About the Women’s Softball European Championship 2013
This year’s XVIII. European championship will be held in Prague, during July the 7th – 13th in the grounds called Svoboda Park in Bohnice and SaBaT Trója. The tournament under the head of the European Softball Federation (ESF) with a tradition since 1979 is held every odd year. In 2013, host of the tournament is the Czech Republic, which held the championship for the last time so far in 2005. Prague will host 19 national teams divided into four groups, in which the teams will face each other to fight their ways into the play-offs. The Championship won’t reveal only the new European Champions, but also the qualifying teams for the 2014 World Championship in Netherlands.

The Czech team finished fourth in the last championship. At its own grounds, its ambition will be higher and the players would love to fight their way into the final game with the support of the home crowd as well as the leadership of the national team coach, André Prins – an expert from the Netherlands. His experiences from the past years, in which he stood behind many European teams, could be useful in the medal goal. Among the best opponents of the Czech team, there are all the last medalists: the Netherlands, Italy and the United Kingdom. However, the strong teams from Russia and Spain can also play their role. If the Czechs will succeed in reaching their goal, we will all know on Saturday, July the 13th 2013.
