Following the announcement of the cancellation of the 2021 Australian Youth Championships (U16 and U18 AYC’s), every state will be hosting their ‘in house’ event throughout January. Baseball QLD will be running their event on 14th – 19th January 2021 at All Stars Baseball Club, Bannister Park. This event will have our selected QLD squad’s face off against each other. Both programs have already commenced their preparation and will continue through the Christmas School Holidays. Each age group will be split into two (2) teams and compete against one another in a seven (7) game series throughout our QLD event. In addition to the seven (7) game series will be our inaugural QLD Showcase Day, with all selected players going through their paces in an on field baseball-specific testing session.
Given the flexibility of this event, every game will be using new technology that Baseball QLD has recently sourced and is currently being used within our Pathway Programs. Every pitch at bat will be recorded on Rapsodo along with high-speed footage being taken. All hitters will be using Blast Motion sensors along with every pitcher having access to Motus Sleeve sensors. Everyone is looking forward to this event whilst having access to this state of the art technology available to them.
Nominations are now open to fill 6 positions on the GBL Committee .
Nominations can be made by filling out the form below and sent to [email protected]
Regrettably, there has not been sufficient team entries to allow the QLD GBL SENIOR GAMES – Division 1/2; 3/4; 5/6 to be played on the 18; 19; 20 December 2020 to proceed.
The GBL Competition Committee will seek to offer this program as a pre-season tournament option in September 2021.
Thank you to the Clubs that replied – it would appear that the timing so close to Christmas was a significant factor in Clubs not participating.
QBUA is holding a Rules Training and discussion evening for all Community Level and above umpires where we will cover a mixture of the Little League Specific Rules and General Baseball Rules.
