A BASEBALL club is hoping to cultivate some stars of the future with a season of new training sessions for youngsters in the district.

Waltham Abbey based team the Essex Arrows, in partnership with Epping Forest District Council, will run weekly classes for children of all abilities aged between seven and 12.

The club was founded over 25 years ago and has two adult baseball teams, which were last year promoted to the UK's national league.

The sessions start on Saturday June 12 and will run every week between 11am and 1pm.

The club is based at the Baseball Diamond, Town Mead Leisure Park in Brooker Road.
