Great Britain Women's Baseball Team 2024

Who are we?

The GB Women's Seniors baseball team is an integral part of the national programme and is represented by players from across the country. 

Why are we crowdfunding?

We are raising money to support the athletes and their long-term commitment to the GB jersey. The sport is amateur and the costs associated with being a GB Baseball player are largely met by the athletes themselves.

In 2025 the team will take part in the WBSC European championships and we need to make sure they have the best possible preparation.

"Being on this GB team makes me feel proud and pushes me to be the best player I can be. The trip to Canada was a real challenge but the best preparation we have for the Euros in 2025," said Artie Herbert.

How we’ll spend the money raised

All money raised will go to the British Baseball Federation (the national governing body) and will be allocated by the Federation's Treasurer and the GB Women's team Head Coach.

The money will be allocated towards:-

• Equipment such as apparel and other specialist baseball equipment
• Financial support to individual players based on consideration by the coaching team
• Training session costs throughout the year
• Travel and accommodation for the European Championship in August held in the Czech Republic

Community impact

The players in the GB Baseball Women's team are role models to hundreds of women's baseball players of all ages across the country who turn out every week for their clubs.

The members of the GB team hold coaching sessions for players across the country which engage and develop potential and existing players to grow the game and illustrate the pathway to being selected to wear the national jersey.

Your support will play a major part in this development and will maximise the impact of the efforts go the GB team to give back to the baseball community.
