The Croydon Pirates Baseball Club was established in 1981. We're a welcoming and  inclusive club of dedicated and talented players from all over the world. In addition to competing at three levels in the British Baseball Federation (National Baseball League, Division 3 and Division 4), we also run a Baseball for Beginners programme to help new players with the fundamentals of the game, as well as a youth baseball programme, the Parrots. ​

​

New players of any skill level, including beginners, are always welcome to get in touch.

​

Our home games and practice sessions take place on the three baseball diamonds within Roundshaw Playing Fields (CR0 4RW) - see the photos below.

 

Access to the fields can be found at the end of Hannibal Way, which is a short distance off the A23, Purley Way. At the end of Hannibal Way, you'll find a white access gate onto the fields, next to the pavilion. Follow the footpath past the football field for 2 mins and you will see the fenced diamond on your left, and the open diamond on your right.

 

​Parking: We advise you to park on Hannibal Way near the Powerleague centre and walk the rest of the way. Adjacent to the pavilion is a parking lot, but as this lot is a private and ticketed part of the David Lloyd Gym, which you should you do not enter. ​

 

Transit: The nearest train stations are Wallington and Waddon, with East Croydon being the closest National Rail station hub. The 157 and 154 buses pass along Stafford Road from West Croydon and Crystal Palace, while the 119, 289, 663 and 455 provide nearby service from Bromley North, Elmer's End and Morden. Alternatively you can take buses that drop you off by the Croydon Aerodrome Airport or Costco, where there is an interconnecting walkway toward the field.
