New club baseball team will meet tonight


A new club sport is taking form at the University of Kansas.

The Kansas Club Baseball team will prepare to start its premier season with an informational meeting tonight. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. in room 202 of the Rec Center.

Anyone is permitted to participate in the league. Participants who intend to play must commit to fundraising events as well.

Despite the team’s club-sport category, it will be like any other baseball team. The team will be part of the NCBA (National Club Baseball Association) and compete in the Mid-Plains Conference. Other members of the conference include Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and Iowa State.

Although its season does not start until this spring, the baseball club will still be active in the fall. They plan to have practices one or two times a week for a month, and then have tryouts during the beginning of November.

If anyone cannot attend the meeting, questions can go to BJ Rains at stlku27@ku.edu.
