Ariana to Join U12's GB Squad for European Championship Bid in Hungary
Ariana Lanfermeijer, one of our talented female players, has been chosen to represent Team GB in the Under 12's category at the European Championships due to be held in Hungary in July.
We are so proud of her achievement, not just for her selection, but for her dedication and determination to succeed in a sport she loves. A very quiet and unassuming young lady, Ariana is a great ambassador for our sport and she is the first ever female player chosen to represent GB in this category and long may that continue.
Hopefully, Arianas success will inspire more girls to take up baseball as a sport... We are lucky at Guildford in that we have several young ladies now currently attending baseball sessions...and we would like many more!

Good Luck Ariana...."Hit Away"
Under 7's Activities for 2025
New for 2025 - FREE activity sessions for under 7's will be starting soon at Kings College Field. We are trying to encourage youngsters aged 7 or below to come down and join us for a freeflow fun session loosely based around rounders and baseball. We are creating a new game that is aimed at very young players that we hope will be fun for them to play regardless of their ability or experience.
Using lightweight foam balls, bats and a tee we have created a hybrid game that uses Teeball as its base, played on a Rounders Diamond with a few baseball rules thrown in for good measure. The main aim will be to have fun in a very relaxed, non-intimidating environment aimed at youngsters who may not have played any sport before....with any luck, we may get a few Mums & Dads playing with us too!
If you'd like to know more or you have youngsters who would like to take part, please use this contact form and we will keep you up to date with the project.....
New Coach for Juniors
We are thrilled to announce a new addition to our Juniors coaching team; Reece Palmer....
Reece joined us this month and is a BBF Level 2 qualified coach. He has played most of the diamond positions in his day including pitcher and now brings his expertise to Guildford having previously coached at Horsham and Brighton....welcome to Guildford Reece!
Indoor Training March 2025
As a prelude to the start of the Junior baseball season, which begins on Saturday 26th April at Kings College, we invited existing and prospective new club members down to Broadwater for some indoor warm up sessions. Big thankyou to Mike Burdett for organising this free series of events.
It was well attended by many of our existing players as well as some new ones that are trying the sport for the first time - who, hopefully we will see with us throughout 2025!
Season End 2024
Saturday 28th September 2024 was our last Baseball session for this year - we would like to thank everyone who has supported us this year, all of the boys and girls, Mums and Dads and all our volunteer coaches who have made our 2024 Season so much fun and so successful.
The teams have enjoyed inter-club sessions at Kings as well as road trips playing against Croydon, Brighton, Chichester, Bournemouth and London as well as taking part in the National Youth Championship tournaments at Farnham Park.
We look forward to more fantastic Junior Baseball in 2025....
