The penultimate event, the Nyanza Series, will be held on April 10 and 11 at a venue to be confirmed, before the season concludes with the Central Series at All Sports Academy in Thika on May 15 and 16.
BFK Leagues and Competitions Committee chairman Elphas Ong’ong’o said the rotational format was designed to give teams regular competition while taking national-level baseball to different regions.
“The programme is also intended to strengthen regional baseball structures, increase competitive exposure for players, improve technical standards, support talent identification and provide a consistent national competition pathway,” said Ong’ong’o.
He urged all BFK-affiliated teams to participate consistently throughout the series, saying the rotational format would give different regions opportunities to host competitive baseball, engage communities and stakeholders, and encourage the establishment of clubs, academies and youth programmes.
