Bhutan Baseball & Softball Association (BBSA) is the national governing body of baseball and softball in Bhutan and founded by Karma Dorji and long-standing resident, Matthew DeSantis (American). BBSA oversees the development of “diamond sports” across the country, organizing senior and youth baseball camps, sessions, leagues and national competitions.

We are an officially affiliated sports association with the Bhutan Olympic Committee and also a country member with the World Baseball & Softball Confederation and the Baseball Federation of Asia.

The BABL currently consists of one division, the Thimphu Amaetur Baseball Division (TABD), with 5 schools, 90 student athletes, 15 officials and volunteers. Games will be hosted at Changangkha Middle Secondary School and Dechencholing Higher Secondary School, abiding by COVID protocol.

The league consists of a regular season and playoffs, totaling 3 months and all the games are played during weekends with an official game being 7 innings in length.

The league’s objective is to develop and prepare young players aged 15 and under for dzongkhag clubs and senior leagues whilst promoting the health and social benefits to playing baseball and softball in Bhutan.

In addition to our league sponsor, Nangyi Aum Restaurant, we would like to thank our team sponsors, Bhutanese friends from Australia, United States of America, RSEB, Bhutan Foundation and our crowdfunding sponsors.
