About Bhutan Baseball and Softball Association (BBSA)
Established in 2021, the BBSA is the official governing body for Baseball, Softball, and Baseball5 in the Kingdom of Bhutan. In just a few short years, we have grown from a hopeful idea into a vibrant movement.

Our Mission: To promote and develop the sports of baseball, softball, and Baseball5 at all levels throughout Bhutan, using them as tools for youth development, community building, and fostering holistic well-being.
Our Objective: To provide every young Bhutanese with the opportunity to learn, play, and excel in these beautiful games, regardless of their background or location.
Our Values: We believe in Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, and Inclusivity. We are committed to creating a positive and supportive environment where young athletes can grow not just as players, but as confident and responsible individuals.
This is where the future of Bhutanese baseball and softball begins. Not in grand stadiums, but in the quiet, high-altitude valleys, with one child, one bat, and one perfect moment of discovery.
Our Impact & The Need for Your Support
Today, we have over 3,000 children registered with our programs, with nearly 1,000 kids actively participating in Thimphu alone throughout our annual calendar.
Each year, we run 10 core programs and leagues, including:
U12 School Baseball & Softball League
U15 School Baseball & Softball League
U18 School Baseball & Softball League
U15 Baseball5 Youth League
High School Baseball5 League
Summer & Winter Development Camps
While we are proud members of the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) and the Bhutan Olympic Committee (BOC), we receive minimal financial support specifically for our youth programs. We have been fortunate to receive in-kind support from individual donors and organizations, but these resources have largely been invested in sustaining our programs within Thimphu.
This is where we need your help.
To truly fulfill our mission, we must expand beyond the capital. We dream of creating equal opportunities for youths in districts across Bhutan giving them the same chance to fall in love with this game and learn its invaluable lessons.
Turning Dreams into Reality
What was once an impossible dream is now a dream of possibility. The world is taking notice of baseball and softball in one of the smallest countries on the map.
In 2024, we witnessed 12 of our children travel to the USA—for all of them, it was their first time on an airplane. One of our own players even earned a spot to play in a summer league in China. These experiences are transformative.
With your support from this campaign, we can:
Fund equipment and training for new leagues in remote districts.
Cover travel costs for coaches and officials to conduct clinics across the country.
Provide uniforms and essential gear for children who cannot afford them.
Organize inter-district tournaments to foster national unity and friendship.
Aspire to inspire hundreds more youths to dream big.
Please help us ensure that the crack of the bat and the joy of the game can be heard in every valley of our happy nation.
"Where Happiness Hits Home" – your support helps us build that home for countless children.
Donate Today and help us shape the future, one pitch at a time.
