Covid-19 Update

Baseball NSW having been closely following the actions of international and national sporting codes and advise that, as a governing sporting body, Baseball NSW will be postponing all baseball related activities from Wednesday, 18 March 2020 until, Thursday 30 April 2020.

This decision, in relation to the health and safety of our baseball community, has been given careful consideration by Baseball NSW Management and the Baseball NSW Board of Directors. Advice has also been taken from the Federal and State Health authorities as well as the World Health Organisation, all who have been advocating extreme caution and diligence. From within the sporting community we have taken on consultation from the Federal and State Government, Sport Australia, Baseball Australia as well as our State and Territory baseball counterparts. As a result we will also be postponing our non-essential static gatherings as a precautionary action to assist in stopping the spread of this virus to the most vulnerable members of our communities.

Baseball NSW are advising that we will cease all training, organization activities, team meetings, events, tournaments and competitions during this period. Baseball NSW would therefore require that all our member clubs and associations do the same.

In addition to our regular baseball, this will affect the postponement of the following major events:

• • 2020 Australian Women’s Championships - scheduled for 10-17 April 2020, has been postponed until further notice

  • 2020 Performance Pathway Program – scheduled trials for this were planned for April but will now be postponed into May

  • 2020 Super Series – scheduled to begin 19 April through to 31 May has been postponed until further notice

  • 2020 Charter Little League State Championships

    • 2020 Junior and Intermediate League State Championships – scheduled for 10-13 April, this has been postponed until further notice

    • 2020 Little League State Championships – scheduled for 16-19 April, has been postponed until further notice

    • 2020 Senior League State Championships – scheduled for 21-24 April, has been postponed until further notice

  • 2020 State League Finals

  • 2020 Womens League Finals

  • 2020 Winter League Competitions – scheduled to begin in April will be postponed until Saturday, May 2nd

What does this mean for our Association: -

• Rescheduled grand final games this weekend - CANCELLED

  • the rescheduled grand finals will be treated as Abandoned Games, and

  • the team first into the Grand Final will be awarded winners. 

• Representative Programs

  • All training, scrimmages and team meetings etc are to be halted immediately.
