Baseball come and try

Coaches and kids of Sunshine Coast Baseball from Caloundra to Noosa and the hinterland are hosting a Come and Try day for kids from four-years-old to adults to experience the fun of baseball.

The Come and Try Day at the Sunshine Coast’s only club is the perfect opportunity to come along to the fields at Mudjimba (which were used as a training ground for the Japanese and South Korea teams for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games) and see what it’s all about. Meet the coaches, players, volunteers and have a swing.

Attendees can try out some skills and drills with coaches and players who will be taking people through warm-ups, batting, base-running, and some pitching and catching too. Baseball truly is the sport for everyone – there’s a spot on the field for you.

There are plenty of volunteers on site to help you get signed up on the day, with prizes to be won as well.

The Brisbane Bandits have very generously provided signed merch, and Leading Edge at Redcliffe have also donated prizes and will bring their mobile store full of gear.

Come and Try Day is great fun for our junior players – and the day will kick off for them from 10am until noon on Sunday 31 August at North Shore Multisports Complex at Mudjimba. The bigger kids and grown-ups can have a hit from midday onwards.

Volunteers will be on the barbecue all day to keep visitors happy and fed.
