About:
The Swansea Green Sox are the baseball and softball team of Swansea University. Formed in 2015 as the Seagulls, the Green Sox are an active and rising member of the university's well renowned Green and White Army (GWA). We welcome players of all abilities and experience. Seasoned players will have the opportunity to play in matches early on in the season, whilst we also aim to help develop people new to the sport so they can become part of the competitive team as soon as possible. We regularly compete against other universities in the BUCS Western division for baseball and the BUCS Southern division for softball. The season culminates at Nationals, which is the domestic championship, towards the end of the season. In the last BUCS season of 24/25 we achieved a impressive 10th out of 25 teams nationaly.
Socials:
The Green Sox quickly gained interest for our weekly mixed themed social events which have included: white tee parties, beer pong tournaments, karaoke, poker nights, bowling, laser tag, and many other events (both sober and non-sober). The events gained populairty for their inclusive nature and friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Training:
Our training sessions are run by our Captain biweekly, the sessions are engaging, informative and always entertaining. Sessions focus on developing personal skills and focus players into a few specific positions, we achieve this by running a variety of drills and game situations. We also aim to run friendly games against other universities to help both teams develop as well as allowing most of the club to play in games. Training sessions will vary between softball and baseball. We focus our competitive side into baseball which we have achieved lots of success with. As for softball we use to give more game time to everyone in the club, to have a good time and to hang out with the other teams in our league.
