Although the season in the Czech Republic is over and winter slowly is coming. Baseball is not sleeping in Prague, because three of the four Prague baseball clubs are building new baseball fields!
Let’s start with SaBaT Prague. They had a nice, small baseball and softball facility near the Vltava River. But this facility was damaged during floods in 2002, so the club decided to create a new one. The first phase is in progress this year, so SaBaT played their home games at the Krc Altron and Titans Prague baseball ballpark. From 2008 they are returning home to a new baseball field. The softball field will be prepared too for juveniles and t-ball competitions. The next phases will contain building a new clubhouse with locker rooms and a restaurant in addition to other softball fields.
The next project is run under the leadership of one of the most successful youth baseball club. SK Kotlarka started this year with a junior team and they will start with a senior team next season. For this reason they decided to developed a senior baseball field in the Prague district “Praha 6-Marketa”. A nice project will be completed for the spring 2008 and we can expect the first games next April.
The last project was started by the Tempo Titans baseball club where they are building a new juveniles and softball field. The plan is that the first t-ball and juveniles games will be ready in April. From this perspective Prague will have no more troubles with baseball fields for cadets, juniors and seniors in the future. Since this year there were only three regular fields for these categories.
