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.
