Juniors General Information

Registration for Junior Baseball will open soon. Fill in the form below to find out more information and be alerted when registration opens.

Pittwater Baseball Club welcomes anyone aged 4 years old and above to join the club and play.

As a general guideline children fall into the following age groups:

• Age 4-6: Rat Packers in-house 10 week T-ball program
• Age 6-8: Under 8 and Under 9 T-ball
• Age 9-10: Zooka ball (machine-pitched)
• Age 10-15: Baseball (player pitched)

To align with the Little League age brackets globally, for the 2026/27 season Baseball NSW player league ages will be determined by date-of-birth between 1st September to 31 August of the following year for all BNSW competitions.

BNSW competitions are therefore based around a child’s ‘League Age’. To determine your child’s League Age, BNSW has issued an age matrix. We stress that club competitions, such as the Manly-Warringah Junior Baseball League ultimately retain a level of flexibility around which age division is most appropriate. 

For more detail around each age group including uniform requirements, game time and duration and fees – please complete the form above.

Pittwater Rat Packers T-ball is a fun intra-club T-ball program run for younger and/or first time players. It generally runs for 10 weeks from early October – December.

During the program the players will start by learning the basic skills of throwing, catching and hitting off a baseball tee. As the program progresses the players move on to playing mini-games. The games are designed so that everyone gets an opportunity to bat and field in every innings and the focus is purely on having fun and ensuring the children develop a love of the game.

Beyond our Rat Packers program players then move into our Tee-Ball competition played against other clubs in the Manly district on a Home & Away basis.  All clubs in the Manly district are within 15km’s of our home ground so travel for games is kept to a minimum.

T-Ball progresses from Rat Packers with games, teams swapping between batting and fielding after three outs per side, or after 6 runs are scored.

After players have experienced and learned the basics of the game in T-Ball they progress to hitting a moving ball. In order to keep the speed of play and allow for everyone to have a chance we use soft balls thrown by a Zooka machine.

Game times: Saturday 8.15am

Training days and times for U9 and older grades is subject to availability. Once the teams are formed your coach or manager will contact you with training option(s) and based on the majority of the team, a day/time will be determined.

We do note that the club does its best to ensure that every team has a coach with some background in the game of baseball, however this cannot always be guaranteed. The Manly-Warringah District Baseball Association runs ‘Coach the Coaches’ courses at the start of every season and Baseball NSW offers a range of coaching courses (Level 1/2/3/4) to assist parents develop their knowledge of the game and coaching abilities.

Generally Pittwater Baseball Club has fielded a team in every age group, however this depends on the number of children registered for each division. Some age groups may be amalgamated to form teams.
