Player Costs
Baseball Australia and Baseball Queensland’s fees (capitations) represent a portion of your total registration costs, with North Queensland Baseball adding a small fee and clubs charging their fees on top.
Equipment
Some clubs will provide shared equipment for their teams or players, especially for our youngest age groups, so it pays to make contact directly with your club to confirm what they can provide.

Umpiring
Umpires lay down the law of the game, calling balls and strikes, fouls, safe or out.
Attending a Community Clinic is a great entry point for anyone wanting to umpire, while an Association Clinic is for those who hope to progress to officiate state and national events.
The website below provides progression and training information for Umpires from our state body theย Queensland Baseball Umpires Association (QBUA).

Cairns is administrated under it’s own Umpires Association, you can contact them via the Facebook page here.
Administrating
As a small sport, we heavily rely on people generous enough to lend their time to develop and maintain our clubs, their representative regions and to complete some functions at a state level.
You are highly encouraged to reach out to your club or region to understand where your skills can be best applied!
