Softball Australia Member Benefits
Softball is a sport for all Australians, providing a unique opportunity for individuals of any age, gender, skill level or fitness level to play a fun and engaging sport in their local community.
Softball is so much more than swinging a bat or catching a ball; it is a true family recreational activity that provides a positive experience at club level across the country.
