Summer Coach Visit
LSA has booked BSUK Summer Coach Liz Knight to run two Sunday training sessions through the season. The first session is mixed and will focus on advanced fielding, whilst the second will be aimed at ladies only (although the boys can come down and run their own session if they want!)
Tournaments - We Need YOU!!
LSA is looking for players - new and experienced - to take part in the summer tournaments. Full details will be published soon, but if you are interested in finding out more in the meantime, please refer to your Captain's Pack or ask one of the committee. Tournament destinations planned this year are Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Windsor, Glasgow and of course the famous Leeds Tournament (held at West Park RFC in Bramhope). All players are eligible to enter tournaments either as part of a composite team or under your own team colours.. it couldn't be easier!
New Season Underway
The new season for LSA has begun! Full fixture lists are available on this site or by contacting the committee. Sunday Training sessions are also running - 2-4 on Bedquilts, open to all. Full details of the sessions will be published shortly, including a visit from one of BSUK's summer coaches!

Help the GB Women get to the World Championships!
The team receives no public funding because softball is no longer an Olympic sport. Players and staff will have to pay their own way to compete for their country at the World Championships, which will probably be held in ...North America.
So the team has entered a British Airways contest called “Great Britons”, where the prize could be 16 desperately-needed free flights that can get the majority of our players and staff to the World Championships. Now the team has been shortlisted along with seven other entries, and the winner will be determined by public vote.
Click for the full story and then PLEASE vote - Winning this contest could make all the difference between the GB Women's Softball Team being able to go to the World Championships and having to turn down its place.
