Baseball Victoria is pleased to open playing and coaching expressions of interest for the 2022 Barclay Cup, which will take place at Surfers Paradise Baseball Club on the Gold Coast from 25 September through 1 October 2022.
A combined group of state participation managers created the Barclay Cup as a brand new national event for youth girls in honour of Jacinda Barclay, who sadly passed away in 2020.
Rather than a state team v state team event, this tournament will encourage participation by welcoming multiple teams from each state depending on interest levels – each state and territory association is invited to send two teams.
“This is an exciting opportunity for youth girls in Victoria and around the country, especially in honour of such an inspiring figure in women’s baseball,” Baseball Victoria CEO Chet Gray said. “We hope to receive a high level of interest so we can further support a bright future for youth girls and women’s baseball.”
All female players who are currently League Age 13 through 16 are eligible to participate. The total cost per player is expected to fall within the $3,000 to $3,500 range and will be confirmed shortly, along with coaching staff and tryout/training schedules.
All interested players and coaches should submit their interest HERE prior to the closing date of Wednesday 20 July 2022.
