2012 London
You got that right, Softball & Baseball have been omitted from the Olympics after 2008. BSUK (BaseballSoftballUK) have been in shock since all our grassroots plans hinged on the 2012 Olympics. I cannot tell you how much money we were to receive for our Grassroots extension programme, and now it has all gone to pot. On top of that my 14 year daughter has played for GB for the past two years and this was our bestchance for a long time to get a berth based on home country rule.
Softball has just started to get into schools over the past 3 years and we had our 2nd U13 & U16 National Championship last month with 32 schools from around the country completeing, all because of the "Olympic Dream" Like London last week Thursday, it is a disaster.
