25.01.2022 A big heartfelt hug to coach James Hall and his family after the passing of James’ mother earlier today. Karsten, Levi, Elyse, Jensen, Leah and James have all been part of the club for a few years now. On behalf of the club, we extend our thoughts and prayers to the Hall family.

24.01.2022 That’s four Coaches Corners in the books. If anyone is interested in joining us on Thursday nights from 9-10pm for some of the latest insights, demonstrations and coaching resources, let us know and we will send you the link to join. Beepbeep!

24.01.2022 Under 14 Diamond Valley tryouts are happening this Sunday. A great experience for those who tryout, whether you make it or not.

23.01.2022 Congrats to one of our Tball Smash coaches, @Libby Fisher. Not only does she choose to help our tballers learn how to hit, catch and throw a ball on Friday nights, she is making a big difference for animal wellbeing in Victoria. She is one to keep an eye on if you are looking for future leaders or role models for your kids. Well done Lib!!

22.01.2022 Hi All, We hope you are keeping well. Thought it would be timely to update you all on the pending pavilion build.... There have been some delays caused by the modular builder & Banyule Council not communicating during the permit application stage. Unfortunately this has lead to a sizable delay. We now have a tentative timeline to begin site works late September and have the new rooms completed late November. We are mindful this may impact on our ability to host our junior Summer program and are taking steps to ensure we have temporary facilities available during the construction phase so that the impact on the club is minimal. Delays were to be expected and we are still very excited about what these new facilities mean for a club of our size and cannot wait to be using them later this year. Stay safe, Stay well, Stay in touch and we will see you back at the ballpark very soon #Beepbeep Paul Crundwell PRESIDENT

22.01.2022 We are very fortunate to have these three young, energetic, confidence-building baseball gurus lead our young guns and install the Research Way for the upcoming summer season. Good luck to this year's Little League Majors as they take to the field for their season opener on Sunday, December 6th. Tickets are going quick so get yours now! If you know of who would like to give baseball a try, tag them in this post and they can visit www.juniorbaseball.com.au for more details o...r email us at [email protected] Beepbeep!

22.01.2022 If looking for some training ideas during lockdown, you can get 50 wiffle golf balls for $19 on eBay. A broom stick or piece of PVC pipe can serve as a great bat. And these balls don’t break windows! #beepbeep https://www.ebay.com.au/i/163932505767

21.01.2022 The final i's have been dotted and t's crossed to lock in these three smiling faces to lead our Intermediates this summer. The kids are in good hands with these three, and no doubt will have an all-star'n'fun calibre type of year. Good luck to the gang, and similar to the Little League Majors and Jr League squads, tickets are still available for December 6th's season opener. Contact Ticketmaster for more details. LOL #Beepbeep

05.01.2022 If you a) like baseball and b) like Pearl Jam, you may like this song written as part of one our juniors' school tasks. Song: Black by Pearljam Bases on an empty field... And deserted batting cage. Blades of grass blow in a breeze Where players once slid. My teammates would chant my name, for me to round the base. To score a big run. Now the game I love and I breathe is something I yearn. Oooooahhh..... And the game I thought was everything. Ooooaahhh..... I know I crave the game. That's for sure. If you've got other baseball stuff the kids develop, please share them as we could all use a little more baseball than we've been getting. If anyone from the club, MLB, or Baseball Victoria knows Eddie Vedder or others from Pearl Jam, flip this onto them. We know Eddie is a Cubs fan, but I am sure he would be a Roadrunner supporter and put these lyrics to good use. #Beepbeep.

04.01.2022 The summer season is well and truly on its way. A great effort from all 18 coaches, 6 scorers, 6 team managers and countless trips to parks across Melbourne from all families. Have a great break, stay safe, jolly and enjoy catching up with friends and family. We will see you all back in mid-January with the season picking up again on 17 January. Beepbeep!
