.
-
Softball has a strong brand identity linked to Major League Baseball (MLB) and to common references in American culture, making it familiar whilst also being an exciting new offer to many.
-
Baseball and softball returned to the Olympics in Tokyo 2020, and will also be featured in LA 2028. Participation is at an all-time high, and with the MLB set to come to London again, baseball and softball are on the cusp of becoming socially and culturally significant here in the UK.
ABOUT THE LEAGUE
-
Launched in May 2016, in response to continued demand from the MK Diamonds Softball Club and surrounding teams for competitive local playing opportunities.
-
Starting as a four team league, the league has since grown to eight teams which equates to over eighty players.
-
Players currently come from across seven counties: Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire and even Warwickshire.
-
We have a large membership and fan base regularly accessing our website and receiving semi-regular newsletters.
-
The MK Softball League has an active and highly visible presence on social media platforms, with Facebook & Instagram posts frequently recording over 1000 views.

As well as weekly trips to the pub following fixtures the league has a full social calendar with members and their families getting together for a range of activities, plus a large scale Awards Night at the end of the summer season.
