Winter League | Forest Baseball Club

Forest Baseball Club fields a number of teams in the Manly-Warringah Winter Baseball League.

There are generally four or five grades in the Winter League, ranging from experienced and highly competitive baseball in 1st grade, through to a very social level of baseball in 4th (or 5th) grade. Forest will field teams in every grade.

The graded competition is structured to offer participants of all levels of ability (beginners to representative level players) an opportunity to experience playing baseball at home on the Northern Beaches with limited travel. Most games are played at Aquatic Reserve Baseball Park in Frenchs Forest, Rat Park in Warriewood or Abbott Road in Curl Curl, with some played at Balgowlah Oval in Balgowlah.

Games are 2 hour timed games played at 12 noon and 2.30pm on Saturday or Sunday afternoons.
