As we are all now aware, South Australians are in day 3 of a 7-day lockdown imposed by State Government in order to combat the escalating COVID-19 outbreak in SA. Whilst we are in the baseball off-season, there are still a number of programs and competitions that are in full swing at this time of the year that will be impacted.

With full cooperation from the South Australian public, we hope that we can stop this spread dead in its tracks an resume business as usual as quick as possible.

As a reminder, the current restrictions in South Australia are:

Only five reasons to leave home:
- shopping for necessary goods and services
- 90mins of exercise with people from your household (within 2.5km radius of home)
- caregiving/compassionate/medical reasons
- essential work or permitted education
- getting COVID-19 vaccine or testing
Stay at home
No community sport
Masks must be worn in public places and outdoors if physical distancing is not achievable, unless an exemption applies.

Stay safe, stay in touch and follow all directions as issued by the South Australian Government.

2021 AUSTRALIAN MASTERS GAMES

Hey batter batter! It’s time to take a swing in Baseball at the 2021 Australian Masters Games.

Taking place at Baseball Park in Thornlie from Saturday 9 – Saturday 16 October, your team will have plenty to do between games, with the Opening Ceremony at Optus Stadium on 9 October, Our mid-week beach barbie at Port Beach on 13 October, and our Closing Ceremony at WA Museum Boola Bardip on 16 October.

There is even better news if your team registers with minimum numbers before close of Early Bird Entry (Friday 30 July), as you will go in the draw to win one of three $500 Sports Centre vouchers to go towards a custom uniform, or merchandise. See our website for competition terms and conditions.

Rally the troops, and let them know it’s time to train for this year’s Games.
