Doncaster Baseball Club is excited to announce the launch of a new mid-week mixed competion - Softball Social 7s!

Social 7s is a fun, fast, social and easy to play version of slow pitch softball! The easy rules make it quick to pick up, and the fun, simple gameplay is a great way for everyone of all skill levels invovled!! It is a great way to get husbands, wives, partners, fanily, friends and work colleagues participating in baseball!!

So, what exactly is Social 7s? Heres the breakdown:

• 7-a-side social mixed softball
• Easy to learn rules
• Every player bats each inning
• A new pitcher each inning
• 4 innings game played in under an hour
• High scoring: every base gained is a run!
• Ball is pitched slower, which means more hits and more fielding!
• A Strike Zone Mat is used – if the pitch lands on the mat, it is a strike!
