A lot has happened on the sports field at the Altdorf middle school in the last few weeks: With a lot of effort and effort from the players of the Icesharks baseball team, the area was transformed into a multifunctional playing field and is now ready for the Ice-sharks’ first baseball season will start here in May.
Only the safety fence is still missing in the Altdorf Ballpark and the lines on the field still have to be installed. All four bases, the running lanes and the sanctuary, the pitcher’s mound, shine brightly in the freshly laid turf.

Traditional sport in the USA

Info:
The Icesharks were founded in 2006 by Kurt Moser, who hoped that the move from Eismannsberg to Altdorf would generate more public interest and, above all, more young talent. In addition to the adult team, the Ice-sharks have youth team B (twelve to 15 years old), which plays in the state league. On Friday, April 26th, there will be a free information event in the TV 1881 sports restaurant (Heumannstr. 5) at 5 p.m. where the rules will be explained simply and clearly. Immediately afterwards, the young players will demonstrate practical examples on the sports field next door.
