Hello SW London Families,
Happy New Year to you all!
With the change of the calendar, we are one step closer to baseball
season. Lots of things are happening at
Southwest London Baseball in preparation for the upcoming season.
Website\Registration:
We have a new and updated website. The new website has a modern feel and will
allow us to deliver more information to you digitally. Browse around and check it out.
While you’re there you can access our new registration
system to sign up for the season ahead.
I know what you’re thinking, there’s snow on the ground. Many of are age groups do sell out every year
so please don’t delay.
New this season, you can add our upcoming winter hardball
and fastball clinics right from our league registration form. For more information on the clinics check out
this article News
> Winter Indoor Baseball & Fastball Clinics (Southwest London Baseball).
To help deliver information to families quicker we’ve also
created a new Facebook page, please give us a follow SW

18U Select
In 2025, Southwest London Baseball will look to offer Select
baseball at the 18U level (players born in 2007, 2008, or 2009). Our tryouts will take place in March
following the London Talons Rep tryouts.
Players looking to play 18U Rep next season can find out more
information on the Talons website Tryout
Schedule (London Talons Baseball).
The location, dates and times will be made available in the
month ahead. So, we can gauge interest
please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/etELG84Z161yZVxG8
if you haven’t done so already.
Volunteers Needed
Our association is 100% volunteer run. We rely on the incredible families
of Southwest London and Lambeth to operate our programs, which serves over 500
youth each season. We always have a need for coaches, assistant coaches
and other parents to help at the team level. We collect interest in those
positions at player registration.
We do have several association positions that we need
assistance with. I’ll highlight a few
below, you can view all the positions we need help with by visiting our website
Executive & Staff
(Southwest London Baseball).
Treasurer:
We once again will have a vacancy at the treasury position on the board.
We have an opportunity to transition the role from our current treasurer
Stephen Kennedy to a new volunteer over the course of the next season.
The treasurer is a member of the executive board and assists with financial
needs of the association, like payments and reimbursements.
Age Group Convenors
We also have a need for convenors at the age groups where we have multiple
teams. A convenor will help balance the teams at the start of the season
and be the first point of contact for parents should they have a question that
a coach is unable to answer. The convenor can be held by a coach of one
of the teams or can be done as an independent role. We currently have a
need for convenors at the following age groups:
|
Hardball
|
Girls Fastball
|
|
11U
|
U11
|
|
13U
|
U13
|
|
|
U17
|

Sponsorship
Are you a local business owner or do you work for a company that sponsors youth
sports? If so, we have an opportunity for you. We are in search of team
sponsors to help keep our programs running with reasonable fees and up to date
equipment. Team sponsorship includes putting the company name and/or logo
on the back of a team’s uniform or competitive teams banner and on our
website. The cost to sponsor a team is $300 and can be completed by
reaching out to us directly. If you have a creative idea on how we can
work together, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]
