Softball
Softball is a modified version of baseball, a sport particularly well known and loved in the USA. The "little brother" to baseball is attractive due to its successful combination of pitching, catching, batting, running, and exciting game situations. Our training offers a grounded introduction to pitching, catching, and batting techniques as well as game tactics, offering an ideal entry to this exotic sport. Teams are co-ed. Team spirit plays a large factor on the Aachen Aixplosives. Aside from training, focus is placed on socializing. The team is always happy to welcome new members.
