The Queensland School Sport Baseball Events calendar has now been released by the Queensland School Sport Baseball Committee. The Committee are excited to add a 13-19 year old Girls tournament to their suite of events.

For those interested in participating in any of these events it is essential to seek the permission of your school and complete the nomination paperwork (returned through your school) so your attendance at the respective trial is endorsed by your school.

Queensland School Sport Baseball Committee member James Somerville advises “Most regions are now calling for nominations to allow for trials for the older age groups to take place early in Term 1 (2025).  I do know that some regions, have already commenced these trials (Sunny Coast).  It is advised that all players that are eligible contact their Sport Coordinator and see their School Sport Region’s websites for nomination and trial information.  Students are not able to just show up on the trial day.  They require nominations to be done through their school and district officials and also require Principal approval to attend.”

These events are delivered as part of the Queensland Representative School Sport program and as such are independent of Baseball Queensland. All enquiries should please be addressed to the Queensland School Sport Baseball Committee, your respective School Sport Region office or your child’s school administration.

The Queensland School Sports Baseball Committee have released the dates for the various 2025 Schools Baseball Tournaments as per below:

Baseball Queensland is delighted to announce that registration is now open for individuals interested in participating as Friendship Players in the 2024 Women’s, Youth Women’s, and Girls’ State Titles scheduled for December.

Friendship Players are individuals who want to participate in these important events but do not currently have a team to join. This registration opportunity allows these players to express their interest and potentially be matched with existing teams, promoting diversity within the sport.

Being a Friendship Player can offer significant benefits, both to the individual players and the teams. For individuals, it’s an opportunity to showcase their skills and be a part of the fun and inclusive atmosphere that these state titles offer. For teams, it’s a chance to fill roster gaps and strengthen their line-up with capable players, making it a game for all.

This initiative not only promotes individual skill development but also fosters camaraderie within the baseball community, reflecting the inclusive spirit of the sport. It’s an excellent opportunity for players to connect with fellow enthusiasts, regardless of their background, and share their passion for the game.

Baseball Queensland is thrilled to celebrate the nomination of 17-year-old Max Durrington for the Queensland Sport (QSport) Channel 9 Queensland Junior Athlete of the Year award. Max’s extraordinary talent and commitment to the sport are showcased through his recent signing with the Oakland Athletics—one of the largest contracts ever awarded to a young Australian baseball player.

The competition for the Junior Athlete of the Year award will be intense, with ten of Queensland’s best young athletes representing eight different sports, including baseball, tennis, AFL, swimming, hockey, basketball, skateboarding, and athletics.

Max’s journey in baseball has been inspiring, from his early days at Mudgeeraba Red Sox to his success with Surfers Paradise Baseball Club, where he became a team leader both on and off the field.

U18 Queensland Team Manager, David Badke, highlighted Max’s impact: “Max has a combination of talent, leadership, great work ethics, and brings a lot of energy to the team. Leading by example that inspired a team that lead to being awarded the Most Valuable Player. I am not surprised that he signed a professional contract with the Oakland A’s; I look forward to watching Max continuing his development on his professional journey.“

Max’s nomination for Junior Athlete of the Year is a well-deserved recognition of his hard work, skill, and the bright future he’s building in baseball. Baseball Queensland couldn’t be prouder and will be cheering for Max as he goes up against Queensland’s best young athletes on November 21.
