For many years now, Baseball has been a growing, recognised sport within Great Britain. Each and every day, more people are introduced and attracted to the competitiveness and explosiveness of the game of Baseball, and it is because of this very
reason that there are so many teams within Great Britain.
Great Britain has three teams playing at international youth level: GB Juniors for U18s, GB Cadets for U15s, and GB Juveniles for U12s. The British Baseball Academy was also created to ensure that players with the appropriate levels of commitment have an opportunity to practice and improve their baseball skills during the winter months. Each winter the Academy runs six weekend practice sessions between the months of October and March for any child wanting to be coached by the best coaches in the country.
