Looking for a fun, active way to spend your summer? You've come to the right place! At East Coast Bays United Softball Club, located on the beautiful North Shore of Auckland, we're all about enjoying the game, making new friends, and building a community.

Whether you're a young player just starting out (we welcome kids from as young as 5!) or a seasoned pro, we’ve got a spot for you! From our junior teams to senior grades – both social and competitive – there’s something for everyone at ECB Softball.

Our season runs from September to March, and we play at the fantastic North Harbour Softball Association grounds at Rosedale Park in Albany. It’s the perfect way to get active, enjoy some friendly competition, and make lasting memories with your family.

We’re incredibly proud of our dedicated coaches and hard-working committee who make sure every player has a blast while developing their skills. In fact, our commitment to excellence has earned us some amazing achievements, including being named Softball New Zealand's Club of the Year 2022/23, with our own Suzette Taylor receiving both Volunteer of the Year and the prestigious Softballer of the Year awards! Not to mention, we've taken home the North Harbour Top Club Trophy for the last two seasons in a row!

So, if you’re looking to join a fun, welcoming club with a winning spirit, we’d love to hear from you! Have questions? Want to give softball a go? Drop us an email – we can't wait to welcome you to the ECB family!
