The Piedmont Regional Committee of the Italian Baseball and Softball Federation (FIBS) has scheduled the 2026 edition of the Piemonte Baseball & Softball Awards for Saturday, November 21, at the Palazzetto San Bernardo in Castellamonte.
Castellamonte hosts regional youth celebration
The upcoming ceremony in Castellamonte continues a tradition established by the FIBS Regional Committee in 2022. Since the inaugural event, the awards have followed a rotating schedule, having previously been hosted in Novara, Fossano, Vercelli, and Avigliana. The project was designed by regional leadership to move the celebration through different local communities, a strategy intended to highlight the social impact of clubs that collaborate with local institutions to promote baseball and softball.
Awards for athletes and regional teams
The program for the November 21 gathering includes recognition for youth squads that secured victories in regional competitions organized by the FIBS Piedmont Committee. Organizers also plan to honor athletes who represented Italy on national teams, alongside young players identified for their growth and development during the season. Beyond the competitive awards, the event acts as a central hub for technical staff, families, and local societies that support the sport throughout the year.
Event timeline and historical context
The Piemonte Baseball & Softball Awards have become the primary end-of-season fixture for the regional baseball community since their inception four years ago. By shifting the venue annually, the committee aims to strengthen ties between the sport and the local municipalities that host the festivities. The event at the Palazzetto San Bernardo represents the latest checkpoint in this ongoing effort to integrate youth athletic development with community engagement across the Piedmont region.
