A Special Thank You to the KNBSB

As we look back on the successful 2025 EBCA Convention in Antwerp, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Royal Netherlands Baseball and Softball Federation (KNBSB) for their partnership and support.

The KNBSB has long been a strong advocate for coach education and the development of baseball and softball throughout the Netherlands. Their support of the EBCA Convention helped strengthen the connection between coaches across Europe and contributed to another outstanding learning experience for all attendees.

We were especially proud to welcome Dutch coaches to Antwerp and to feature outstanding presentations from Dutch speakers who shared their knowledge, experience, and passion for the game.

On behalf of the EBCA, thank you to the KNBSB for their continued cooperation, support, and commitment to growing baseball and softball across Europe.
