New baseball season in Ukraine will contain numerous spectacular events. This summer, baseball fans will be able to cheer up their favorite teams at the Beach baseball tournament which will be held in Chornomorsk city.
Usually, such tournaments were led by Ukrainian baseball and softball federation, but this year Ukrainian beach baseball federation will be responsible for the organization of the competition. Beach baseball federation was established at the end of the last year.
The start of the Beach baseball tournament is set on June 29th and finals will take place on the 7th of July.
Classic baseball appeared in Ukraine in the late 1980s. And in 2012, Chornomorsk city hosted the first beach baseball competition.
«We are planning to come in line with the USA. In America about 1 200 teams participate in similar events. As for us, we have eight teams in our league. Also, we are planning to invite baseball teams from Moldova and Belarus»- said Stanislav Bakan, the president of the Beach baseball federation of Ukraine.
It should be noted that the rules of beach baseball are different from the classical one. In particular, players have other equipment and usually play without gloves, except women’s teams. In addition, the regular bats are replaced by softball ones or by bats for children.
