RE-Freshers Day

The UCD Softball club plays co-ed slow-pitch softball. Games, not dissimilar to baseball, are played by two teams consisting of 10 players each. (See rules) One team bats whilst the other fields. The teams are mixed in a 50:50 or 60:40 ratio of boys to girls and softball is one of the only sports in the country to be mixed to an International standard. The club plays throughout the academic year, as well as entering some fun summer tournaments, catering for all levels of experience and for those interested in recreational and competitive games. All equipment is provided by the club and which also enjoys a strong social scene.


Intervarsities

We play in 3 major Intervarsity tournaments every year, hosted by Waterford IT, University of Limerick and ourselves. Our two main trips away are to Waterford and Limerick which are great fun and are subsidised by the club making them super cheap! A typical weekend would involve traveling on the bus or train, checking in to our hotel, then checking out the city nightlife (put mildly!). Then up early to get breakfast and play ball for the day, before doing it all again! (more info)
