The Swedish Baseball and Softball Federation held a joint minicamp for their Baseball and Softball National Teams last weekend in Bosön, a sport complex outside of Stockholm, to prepare them for the upcoming season. It was the second such camp after a first one in October last year. The coaches were able to evaluate the winter training of the players and can give advice, where it might needs improvement.
The Baseball team is going to have an exciting season with the Prague Baseball Week in July and the IBAF Baseball World Cup in September. The Swedish city Sundbyberg hosts a pool in the preliminary round with Sweden, Netherlands Antilles, Canada and Olympic Champion South Korea. The Softball team prepares for the B-Pool European Championships in Antwerp, Belgium from July 27th to August 2nd and hopes to qualify for the A-Pool.
