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.
Baseball Queensland’s preferred supplier, Leading Edge Sports, can assist with providing advice and delivery of equipment!

Scoring
Scorers are our statisticians, our scorekeepers. The key to confirming a win vs a loss.
Keep an eye out for the next scorers clinic or reach out to Queensland Baseball Scorers (QBS) to make your interest known.

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 the Queensland Baseball Umpires Association (QBUA).
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!
