The decision to put one of our teams at AAA last year is still impacting our club, but we’re delighted that the South West & Wales Baseball League has started a AA division!

⛈️ The Thunder will play in the new AA league this season, with the Knights staying in the SWWBL Severn Division.

👀 Only 7 weeks until the season begins!

Here we go!!
For the first time ever, the SWWBL is overseeing the running of both a Single A and AA league system under the
13 teams will contest the Wessex and Severn Divisions whilst 7 teams from the new SWWBL AA.
This means that there has never been a better time to get involved in regional baseball with so many playing opportunities across so many clubs.
Our goal is to continue to develop teams within club structures so that there is a clear pathway through the league system - with the Bristol Bats being the AAA we would like to support in the future.
So. Get involved today with your local club - whether as a complete beginner or experienced baller 👍
