Noosa Softball welcomes players for new summer season

Noosa softball will be played under lights this season.

The summer season of softball in Noosa starts on 7 October, with new and experienced male and female players from four to 15 years of age welcome to join.

Games will be played every Wednesday evening at the Noosa Softball grounds, Noosa District Sports Complex, Butler Street, Tewantin (off Noosa-Cooroy Rd), and registrations are now open.

Noosa District Softball Association president Richard Wakeham said junior games would be played under lights this season for the first time.

“We’ve had lights installed at the grounds and are trialling mid-week games for the first time, instead of the usual Saturday morning games,” Richard said.

He said competition will be played under Softball Queensland’s COVID-Safe plan.

Mixed competition is played in Under 12s, Under 14s and Under 16s, while Little League teaches four to seven-year-olds the basics of the game.

Little League games will kick off the competition each week from 4pm.

Equipment is available for players if they do not have their own, and training is available from qualified coaches.
