Dear members,
This week brings the return of Junior baseball to the competition. Our Juniors have been working very hard in the academies and pre-season this year, and we are sure they are looking forward to getting into game mode.
Women’s League and T-Ball is still a couple weeks away. With T-Ball starting their Come and Try sessions next week.

T-Ball Come and Try
It’s nearly that time of the year! We will once again be hosting our program for Under 8s and Under 10s to get involved in T-Ball. T-Ball is a great introduction for bat and ball sports, and many of our club’s players started out in our T-Ball program or its predecessors.
Come and Try dates will be on 17 and 21 October from 6pm. Tell your family and friends and spread the word!
We require help from coaches, players or parents to assist at stations on this night. Please let Bob Neiswander or the club know if you are able to assist on one or both these nights.
