On the weekend of 11-12 June, the ESF/CEB BeeBall Development Crew was invited by the Svenska Baseboll och Softboll Förbundet, the Swedish Federation, to Skövde, to hold a BeeBall Clinic. 

Prior to the clinic, in cooperation with the ESF/CEB Development Commission, the Swedish Federation had produced relevant materials, such as the BeeBall rules and promotional booklets, in the Swedish language.

At the beginning of the clinic, Anton Kops, the head of BeeBall Development in Europe, delivered a completely new presentation, partly in English and partly in Swedish. 

After that first session, all the participants were convinced that a year of BeeBall delivery in Sweden could lead to the creation of as many as 40 teams.

On the second day, under a beautiful blue sky, children from the city of Skövde participated in a BeeBall demonstration and games led by by Mariana Atanasova from the Netherlands. 

The clinic sessions in Sweden were another step on the journey of growing softball through the kid-friendly game of BeeBall, and with a bit of passion and hard work, anyone can make this happen. 

The ESF/CEB Development Commission plans to organize up to four BeeBall clinics this year.  To apply for a BeeBall Clinic in your country, please check out more details here.
