METRO ORIGINS
In 1957, softball joined football at Metro College Sports Club when a couple of the winter code members asked to bring their favoured summer sport into the club. Today Metro Softball is a proud subdivision of what is now known as The Metro Mt. Albert Sports Club Inc.

NOT FOR PROFIT
Metro Softball is a not-for-profit organization run entirely with the support of volunteers.
Fees collected under our transparent system are set at levels to cover basic sport costs only. A small portion of the fee aligns us to The Metro Mt. Albert Sports Club and stays in the club for administration and operational costs. The majority of the collected fee goes directly to the Auckland Softball Association for costs associated with playing organised softball in Auckland. Fundraising and donations cover all other expenses.
