What’s On

Summer Slam (Guideline DOB: 1 Sep 2015 to 31 August 2018)

What it is: The Summer Slam is a game-only Tball competition (i.e. there is no training). All players bat in every inning and outs are not-enforced. Scores are not kept and there is no competition table or finals. The concept is to allow all players to participate equally and learn the basics of the game.

When it is: Wednesday evenings at 5pm for 10 weeks during Term 4 (starting 11 October and running until 13 December 2023). 

Where it is: Aquatic Reserve, Frenchs Forest (fields next to Warringah Aquatic Centre)

Cost: $170 (or $96 for existing players already in our Futures, U8 or U9 teams) with all equipment provided (bats, helmets, balls, tees, etc). Using an Active Kids Voucher can reduce the cost to $120 (or $46 for players already in our Futures, U8 or U9 teams). New players to the club get a free first glove, cap and Forest top to wear in games – that is worth the cost of registration alone! 

A bit more info: Fun and social for both parents and children, this is the perfect option for those older Futures wanting to test themselves in games, our U9 players looking for extra games in a less competitive environment, or kids that do other sports on Saturdays looking to give the game a try. Umpires will encourage the children to learn the rules of the game by explaining what is happening on the field as they play. Parents are welcome to get involved to encourage the children.

This competition has been introduced for two key reasons: (1) to offer a non-competitive bridge between the Forest Futures skills program and the U9 Tball competition; and (2) to allow players that may not be able to participate in Tball on Saturdays to give the great game of baseball a try with an entry level game option.

Feel free to reach out to Mike our Registrar (registrar@forestbaseball.com) or John our Secretary (secretary@forestbaseball.com). We are always happy to talk through the best options to ensure your child loves every second of summer baseball!

Registrations for the new 8am-9am Futures session on Saturday mornings are now open (8 week program running from 14th October to 2nd December).

For any questions, please email Mike (registrar@forestbaseball.com)

Please get in quick to register for the program as based on EOI numbers we have limited spaces left. Details will be sent regarding uniforms fitting/pick up once registrations close.

Saturday, 9th September marks Opening Day for Summer 2023/24. 

This is just a trial round and a great chance to get back on the diamonds and blow out the cobwebs – or for some – play their first ever game!

We are also very excited to be unveiling three new life members during a brief presentation at 10.10am.

Please note that whilst we had to shut down the registration portal, we are still accepting registrations for both Futures (8am session) and Intermediate League (U12/13 Wednesday night baseball). Please email our registrar (Mike) @ registrar@forestbaseball.com.

With the Club continuing to grow from strength to strength we can’t wait to see everyone back at Aquatic in a sea of green next Saturday!
