What is Spond?

​As the club has continued to grow we have made the decision to utilise Spond as a tool for members to manage their interactions with the club and allow us to keep in touch with you all.

 

All members must sign up to our Spond club here in the link above.
 

You will need to install the Spond app on a mobile device. The links to the App Store and Google Play can be found on the homepage of Spond's website here: https://www.spond.com/.

Spond is a recognised leader in sports club administration and is already used by the British Baseball Federation for organising and coordinating with clubs. You can expect to see all the relevant information for your team activities, as well as details of club events, and be able to mark your availability -- all in one app.

London Mets Sports Access Fund

We understand there is a need for some members of our community for flexibility and financial assistance to ensure they are able to play baseball. 

 

This year we have set up the London Mets Sports access fund. The fund will have a panel of three board members who will assess applications of hardship or financial difficulty. The board of directors have set aside a funding pool called the Sports Access Fund. We will be publishing more information regarding this on our website.

 

In the meantime, please contact treasurer@londonmets.org if you require assistance and we will assess on a case by case basis. Please do not contact until you have received confirmation you have been rostered to a team.
