About training with bsa
What do we offer at BSA?
Want to improve your game? Our qualified coaches run regular training, a great opportunity to improve your game or to keep your skills honed. Weekly outdoor sessions run during the first half of the summer season and a series of indoor evening sessions are organised during the off-season.
The Bristol Softball Association has a long history of providing quality coaching for all levels of play. All our coaches are nationally qualified with years of experiences and hundreds of coaching hours.
Outdoor Training
Usually held at our league fields – Clifton College, Abbotts Leigh. During the season there are open training sessions held 6.30 to 8.30 p.m. on Mondays, using starting on the last Monday in April – watch out for announcements on the Bristol softball Facebook site. These sessions are primarily aimed at beginners and intermediate but all players are welcome. All balls, bases bats and gloves are provided for use, all in a friendly welcoming atmosphere to help you improve your game.
There is a small charge for these events of £2 per head.
In 2021 these practices will be Covid compliant, please bring your own hand sanitiser and mask.
