U16 and U18 - Players born in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012

EOIs CLOSE TUESDAY, 30 JUNE 2026

U14
The competition will introduce a revised format this year, with a stronger focus on player development through a skill-based instructional approach centred on learning and improvement. Each session will feature structured training activities designed to build core baseball skills including hitting, fielding, throwing, pitching, and game awareness before progressing into a full game where players will return to their drafted team and can apply these skills in a competitive environment. This half training/half game model promotes participation, confidence, teamwork, and long-term athletic development while ensuring the competition remains enjoyable, engaging, and educational for all players.

U16/U18
The competition will once again feature doubleheader Sundays for the combined U16 and U18 age groups, creating a stronger and more competitive environment that will challenge and benefit all participating athletes. This structure provides players with an excellent opportunity to showcase their abilities while competing at a higher level, helping prepare them for the upcoming season and future representative pathways.

Great to see Sienna, Poppy, Kyori and Amelia playing Winterball for Robina Braves!

If you are playing Winterball feel free to send through your snapshots 📸

Go Rays!

Braves are back!

Shout out to the newly formed 'all-female' Robina Braves Baseball Club team! 🙌⚾️

And what a roster! From WPBL and Emeralds star Molly Paddison, Queensland reps Hannah Elliott, Sally Knechtli, Charlotte Stokes, and Ashley Ruzika, to youth women’s state reps and rising stars. Managed by Molly, and supported by Shelley Smith managing the squad, we love what they're doing on the field.

But off it they’re connecting the girls in amazing ways. A new tradition will see each player design a personal sticker badge for their cap. Representing family, heritage, personal milestones, or causes they care about, these badges are all about building identity and starting conversation.
