Many primary schools are playing stoolball for the first time this season. Most have little or no budget for equipment and need donations to get started. If your team has any spare bats which it can pass on, whatever their condition, they are needed urgently. Please get in touch.
The National Stoolball Association (NSA) has plenty of spare older balls and Keith Younger has been restoring some old wickets for us, but all of our spare bats have already been donated to new teams. If you can help, please get in touch with Kay Price.

Ever wondered where you could get a new stoolball wicket? You don’t see them on sale often, so why not build your own?
We’ve added a simple guide for how to do it on our Buy equipment from Stoolball England page, so there’s no reason not to make it your next DIY project. I’m tempted to have a go myself – why don’t you?
