The Chelsea Dolphins Baseball Club are pitching a new summer baseball season shortly, with newly appointed Head Coach Trevor Johansen as leader of the pod.
In announcing Johansen’s appointment, Dolphins president Belinda Worton said the club was excited to have Johansen take the top gig, adding he was the perfect fit to lead the team into the future.
“Trevor has helped lift the club to success we haven’t experienced in over 10 years. With all four teams likely to make finals this winter, as joint winter coach, Trevor has done a remarkable job. Trevor is well placed to build on the momentum created by our previous summer coach of three years, Brendan Robinson”.
“Trevor has also single handedly driven the development of our junior program where we fielded our first junior team in over ten years along with four t-ball and coach pitch teams as well. He has also brought a number of young international players to the club and he has taken them from a single playing group to valued players now integrated into all four of our teams. We are thrilled Trevor will lead the club into the summer 2015/16 season as Head Coach”.
She added, “Trevor is really excited to take on the role as Head Coach at Chelsea Baseball Club. His main priority is the development of our senior players to take their games to the next level and win a flag. He will also continue his outstanding work on the growth of our junior program. Those who play with Trevor know he is extremely passionate about the game of baseball and Chelsea Baseball Club, and we are confident he will help lift the Club to new highs.”
“I'm honored and privileged to be the next head baseball coach at Chelsea Baseball Club,” said Johansen, life member of Chelsea Baseball Club. “Chelsea Baseball Club has a supportive and dedicated committee and great players that can win championships,” Johansen continued. “I am very excited and grateful for this opportunity and I want to thank the committee for believing in me to the lead the Chelsea Baseball summer program.”

At St Kilda, we’re delighted to announce our new head coach for the upcoming 2015/16 summer season is Brett Elliott.
Brett has played at St Kilda for the last 2 winter seasons and shown to be a young man with a lot of promise! His knowledge of the game is first rate!
Previously Brett was from Sydney and over the last 2 seasons has really embraced the club and its values.
As a player, Brett is talented, a number of Division 1 and 2 clubs have tried to poach Brett but he has stuck with St Kilda fortunately . He’s a pitcher that can throw at high velocity and control, excellent catcher and this season proved to be a more than handy short stop. A good bat too.
As a coach, Brett has worked with juniors at his previous club and we’re hoping he can utilise that experience to instruct, raise standards and improve our playing group.
We consider as a club to be very fortunate that Brett has accepted this appointment and a step forward for the club!
Summer season training kicks off on Sunday 30th August at Tom O’Halloran Reserve 11am – we hope to see all Saints there!
Thank you
St Kilda Baseball Club Committee

The Female Friendly Facilities Fund is part of the Labor Government’s $100 million Community Sports Infrastructure Fund, which is upgrading sport and recreation facilities across the state for all Victorians.
Other Community Sports Infrastructure Fund initiatives include upgrading cricket grounds and grassroots training facilities to keep up with spiralling participation rates, aquatic centres, minor facilities works and planning grants.
Local sports clubs deserve modern, safe facilities. The Labor Government promised them, and is getting on with delivering them. The Community Sport Infrastructure Fund includes $23 million towards community sporting facility projects across Victoria – and many are already under way.
The Labor Government is also rolling out 1000 life-saving defibrillators to local sports clubs across Victoria. Applications are now open. For more information or to apply online, visit www.sport.vic.gov.au
Quotes attributable to Minister for Sport John Eren
“Community sport is the heart and soul of our suburbs and towns. Labor promised to upgrade facilities for all Victorians, and we’re getting on with building them.”
“We are committed to giving all Victorians access to the sporting facilities they deserve. Not just some Victorians, not just the most gifted Victorians – all Victorians.”
“Women are joining grassroots clubs at record numbers, but too often their facilities are either rundown or non- existent. Every player deserves equal facilities.”
