Congratulations to all the players selected in each Team. The successful 2021 State Titles has been used a platform to kick start a revamped Female Performance Pathway framework. Throughout 2022 we will see several programs being delivered for our Open and Junior Female players.
We will be entering two teams in the Open Australian Women Championships (15th – 21st April) with a vision of development towards all aspects of baseball whilst offering additional playing opportunities for our players. This year we will be entering a QLD Maroon Team and a QLD Development Team. The Maroon Team is the final 18 player roster, with our Development Team selected as a squad initially and will be finalised throughout February.
In addition to this is identifying juniors (Little League to Senior League) earlier in the year and inviting players into our BQ Girls Development Program. The first event in the calendar for our BQ Girls Development Program will be the Baseball QLD Div II State Titles (Easter School Holidays).
Additional information will be sent to the selected Open Women’s (Maroon and Development Squad) players shortly.
Information for our BQ Junior Girls Development Programs will be sent early January.

In addition to the Showcase games, every player will participate in a Showcase on field testing session using modern technology to assess arm velocity, bat exit velocity, running speed and defensive abilities.
This schedule completes an actioned packed two weeks of baseball which also includes the Brisbane Bandits three game series (17th, 19th and 21st December) and their ‘Fun in the Sun’ Camp along with Baseball Queensland Open, Youth Women and Girls State Titles (17th – 21st December).

Ranging from our Youth and Girls at the State Titles to our highest level athletes competing in the Brisbane Bandits three game series and everything in between. If you are a baseball fan, I am sure it won’t be difficult to catch a game over the next two weeks”
