SPORTS IN GUILDFORD

GUILDFORD - THE HOME OF BASEBALL?


Guildford has a lot to offer the sports fan - whether watching or taking part.  The most famous teams from the area are Guildford Heat (basketball) and Guildford Flames (ice hockey).

 

But if you're just interested in a bit of fitness through exercise, we have lots of places to raise your pulse, from tennis courts and swimming clubs.  Also visit our page on gyms, yoga or pilates.

 


The Surrey History Centre has authenticated a 18th Century diary entry referring to a William Bray playing Baseball on Easter Monday 1755 - the earliest known manuscript reference to baseball in the world. 

Interestingly, Guildford is also credited with being the first recorded place of a form of cricket, known as kreckett - see the cricket section for details.
