Come and play softball in Copenhagen!
Softball is quite similar to baseball, but played on a slightly smaller field with a slightly larger ball. The object of the game is to hit the ball with a bat and to run from one base to the next until you end up back at home. Whether you are familiar with the game already, dream of hitting a home-run, feel the need to get out and socialize, or just want to satisfy your curiosity by trying on a mitt and running around a bit, please feel free to join us.
We have a fastpitch men's team the Urban Achievers in the 2nd division, and are in the process of cultivating both a women's team and junior team. We're currently in the off-season, with outdoor practice starting again on April 1st.
ACHIEVERS ARE NATIONAL BASEBALL CHAMPS!
On a muggy September day in Schleiswig-Holstein, seven of your CPH Urban Achievers crossed the border to represent Team East against Team West in the Danish Baseball Cup. Along with Bobby Kenney and Anton Brown, the following Achievers brought the championship trophy home to Copenhagen with a convincing 19-4 victory:
Threefingers, Feebles, Dudermensch, Lukwata, Tucci, Daniel San, and Captain Raz.
The skies then erupted in thunderous applause and showered us all in a deluge of Wagnerian proportions. I see us rolling our way into the Euro Championships!
SLOWPITCH EVENTS-OF-THE-MONTH
SLOWPITCH SUMMARIES:
Despite the lousy weather, Slowpitch Fridays were still a success this summer. After two tantilizingly fun events in May and June, we decided to mix it up a bit for the July event and played ultimate frisbee. A few of us then went camping in Kongelunden.
For our final slowpitch Friday in August, the Willumsen family and their two sons -- junior Achievers with lots of potential -- played a great game with lots of little kids joining in as well.
A big thanks to everybody who helped make all four slowpitch events happen. With any luck, we'll have just as much fun next summer.
