About Us
Rounders England is the sport's governing body in England. 

Based in Sheffield it provides a structure for the sport from the Board, county associations and clubs right the way through to individual members and volunteers. 

We are responsible for the management and training of the England squads and work alongside the other home nation governing bodies to provide competition opportunities. 

Rounders England also co-ordinates a development network that provides a pathway for aspiring players to progress from schools and clubs to the national squad. 

In addition, we provide information about the game, run coaching and umpiring courses, tournaments, sell resources and promote the sport at all levels. 

Structure

Under the direction of the Chief Executive, who in turn reports to the Board, there are staff leading on development, events and competitions, performance, coaching, umpiring and the infrastructure.
There is also a series of sub committees responsible for each intervention in our Whole Sport Plan, made up of volunteers and staff.
