Slowpitch softball is a purely recreational variant of fastpitch softball that is actively played worldwide. This alternative form of softball focuses primarily on fun playing. Because of the modified rules, the game is suitable for experienced and inexperienced players and can be played until an advanced age. The sport lends itself very well to for example parents of (youth) members, former members and for members who for certain (social) reasons no longer want to or can play fastpitch softball. Slowpitch softball focuses mainly on the most fun part of baseball and softball, namely hitting. To accomplish this, the ball is thrown underhand and with an arc (slowly).

To play slowpitch softball at HSV Adegeest it is necessary to purchase the following materials/items:  

  • An Adegeest uniform (gray pants and blue/yellow jersey; available at SSK Europe in Kwintsheul); up to the age of 18 you can rent your uniform from the club, so you don’t have to buy a new uniform when you need a bigger size.  

  • A baseball glove; available at special baseball stores.  

  • A baseball helmet; available at special baseball stores.  

  • Outdoor shoes with cleats, e.g. baseball shoes, possibly with metal cleats (>16 years) or hockey/football shoes.
