SOUND LIKE THE CLUB YOU BELONG AT?
HAVE QUESTIONS? MAYBE THESE WILL HELP.
DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?
NO. MANY OF US HAD NEVER PLAYED BASEBALL BEFORE JOINING THE CLUB. WHILE YOU WILL BE DEVELOPED BY SOME OF THE BEST COACHES IN THE COUNTRY, WE'D LOVE IT IF YOU FAMILIARISED YOURSELF WITH THE VERY BASICS OF THE SPORT LIKE THROWING AND CATCHING BEFORE COMING TO ONE OF OUR SESSIONS.
DO YOU ACCEPT TRANSFERS FROM OTHER TEAMS?
ABSOLUTELY. WE'D LOVE TO HAVE EXPERIENCED BALL PLAYERS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A CHANGE.
I DON'T WANT TO PLAY. CAN I STILL BE INVOLVED?
DEFINITELY. WE HAVE A NUMBER OF ROLES THAT VOLUNTEERS CAN HELP US OUT WITH. YOU'LL BE A PART OF THE TEAM JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE.
HOW OLD DO I NEED TO BE?
OUR SENIOR TEAM IS AVAILABLE TO AGES 14 AND UP. FOR YOUNGER BALLERS AGED 9-13 WE HAVE A YOUTH TEAM. ATHLETES UNDER THE AGE OF 18 WILL REQUIRE PERMISSION FROM A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN.
IS THE CLUB OPEN TO ANY GENDER?
YES, ABSOLUTELY. ALL OF OUR TEAMS AT ALL AGE LEVELS ARE OPEN TO ANY ASPIRING PLAYER OF ANY GENDER.
DO I NEED MY OWN EQUIPMENT?
YOU'RE WELCOME TO BRING ANY EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE, BUT WE'LL PROVIDE ROOKIES WITH EVERYTHING THEY NEED.
DO I NEED TO PAY TO PLAY?
YES, ALL OF OUR MEMBERS PAY TO BE A PART OF THE CLUB. WE PAY ANNUAL FEES THAT CAN BE PAID IN ONE GO OR AS PART OF A STRUCTURED PLAN.

IS THE CLUB AFFILIATED WITH A GOVERNING BODY?
