COME AND PLAY AT WAVERLEY BASEBALL CLUB
Come and be a part of one of the most successful baseball clubs in Australia
JUNIOR DETAILS
If you are looking for a Club for your child to play baseball in a safe, friendly, family environment with a strong cultural backdrop and that boasts a proven track record in developing players then you have found the right Club.
Ever since the Club was formed we have always had a focus on developing and maintaining a strong junior program. Waverley Baseball Club is renowned throughout the Country for its junior development program, which starts at T-Ball from 5 years old and extends through the various age levels to Under 18.
It is a well earned reputation as the Club places significant emphasis on teaching, coaching and managing young players realise their potential.
Waverley Baseball Club boasts more than 20 players who have progressed through its junior program and have graduated to represent Australia in senior national and international competition. A similar number have emerged from our junior program to sign professionally with a Major League Baseball team in the United States while about 50 players have moved through our junior program to attend College in the United States. It is a record that has no peer.
However, let there be no mistake about this, the Waverley Baseball Club loves success… but we will not sacrifice our fundamental principles of player development to achieve it!
Coupled with its formidable tutelage across all age groups is the facilities offered at our Napier Park headquarters, once again unrivaled.
We’d love to have you join our great Club.
SENIOR DETAILS
At Waverley we have a culture of success, but not at the expense of enjoying ourselves also. After-game events and meals after some training sessions allow players and supporters to bond together and feel part of a club, not just an individual.
We provide opportunities for players to compete at their own level. Details of our Summer and Winter programmes are detailed below.
Our Summer and Winter coaches (Adam Bright and Luke Hughes respectively) have both played baseball for Australia and professionally in the US. They bring with them a wealth of experience.
Our grounds are well maintained and we have batting tunnel and weight room facilities to help you build your strength and skills.
