Canterbury softball has been awarded a $400,000 grant to help build a new indoor training facility at Cuthberts Green in Christchurch.
Canterbury Softball Association general manager Anthea Stringer told Lesley Murdoch the New Zealand Community Trust grant will go towards the cost of building the centre, which will be designed to give softball players of all levels a dedicated space to train and play in.
The training centre will feature three dedicated hitting and pitching lanes, complete with mobile nets that can be transformed into a versatile 35m x 15m space.
State-of-the-art Trakman cameras will provide comprehensive analysis for both pitching and hitting, catering to those seeking a high-performance training experience.
Clubs, schools, and community groups will also be able to access the facility, "transforming it into a centre for engagement, activity, and connection", Stringer said.
