This weekend 27-30 March,
MABS will be hosting the 2007 Annual Congress at the Maritim Antonine Hotel in Mellieha. This is the first time the official event will be held in Malta where
delegates from countries all over Europe will be visiting. CEB, the Confederation of European Baseball is the
governing body for European Baseball and will be discussing important issues on
the agenda.
One of the topics will be the organizing of the 2009
Baseball World Cup, which will be held in Europe.
Maltese Baseball coaches will also benefit from this event as a coaching
clinic will be held by Pat Doyle from Major League Baseball while he is here
for congress.
Tee Ball Sessions to start in April
Tee Ball is a game for boys and girls, based on Baseball and is intended as an
introduction for young players to develop baseball or softball skills and have
fun.
In Tee Ball, there is usually no pitcher, except perhaps for defensive
purposes. The ball is placed on an adjustable tee on top of the home plate at a
suitable height for the batter to hit the ball. Most of the other rules are
similar or identical to those of baseball, though the game is played on a smaller
field.
Tee ball is all
about having FUN while learning the basics without the competitiveness.
MAB’s qualified
coaches will be organizing ten Tee Ball Spring sessions for children 5yrs to
9yrs old. Starting on Saturday 12th April from 11.00 to 12.30 at the
Marsa Baseball field. For more
information contact Patrick Pace on 79708951 or visit www.baseballsoftballmalta.org Sessions will also be
organized at Mellieha and in Gozo.
