The junior programme was its focus but they also had a few adults signing up.
"The adult team is in its early days at this stage. We took a team away to Orewa last year ... but there's plenty of interest, I think because softball used to be such a big sport here but there hasn't been any for quite some time so people are really missing it," he said.
"But the junior programme remains the focus and Sunday was about letting people know about the move to Tikipunga this year and just letting kids have a go with a bat and a ball."
He said the move to Tikipunga would make it easier for the kids from the northern suburbs to participate.
"We've had good support from places like Tikipunga and Kamo and when we worked out that it was just as close from Whangarei Intermediate to Tikipunga as it was to William Fraser Park, that was the kicker for us," he said.
Getting the primary schools to enter teams was a focus for organisers so they could build on the eight teams from last year.
