hile there are plenty of opportunities to watch various professional sports in South Korea, for some of us, watching is just not enough. Granted, not everyone can play professionally. For those everyday folks out there looking for a league or club to join - or for those who are just looking for local sports clubs to support - here are just a few options available.
for everyone Seoul Baseball League Started in 2011, the league’s season runs from March to June with a final championship at the end of the season. The teams are all sponsored by local bars and meet up at Gwacheon Government Complex. It’s too late to join as a player this season, however there are still opportunities to go watch games and support the teams. For more information on the league, visit its Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/seoulbaseballleague
