Softball team

Want to be part of the St John Ambulance team? Employees joined the Charity Softball League in 2009 with their powerful new team, 'The Badgers'.

Nearly 40 charities battled it out in Hyde Park, London to be crowned the softball champions of their group.

Despite being newcomers, the Badgers have been honing their skills and have showed flair and resilience against established teams such as Voluntary Services Overseas, Age Concern and Crimestoppers, scoring 273 runs, the most runs in the whole league of 40 teams.

It not only gives all departments of St John Ambulance the chance to work together and have fun but it also enables us to get to know our fellow charities better too.

Badgers’ Captain Rosie Myres who was behind the team’s conception said: ‘Softball is such an enjoyable game. It not only gives all departments of St John Ambulance the chance to work together and have fun but it also enables us to get to know our fellow charities better too.’

With ten players on the field each week, the Badgers eagerly await each game, ready to show off their batting and catching skills and tight team work.

You could be part of the team at St John Ambulance. Find out more about our current vacancies.

The Badgers must thank the support of The MJ Group who kindly sponsored the team for a full kit of bats, balls and gloves and designed their rather trendy team logo and t-shirts. The MJ Group provide a full range of traditional and digital print services.
