CROYDON PARROTS YOUTH BASEBALL: Backstop & Fencing

The Croydon Parrots Youth Baseball team is fundraising to purchase a backstop and baseline fencing for our youth baseball field.

We built the field last summer - doing the majority of the labour ourselves - and as soon as we're keen to get going with the final stage of the project!

Generally, we are a self-funding club. However, fencing is surprisingly costly and your support for this project is hugely appreciated. As anyone who has played a team sport knows, there are so many benefits, including improving community, personal fitness, communication and cooperation.

Our goal is to provide a fun, friendly and competive baseball experience for young players from the Croydon, Sutton and greater south London community. Having an appealing facility will further spur interest and support for baseball, ensuring the sports' sustainability in our area.

If you own a business, or work for a business that would like to donate, we can include that business as a sponsor on our website, social media channels and offer the option to advertise with a banner at our ground on game days or at our upcoming tournament (expected attendance 250 ppl) - do let us know if that's something of interest. Thank you!
