Uniform and Equipment
All players are requested not to wear a club or association
uniform cap or top. Please wear suitable baseball clothing and a training top
or tee-shirt.
Players need to bring all personal baseball equipment
for their positions including, gloves, helmet, bat, full catcher’s equipment,
etc.
Drinks and sunscreen is not supplied during the
trials.
Cost
The costs associated for players selected in either of
the teams will be confirmed once further details are received from the ABF,
however we estimate the cost per player will be $1,800 - $2,000.
The ABF have employed a Registration and Participation
package for all National Championships, which usually include accommodation,
meal and ground transport arrangements for all teams, plus other tournament
costs. Included within this, the ABF has installed a 'Fare Equalisation Policy'
which attempts to ensure each player, regardless of their geographical
location, pay an identical amount for their travel costs to attend a National
Championship.
Any costs that the ABF request Victorian teams to pay
to participate in a National Championship shall be portioned between the
players without additional margins other than costs incurred directly by
Baseball Victoria outside of the ABF package. Baseball Victoria costs typically
include additional food and beverage requirements, fuel for ground transport,
coach payments and costs, trials and training costs, uniform hire and launder
and equipment supplies such as baseballs and helmets.
