LET'S PLAYBALL
Discover the Power of Baseball and Softball at Playball Europe
Welcome to Playball Europe! For over 31 years, we've been an international academy for baseball and softball where passion and personal attention come first. Despite our growing popularity, we keep our groups intentionally small to ensure every player gets the coaching they deserve. Here, quality always beats quantity (PERSONAL ATTENTION).
Top-Level Coaches Our coaches are more than just instructors — they are elite players from the Dutch Major League, the National Team, and several American leagues. They bring real-world experience to the field, offering tailored training for specific positions and individual needs.
Outstanding Facilities in Amsterdam-West Playball Europe boasts a top-notch location with four fields: two senior fields (one with turf), a large junior field, and a Little League field, as well as 3 outside covered batting cages. We also offer an (winter) indoor facility with turf, a batting cage, and a fitness area. Overnight stays take place in the indoor hall, which provides direct access to locker rooms and restrooms. Fresh meals are prepared daily in our professional clubhouse kitchen.
Softball Summer Academy 2026 Exciting news! In 2026, we’re bringing back our popular Softball Summer Academy. Softball is a fast-paced, exciting sport that continues to attract young players. Our program offers the same challenging and comprehensive experience as our Baseball Summer Academy.
A Week Packed with Action and Fun At Playball Europe, you'll experience an unforgettable week full of sports and excitement. Each day kicks off with an intense warm-up and running drills, followed by position-specific training, game situations, base running, and expert coaching from talented instructors. After lunch, we switch to hitting clinics, a fruit break, and daily games.
Evening Activities and Highlights Evenings are all about fun and relaxation, with activities like fun games and more. Our traditional Playball Grand BBQ on Wednesday night is a crowd favorite, where parents and family are warmly welcome. The night wraps up with the thrilling final Homerun Derby.
On Friday, we end the week with a festive closing ceremony. Head Coaches address their teams and present certificates and personal awards — an unforgettable moment for every participant!
