Softball Australia recently completed the last of five Under-14 Development Camps held in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia. 

The purpose of these Development Camps was the dedicated development of our aspiring Under-14s who were nominated by their states, with some of the best coaching and guidance our country has on offer.

Led by National Men’s & Women’s Head Coach, Laing Harrow, each camp was also fortunate to include coaching from players of both Spirit and Steelers teams, as well as members of our national group of coaches within their respective state.

Alongside the performances of eligible players (born 2009 or later) at the Under-16 National Championships, the Under-14 Development camps were also a selection event for a touring squad that will compete at the 2023 Easter Classic in New Zealand. 

The Easter Classic tournament has a focus on the development of competing players as well as their skills and game knowledge, while providing valuable experience to our players who may be travelling for the first time to compete. 

We are pleased to announce the following squads that will be travelling to participate in the 2023 Easter Classic in New Zealand.

Once in New Zealand, each squad will be split into two boys’ and two girls’ teams to participate in the tournament. 

We would like to thank all players who attended the camps, and to all the coaches and volunteers who assisted for their valuable contribution across all the camps.
