The London Indoor Softball League, which has been operating at a one-court venue at the Ark All Saints Academy in Camberwell during the Autumn season, will have a new venue with two courts and other amenities when play resumes in the new .png)
year.
Having two courts will mean more teams, more games, longer innings and on-court practice, resulting in a better all-round experience for teams.
The new venue will be the Osterley Sports and Athletic Centre, 120 Wood Lane, Isleworth TW7 5FF [map].
The venue has free car parking, showers, changing rooms and plenty of outside space to use for warm-up if the weather is amenable.
There's also a bar opposite the venue called the Terminal 6 Lounge & Bar, and BaseballSoftballUK has negotiated the same free food arrangements with them as we had with the Hanover Arms near the Oval.
For those coming by public transport, the nearest tube station is Osterley on the Piccadilly Line (Heathrow branch). The venue is the same distance on foot from Osterley station as All Saints Academy is from Oval station.
