WBOPSA Slowpitch Season
Slowpitch Softball is played on Friday nights and starts up again on 28th October - 6pm, Carlton Reserve, Otumoetai.
Slowpitch is ideal for new players or those that wish to play a more leisurely game of Softball. Played in mixed teams, including at least four females, the ball is lobbed slowly for the batter for higher chance of a hit.
Get a team of family, friends or work collegues together and enter now.
If you don't have a team, turn up at 5.30 pm on the Friday night and we will put you in a team.
If you are new and interested in playing this summer, contact Patrick Zeinert (Slowpitch Coordinator) on 027 247 4150.
