Baseball Victoria is excited to share that the 2021/22 VSBL season fixtures are now live as we look forward to our highly-anticipated return to play next month.
After the challenges of an extended lockdown, followed by our safe return to training upon hitting Victoria’s vaccination targets, the Victorian baseball community will officially return to play on the weekend of 13-14 November for the start of the 2021/22 VSBL season.
Geelong Baycats charter competitions will start next week on Wednesday 3 November 2021 following the earlier return to training in regional Victoria.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews confirmed the return to community sport competition after reaching the 80 percent double dose vaccination target. Baseball Victoria is awaiting further clarifications from the government on the updated COVIDSafe settings and directions before finalising our Baseball Victoria Return to Play COVIDSafe Plan.
“We can’t wait to get the 2021/22 VSBL season underway and we know how patient our baseballers have been, waiting for lockdown to end so we could get back to the sport we love,” Baseball Victoria Interim CEO Gemma Scales said. “The wait is nearly over and we are looking forward to a safe and successful summer season that brings the grassroots baseball community together after all the ups and downs of this pandemic over the last 18 months. We will continue to follow all Victorian Government guidelines to confirm COVIDSafe measures for our return to play and ensure we all stay safe on the field.”
The home and away season will conclude on 12-13 March 2022 with grand finals scheduled for 26-27 March 2022.
