Batho Bame , I discovered a whole new side of the Baseball this weekend! 🇧🇼⚾🔥
This weekend I went out to support Team Botswana 🇧🇼 at the WBSC Africa Baseball5 Youth Continental Qualifiers Southern Africa, hosted right here in Gaborone. Teams from Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe came together to compete for continental qualification.
For those who haven't seen it before, Baseball5 is a fast-paced five-a-side version of baseball/softball. No bats are used the game is played with a ball and relies heavily on speed, movement, teamwork and quick thinking. ⚾💨
It was great discovering another sporting code and, more importantly, supporting our national team. We may be a football-loving nation, but Botswana has so many other talented athletes competing in sports that don't always receive the same attention. 🇧🇼❤️
I always encourage people to attend and support these events whenever you can many of them are FREE. When I was younger and competing myself, seeing members of the public come out to support us always made our day and gave us extra motivation. Sometimes simply showing up means more to an athlete than we realise.
So next time you hear that Botswana is competing whether it's football, softball, athletics, baseball, karate or a sport you've never watched before go out and support our national colours! 🇧🇼🙌
Thank you to Botswana Softball Association, 🇧🇼 Botswana National Sport Commission and the Ministry of Sport And Arts Botswana for continuing to grow and support different sporting codes in Botswana.
Support Botswana Sport. Support our athletes. Discover something new. 🇧🇼🔥
