Baseball Queensland Partners with Sport4All to Champion Inclusivity and Diversity
Baseball Queensland Partners with Sport4All to Champion Inclusivity and Diversity
Baseball Queensland is excited to announce a new partnership with Sport4All, a program dedicated to making grassroots sport more inclusive across Australia. This partnership aligns perfectly with Baseball Queensland’s goals of evolving, engaging, and connecting within the sport. Sport4All, developed through a collaboration between the Australian Government, the Australian Sports Commission, and Dylan Alcott’s consultancy, Get Skilled Access, aims to make sport accessible to everyone. This award-winning program focuses on creating opportunities for people with disabilities to fully participate in and enjoy sports.
By partnering with Sport4All, Baseball Queensland will develop and diversify playing opportunities, introduce innovative approaches to sustain and grow baseball in Queensland, and improve the experiences of the baseball community. This collaboration will also help Baseball Queensland engage with stakeholders to develop strong partnerships, promote baseball as the sport of choice, and foster a culture of respect, diversity, and inclusion.
This partnership with Sport4All aligns perfectly with their goals, as both organisations are dedicated to creating a future where everyone can enjoy the benefits of sport, regardless of their abilities.
“At Baseball Queensland, we believe in the transformative power of sport to unite communities and foster inclusivity,” said Gareth Jones, CEO of Baseball Queensland. “Our partnership with Sport4All represents a pivotal step towards creating a more inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of ability, can experience the joy and camaraderie of baseball. Together, we are committed to breaking down barriers and ensuring that our clubs are welcoming and accessible to all. This collaboration underscores our dedication to promoting diversity and inclusion, enriching the lives of individuals and strengthening the fabric of our community.”
Sam Cawdron, Game Development Manager at Baseball Queensland, added, “I’m thrilled about our partnership with Sport4All and the opportunities they provide. Inclusivity in baseball extends far beyond just getting more people to play the game. It’s about creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong, whether they’re playing, helping in the canteen, keeping score, managing teams, umpiring, or providing off-field support. By collaborating with Sport4All, we’re helping ensure that our clubs are inclusive on and off the field, providing multiple opportunities to help create a community and foster inclusivity to all.“
Sport4All, a national award-winning program, is dedicated to promoting diversity and creating opportunities for people with disability in all aspects of sport. Through education, training, and resources, Sport4All empowers sporting organisations to create welcoming and inclusive environments for everyone.
“We are very excited at Sport4All to partner with Baseball Queensland to support a great sport, with their vision to build their confidence and capability with disability inclusion,” said Kim Abbott, Sport4All State Sport Inclusion Coach for Queensland. “The Sport4All program provides education, training, and resources that are available to the Baseball Queensland community to provide guidance and support, as well as empower associations, clubs, and members about the value of including people with a disability through all levels of baseball.”
Sport4All empowers local clubs, schools, and communities to embrace diversity. Managed by people with lived experience of disability, Sport4All brings valuable insights and promotes inclusive practices. This partnership will provide resources and training to local clubs, ensure people with disabilities can participate in baseball, and raise awareness about the importance of diversity and inclusion. Baseball Queensland is committed to setting a standard for other sporting organisations, showing that inclusive participation benefits the entire community.
Together, Baseball Queensland and Sport4All are dedicated to creating a future where everyone can enjoy the benefits of sport, regardless of their abilities. This partnership is not just about changing the game; it’s about changing lives.

Baseball Queensland Appoints Danny Maruyama as Special Advisor for Partnerships – Japan
Baseball Queensland is excited to announce the appointment of Danny Maruyama to the newly created role of Special Advisor for Partnerships – Japan. This appointment recognises Mr. Maruyama’s outstanding contributions over the past 40 years in fostering strong ties between baseball in Queensland and Japanese baseball organisations. Danny Maruyama has played a crucial role in building and nurturing relationships with various Japanese baseball entities. His extensive network and deep understanding of Japanese baseball and culture have significantly advanced Baseball Queensland’s initiatives.
His key contributions include,
-Facilitating communication and meetings with Japanese high school baseball teams and associations
-Organising international visits and exchange programs for teams and coaches
-Providing cultural and linguistic assistance to ensure smooth interactions
-Promoting Baseball Queensland’s initiatives within Japan
Danny Maruyama’s efforts have already brought tangible benefits to Baseball Queensland, including successful exchange programs and increased visibility within the Japanese baseball community. Mr. Maruyama was integral to the establishment of the Robina High School Baseball Excellence program with the program’s field named in his honour, acknowledging his substantial contributions. Mr Maruyama also played a key role in establishing agreements between Baseball Queensland and Japanese High School Baseball Federations that have provided high quality games for our Queensland teams in preparation for the Australian Youth Championships over an extended period of time.
We are confident that Danny Maruyama’s appointment will further solidify our international partnerships and continue to bring mutual benefits to both Baseball Queensland and the Japanese baseball community.
Max Durrington signs with The Athletics
Baseball Queensland is thrilled to celebrate Max Durrington’s incredible achievement. At just 17, Max from Surfers Paradise Baseball Club has signed a significant contract with The Athletics which comes with a signing bonus believed to be over seven figures (AUD) – one of the largest for a first professional contract in Australian baseball history.
Max has always been around the game, growing up playing baseball with his Dad in Queensland and participating in Baseball Queensland programs. He first played competitive baseball as an eight-year-old at Mudgeeraba Red Sox Baseball Club where he played Rookie Ball and Little League. He then moved to Surfers Paradise Baseball Club at eleven. Max has represented Queensland at the U16 and U18 national championships and has been a part of Baseball Queensland’s Performance Pathway programs.
His talent was first noticed by Athletics scout Dan Betreen at the 2022 U16 Championships. Max’s performance at national events made him one of ten Australians invited to an MLB select trip to play in front of scouts and colleges in the United States in 2023. Max made his A-Grade debut in the Greater Brisbane League at just 15-years-old in 2022-23. He finished the 2023-24 season second on the team with a .400 batting average in 33 games. Max led the team with 20 stolen bases, while also chipping in four triples.
He says his relationship with Surfers Paradise infielder Andy Cosgrove played a big role in his development. “We would compete for who could have the most triples and stolen bases,” says Max. “Andy is a former professional baseball and is very athletic. He pushes me a lot.”
The drive, work ethic, and talent were noticed by Baseball Queensland Performance Pathway manager, Shayne Watson.
“Since entering the BQ programs four years ago, you could easily identify Max’s drive & ambition which has led to this day. Not only is he a special talent, but he’s highly motivated and a great person in a very supportive family,” he says.
“He’s drawn a lot of attention from scouts and college recruiters. I’ve been in a fortunate position to be part of Max’s development and witnessing his journey. I’m positive he will thrive in the Athletics system and I will enjoy watching his journey.
Your Baseball Queensland family is incredibly proud of you, Max. Here’s to your continued success and the exciting future ahead!

$200 FairPlay Vouchers are Still Available!
The allocation hasn’t been exhausted yet – but they’re expected to run out by mid-August, so secure your voucher now.
You don’t need to claim them instantly, so grab one and then hold onto it – they can be redeemed up until June 30, 2025, so you can use them for a Summer OR Winter season!
Increased from $150 to $200 with 150,000 vouchers available for ANY child aged 5-17.
Find out more below:
How to process FairPlay vouchers:
- Clubs will be required to setup an individual coupon code for each member who wishes to register with a FairPlay voucher.
- Where club fees do not meet the $200 amount, please reach out to admin@baseballqld.asn.au to discuss potentials for capturing the full value.
Capitations Released (Membership Fees Released)
This year, there have been a few changes for the upcoming season to make the registration process through Game Day even easier.
The approved capitations are shown below and have been added to Game Day.
The changes for this year:
- Replacement of the GBL Womens only Season with the Female Adult Seniors product (one fee for the whole year)
- Removal of the GBL Womens 10-week Short Season – which wasn’t used last year.
- Removal of the SQWBL specific fee to increase compatibility between membership types throughout the year.
- A $3 Baseball Australia fee increase and a $5 Baseball Queensland fee increase (our first increase in 2-years!)
These fees have been finalised for the full September 1st 2024 to August 31st 2025 period, which means that our Winter leagues are able to determine their fees now for next year if they wish.
How does the new Female Adult Seniors Product work?
Using the ‘Filter’ menu, clubs can select a fee specifically for Females.
The positives of the new Female Adult Seniors product:
- Simple single fee available for all females to cover the entire membership year (access to Summer, Winter seasons, no additional tournament registrations to compete in Womens or Masters State Titles)
- Reduced BQ fee to encourage female participation
Our current membership split is 81% Male to 19% Female. Therefore, female registrations are approximately $30 cheaper. As the percentage approaches a more even split between the two genders, the discount will reduce.
Clarification for Masters Program Fee
- Masters memberships are for members 50+, Baseball Queensland has made this change to align with Baseball Australia
- Members purchasing the Masters BA/BQ capitation will only be eligible to play in Masters competitions. (GBL Masters Div 1, 2, 3, GCBA Masters (Winter), Masters State Titles, etc.) and will need to use 2024/2025 Baseball Queensland Masters Competition Form (#115823) .
- Players aged 50+ who wish to play in other competitions (Adult Seniors Divisions) will need to purchase an Adult Seniors membership on the 2024/2025 Baseball Australia Membership Registration Form (#115072).
- Club fees don’t affect capitations/insurance, and as such, clubs are free to continue discounting memberships for 35+ if they wish to do so
This membership type is classed as a ‘Program‘ membership.
For more information on the capitation products, please visit the Resources page. The document is located under the ‘Fees’ tab.
SQWBL fee Removal?
In previous years, a discounted fee was offered to assist in the establishment and early growth of the Southern Queensland Winter Baseball League.
The league has managed sustained growth year-on-year, and with changes to the function of the GameDay registration system, some changes have been forced.
We will be working with SQWBL in the lead up to the Winter 2025 season to ensure that we deliver a seamless registration experience for new and existing members while still supporting the growth of the competition in years to come!
Game Day
Follow the 2024/2025 setup steps for your club, region or competition on the Game Day page here:
Attention: Greater Brisbane League (GBL) Clubs
Thanks to changes made via Baseball Australia over the past 12 months, we have been able to deactivate the duplicate clubs we used for the GBL competition last year.
This means no more player transfers between two version of a single club – all of your teams are accessible in the same place that your players register – less confusion!
The only caveat to this process is that GBL need to create the teams from their side (and assign them to your club). We will release further details of this once confirmed, expecting that this will occur in August in preparation for team nominations to be finalised.
Volunteer Blue Card – New BQ Policy
ALL volunteers within Baseball Queensland, it’s clubs and regions will require a current and active Blue Card moving forward.
Please see the new policy here, or follow the link to begin your Blue Card application:
Game Plan – Baseball Australia Requirement
For the 2024/2025 Season, it is a requirement that ALL Clubs create an account on Game Plan and complete their Club Profile.
We would encourage our Regions to also create an account as the self assessment tools will still relate to your level and may provide opportunities for improvements that you can share with your clubs and implement as a collective!
Failure to meet targets may result in lower funding for Baseball Queensland, necessitating higher capitations for upcoming membership years, so pretty please create your accounts.
Brisbane Bandits Club Connect
We’re working with the Brisbane Bandits to build better connections between our Clubs and our local Australian Baseball League team!
Stay tuned for more information on the program and how the Brisbane Bandits can get involved with your club.

2023 EAP (Brisbane & Gold Coast)
2023 EMERGING ATHLETE PROGRAM
Designed to lay the foundation for aspiring athletes who align with Baseball Queensland’s Performance Pathway, the EAP program aims to enhance the skills and development of players from Little League to U18.

By focussing on enhancing baseball tools and fundamental movement patterns, this comprehensive program will propel young athletes on a trajectory of continuous growth and progress.
The EAP is dedicated to delivering targeted instruction, and to achieve this, participants will be divided into groups based on their age and skill level. This grouping strategy ensures that each athlete receives instruction tailored to their specific needs and progress.
