Softball Australia has taken on feedback from the Softball Community, and we've now created a comprehensive development plan with a variety of competitions outlets for players who are Under 14 and Under 16 in the coming year.

Calendar of events:
 

2022 Talent Camps, September:

• Attending players are invited by Softball Australia from the cohort that competed at the recent Nationals
  • Under 14s (30x Boys & 30x Girls)
  • Under 16s (30x Boys & 30x Girls)
• Date: 22 Sept -25 Sept 2022
• Location: Sunshine Coast Qld: Apex Camps
• Cost: $500, and includes all tuition, food board and kit (Flights not included).

Players will be asked to arrive on the morning of the 22nd Sept, and Softball Australia will be working with our partner SportsLink to ensure flight options are available as soon as possible. All players will be responsible for their own flights, but Softball Australia will facilitate Airport Pickups and Drop offs for those flying in between a certain timeframe. Softball Australia will also support those in WA and elsewhere that may need to travel earlier due to distance. Further information will be sent when it becomes available. The current 2022 Under 14 and Under 16 squads that have been selected from the April Nationals will recieve invitation correspondence from Softball Australia before the end of next week. PLEASE NOTE: School holidays fall over different dates across the states. We have worked hard where possible to not impact state programming.
