BRACKNELL SOFTBALL CLUB
Bracknell Softball was formed in 2012.
We’re a fun, friendly, and inclusive club open to everyone—whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned player. Our co-ed teams include a wide range of ages and abilities, and we take pride in creating a welcoming, supportive, and community-focused environment.
We train regularly, compete in the Windsor & Maidenhead Softball League, take part in tournaments across the UK, and enjoy a packed calendar of social events throughout the season.
