The British Softball Federation is raising funds to send the GB Men’s U16 and U18 teams to the 2026 European Softball Championships in Czechia, running from 29 June to 4 July 2026.

"We have been preparing players for this event for a little over 2 years with our calendar of national sessions and weekend tournaments in Europe. I am really impressed with the commitment to training and continued skills development that these players display, and I am looking forward to watching them embrace the experience of the Euro's."

— Natalie Hull, Head Coach, GB Mens Under 16s Fastpitch, British Softball Federation

"Following an excellent winter training program, I’m very pleased with the way this group of players stepped up to the challenges we set them. They worked extremely hard and proved themselves time and again. I’m pleased for the players who have made the selection. Many have been with me for over a year, and it’s now exciting to take them to the Championships."

— Alan LeMarquand, Head Coach, GB Mens Under 18s Fastpitch, British Softball Federation
