Player Eligibility

All players MUST meet the following requirements:

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 any Victorian U16 or U18 Team will be confirmed once further details are received from the ABF, however we expect the cost per player to be approximately $2,900 (including uniform.)

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.

If you need any further information please contact Baseball Victoria on 9645 8000.

The findings of the high performance review will be announced by the end of September (following our Board's next meeting.)
