Leicester Blue Sox are very excited to annouce two new initiatves aimed at getting more kids playing baseball in the community.
Baseball Community Day - Saturday 8th June
First up, we are returning to the village of Quorn, Leicestershire for another Baseball Community Day on Saturday 8th June. Following the success of our 2022 event, the village have kindly invited back to host activities again at Stafford Orchard Park.
On the menu we have:
Tee-ball taster and games for primary school age kids 10.30am-11.30am
Adults and secondary school kids Community Game 12.00pm onwards
No experience is necessary - come take a swing! Bring a picnic or purchase food offered by the Old School Cafe and John Dorry's fish & chip shop.
We also have entertainment from the Quorn Ukulele Orchestra, who play a mean rendition of "Take me out to the ballgame" plus extra fun for all the family with sack races, egg and spoon races during the afternoon and more music!
The event is to coincide with the 80th anniversary of D-Day and remembering the US troops who lived and trained in Quorn during World War II. We also have it on good authority they played baseball right here at Stafford Orchard during the 1940s!
School Summer Holidays Kids Baseball Club
We are also planning to come back to Quorn during the school holidays to coach a Kids Baseball Club on Saturday mornings for four weeks. The scheduled dates are:
Saturday 27th July
Saturday 3rd August
Saturday 10th August
Saturday 17th August
Venue is TBC, likely to be Stafford Orchard or possibly Quorn Cricket Club pending local council approval and confirmation.
The Kids Baseball Club is completely FREE thanks to the generosity of our fantastic club sponsors Deltech and Envy.
We will look to arrange the sessions into two age groups, one for Primary School age children, followed by a group for Secondary School age kids.
You can register your interest in the Community Day and Kids Club now via the the following link.
Our baseball coaches are DBS-checked and have lots of experience putting on safe and quality experiences for your children.
If you have any questions about these events, please email us:
We look forward to seeing you in Quorn this summer!
