The Summer season runs from October to March across Metro Melbourne plus Geelong, Albury Wodonga & East Gippsland. 

Mostly played on Saturdays, there are also mid-week options. Summer Softball is played by all ages, all abilities and offers an inclusive, family friendly environment.

Softball is a sport that can be enjoyed by everyone, starting as young as 4 years old...

Home Run Heroes (aged 4-10) Participants play T-Ball and modified softball games in a fun and friendly setting. The sessions run for 1 hour over 6 - 8 weeks – with the emphasis being on teamwork and game play. 

Modified Softball is for graduates of the tee ball program, and is recommended for 10-12 year olds. It is part of the local association competitions where children play organised games as part of a club team.
