The following positions are now vacant:
All nominations for these positions are to be received no later than 28 days from the date of this notice. These are important positions for the smooth operation of our charter and filling all positions is a priority before the start of the 2021/22 baseball season as we move to the return of normal activities. All members of the listed clubs are eligible to nominate and fill these positions. For enquiries related to these positions or to nominate for any role please contact the Charter Secretary at Secretary.Firebirds@gmail.com. Liam Hendriks has been named to Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game for a second time.
The 32-year-old West Australian will feature in the 2021 All-Star Game at Colorado’s Coors Field next week after becoming the first Aussie to be selected twice. David Nilsson (Milwaukee, 1999) and Grant Balfour (Oakland, 2013) were both selected once while Hendriks made his first appearance in 2019 as a then member of the A’s. His selection is reward for a strong start to his first season as a member of the Chicago White Sox after signing a $70 million ($US54 million) three-year deal, with an option for a fourth, in January. Hendriks has converted 21 saves and compiled a 2.57 ERA with 53 strikeouts and only four walks over 35 innings. He will be once of three players representing the American League Central leaders after starters Carlos Rodón and Lance Lynn were also named. The 2021 All-Star Game is scheduled for July 14 at 9am AEST. Click HERE to read more on this huge accomplishment. Registrations are now open for the 2022 Pony Girls Futures and Pony Girls League Programs.
The BWA Pony Girls League will offer all females of League Age 13 to 17 the opportunity to play in a "league of their own" (age as at 31/8/22). Please note the maximum program age has increased to 17 years old for this season. In 2021/22, games will commence in mid-November and conclude prior to Easter. All players will be able to select from a menu of available clubs who have advised BWA they are interested in fielding a girls team. Pony Girls Futures is for female athletes aged 10 through 13 years old and will take place across October & November. Pony Girls Futures regos close 15/9 and Pony Girls League regos close 17/10.

Following the inaugural Senior Baseball Club Championship, Baseball WA has gathered feedback as part of an overall event review including a new format for 2022. The tournament format has been expanded to include a qualifier, allowing eight teams to participate whilst still maintaining a main draw of five teams which worked well this year.
With Easter being the middle weekend of the school holidays, the qualifier is set for the weekend of 2-3 April, while the main draw will be the first week of school holidays over 8-12 April. This will assist Hedland in having players available, and these dates will also avoid clashes with State League 1 finals due to the limited availability of Empire Ballpark and players coaching in junior finals. “We are excited to deliver the Senior Baseball Club Championship again in 2022,” Baseball WA Participation Program Manager David Hayes said. “The feedback we received from the first tournament was great, and we look forward to providing an expanded tournament format to give more players from State League 3, A Grade, and Port Hedland the chance to be involved.” |
