❗Virtual Training Session❗

SOAS Baseball and Softball Club is hosting it's first online training session via Zoom. We want you guys to be active in an environment that will motivate you to get movin'. It's different when other people are working out with you in real time compared to when you're alone following a Youtube video. So come along and join us!

We're opening this event to all sports clubs, SOASians and non-SOASians. See you there!

When? Friday 20th November
Time? 3:30pm - 4pm
Link to Zoom will be sent the day before so please look out for it!

* Please be prompt and be on Zoom at least 5 mins before we start so that we can start at 3:30pm exactly
* Cameras are not necessary as we respect those who do not wish to be seen but it would be nice to see everyone :))
* If camera is on, please make sure no personal details are around you - safety first!
• Audio off so we can only hear Cameron

Cameron (President) sent us a Winter Workout Plan on Whatsapp so go check it out.
°
This Indoor Training Plan takes some of his suggestions.
°
HIIT workouts:
Use this Darebee workout plan as a template for your workout or any other HIIT workout you like. For the Darebee workout, do 1 minute of each exercise with a 1 minute break in between doing side steps, stretches (any light cardio). Try to do at least 2 sets minimum to build endurance.
°
Yoga:
there's a lot of beginner's yoga videos out there if you're unfamiliar with yoga poses. For the template provided, it's an easy quick 5min workout. You can do multiple sets or try your hand at other poses.
°
Stair climbs:
Find a set of stairs and start doing laps up and down. This is incline training and will definitely give you sore legs if you don't do stretches before hand and a cool down after.
An alternative to stair climbs is box step ups. Grab a sturdy box or stool and do a minute going up and down the box. Take a minute break then do another minute going up and down.

❗Update❗

Our training session will have to be pushed back to the 24th October. This is the Student Union's request as this week is still part of Fresher's Fayre.

Are there any other changes? No. The time has not changed so 1pm - 3pm as stated before. Clothes will need to be comfy and sports ready. Meeting point is still at the fountain.

See ya guys on Sat 24th! Until then, stay safe!

❗ Training Session ❗
°°°°
That's right! SOAS Baseball and Softball is having it's first in-person training. We have been given the green light thanks to our president, Cameron 🥳🥳 He has consistently messaged SOAS and UK's baseball NGOs to give our club the chance to train outside and without the rule of 6. This was only possible with the risk assessments Cameron wrote up so we do need to follow procedures to mitigate these risks and we ask for your cooperation to make sure we all stay safe.
°°°°
More info regarding health and safety procedures will be sent closer to the date. Can't wait to see you guys on Saturday!

Apologies everyone who went down for the SOAS baseball and Softball club meet and greet today at 3-4pm. My work overran in Cambridge and as a result I am unable to come down and host the event today. I have rescheduled it for tomorrow and hope to be down in time to meet you then. If you are unable to make it but still interested then you can join the whatsapp group.

Given the new rules on a second 'short circuit' lockdown likely to be stated by Boris Johnson today on addressing parliament. The club, in consideration of members, will be conducting all of its training via zoom and providing training videos so that players can train with those in their student halls, or close circle of friends until such a time as we can be sure it is safer to hold in person training that is greater than 6 and have more guidance from the government or SOAS. We expect training to resume in person in line with the university baseball league in January. If the opportunity does avail its self to have in person training again sooner then that we will of course do so. In terms of the meet up today that will still go ahead, but future ones may well be online until further notice.
