Oklahoma City Spark To Play In ‘Royal Spark Challenge’ With Great Britain Softball This Summer

The Oklahoma City Spark has announced on Monday that they will be playing in a two-game exhibition series in July against Great Britain Softball.

The Spark will take to the field on July 6 and 7 at the National Baseball and Softball Complex at Farnham Park in Buckinghamshire.

Both games will be open and free to the public.

Great Britain Women’s Senior National Fastpitch Softball Team Head Coach Tara Henry released the following statement with the announcement:

“To beat the best, you have to prepare against the best. The Royal Spark Challenge gives us that opportunity and is just the beginning of a long-term partnership between Great Britain Softball and the Oklahoma City Spark. In preparation for the 2023 Softball World Cup, we could not think of a better training partner to prepare our squad to compete against some of the best teams in the world. We can’t thank the OKC Spark enough for making the journey over to Great Britain to further grow and develop the sport of softball, not only in the United Kingdom but in Europe and across the rest of the world. “
