Dear ALLBB parents, players and friends!

 

Because of current events, the Corona virus pandemic, plans are quickly changing. Unfortunately, these changes will also affect the ALLBB season.

As you have surely heard all schools and sport facilities are closed until the end of the spring break, April 20th.

Currently this means we must suspend our field clean-up on April18th as well as our player draft for the teams later that same day.

At the moment we do not have a clear understanding of the impact the corona outbreak will have for our season. The most current information is that school and sport activities will resume on April 20th, but if that changes, we will remain in full compliance of the German Health Department.

While we look forward to baseballs cracking of bats and enjoying good food and friends our commitment to public safety will always come first. We understand the frustration of having to wait for the game we all so love but appreciate your continued support and understanding.

We will continue to inform you as new information becomes available.

 Stay healthy!

Sincerely, 

Florian Schlehofer

the ALLBB Commissioner

& the ALLBB Board

Interested in coaching?

The baseball season will be here before we know it and we hope you are looking forward to it as much as we are. In the last several seasons finding enough coaches has been a problem, unfortunately that is the case this year as well.

Our goal is to field 4 Tee ball teams, 6 Minor League teams, 6 Little League teams and 2 Juniors teams. If we do not have the head coaches for each of the team then it will result on less teams which could also mean that we have to turn people away. Of course, we don’t want to do that which is why we are asking for your help.

If you or any one you know would like to help by coaching a team let us know right away. Please contact: Cameron Scott
ALLBB Coach Coordinator, coachcoordinator@allbb.de

Soon the season 2020 starts!

The dates for the new baseball season 2020 have been set. Due to the short season there are some small changes:

This year we go out to the baseball field immediately after Easter, then our training and games will take place at Sachtlebenstraße 36, 14165 Berlin-Zehlendorf.

The season starts with the traditional ALLBB Field Clean up Day on 18th April 2020, starting at 10 a.m. We hope that there will be many hard-working helpers, even if it is the last Easter holiday weekend. This year there will be no try-outs, so the training starts on 20th April, 2020, depending on the age group, once a week on Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursdays.

The first day of the playing season is on 25th April 2020, 10 a.m. We celebrate the ALLBB Opening Day with a big opening ceremony. The last day of the season is 27th June .

Fun during the training and the games is guaranteed for the baseball players. In addition, there will be a lot of “American way of life” for the whole family with baseball and barbecue on Saturday match days in Sachtlebenstraße.

You want to be there?

We are happy to welcome all baseball newcomers as well as experienced players. In addition, we are always happy to receive numerous honorary support, be it as a coach or other volunteer. Here you will find more information for players inside and the possibilities of the honorary support: Registration.

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us: info@allbb.de.

Play ball!

Preparations are in full swing!

While elsewhere Christmas mood slowly sets in, the ALLBB team is preparing intensively for the new season 2020/21: When will the season start with the Clean up Day at Sachtlebenstraße? Who will be attending the Opening Ceremony? With which teams will T-Ballers, Minor- and Little Leaguer or Juniors compete? Anyway, what can be done to make the upcoming ALLBB season even better?

Much will be clarified in the next few weeks, but one thing is already becoming apparent: it will certainly be another great season for the kids, the familys and the many volunteers who make it possible at all.

If you still want to register as a player, you can download the documents here: Registration-form-2020_Rev_012DPU

ALLBB is also always looking for coaches and volunteers who want to accompany the season with commitment and passion: ALLBB Volunteer Form 2019-2020_Rev_00
