Who are we?
RAZORBACKS is the name given to our teams. It is a wild pig of America, something like a wild boar. The wild boar is a well-known animal in our region. The first pitch of "Rollinat" on which we played before was destroyed by wild boars ! When we chose this name for the team, we did not know that the Brive town hall would give us this pitch, probably a predilection site?
The Brive Baseball Club is based in Brive-la-Gaillarde, Corrèze (19). The club was found in October 2009 and we are 40 members nowadays.
Philosophy
We want to expand the practice of BASEBALL and CRICKET for everyone, girls and boys, from 7 to 77 years old.
We regurlarly take part in encounters and games against other clubs, particularly clubs of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. We take part in promoting actions which allow us to get our club and our sport talked about ("Brive plage", "forum des associations",...).
Baseball and Cricket are both sports which can be played by anyone, small and tall, young and adults, girls and boys. Everybody is welcomed, beginner as well as experienced players. Our goal is to practice Baseball and Cricket but also to introduce these sports to people. Within the club, there is a friendly and family atmosphere that we like to share.
What equipments?
To begin, you do not need expensive equipments. The price of a baseball glove for "beginner" can go from 25€ to 60€. We can provide the baseball bats, balls and all other particular equipments (helmet, catcher's outfit).
You just need to get a sport outfit and socks, a cap (for outdoor trainings), and for people concerned you will also need a cup.
Then, each player can buy their own baseball bat and glove with a higher quality.

Le bureau
President 2018, Natacha VERGNE knew how to surround herself with great people ! Denis SALON, vice president, Nathalie BRAUGE, secretary, and Tony MAILLET, treasurer. The team is completed with volunteers.
Our club is part of a real associative dynamic because the bureau is made up of players and parents of players.
Some members have already had trainings to learn how to keep scores and arbitrate. But we would be happy to welcome people with knowledge in these areas. If this is your case, do not hesitate and get in touch !
