No experience necessary and no equipment required, Maidenhead Softball Club will provide the equipment and the coaching to help you get activity and enjoying Softball quickly.

What is softball?
Softball is a social and enjoyable sport that’s easy to learn and play, even for people who are not “athletes” or don’t have much experience of team sports – and the game offers particular opportunities for women.

It’s a lot like baseball in terms of the rules, but because the ball is pitched slowly to each batter (as the name implies!), it’s easy to hit the ball and succeed at the sport’s central skill. The fact that men and women play together in the same team and on an equal level gives the sport a social buzz, and most softball games are followed by sessions at the local pub!

Getting Involved
MSC runs weekly sessions on Friday evenings for anyone wishing to give the sport a go. The sessions vary in location and time depending on the season. During the Autumn and Winter it's at Newlands Girls School from 6pm, during Spring and Summer sessions run from 6:30pm at North Maidenhead Cricket Club.

Embrace Your Masculinity - Personal Development Tribe

Amersham, B9

Embrace Your Masculinity is a personal development tribe for men who are determined to lead lives of meaning, purpose and growth. For those on this journey, building close friendships with other men who are also passionate about self-development is essential for moving forwards in life and celebrating positive masculinity. In current times, meeting likeminded individuals who have a positive, growth focussed mindset is increasingly challenging. Fortunately, if you are looking to form genuine connections with other men who are also seeking a higher purpose, you have come to the right place. In this group, we will discuss topics such as what it means to be a man, how life’s challenges can be re-framed as opportunities and identifying ways in which we can embrace and develop our masculinity. Based around London, the group also organises in-person activities to help develop our masculine values and form connections with other men. These activities include hikes, sports activities and camping trips. Begin the journey of embracing your masculinity by joining today.
