Try Baseball 2010
The Saints are looking forward to starting the next Summer Season with the always popular Try Baseball days. These are fun days that provide a free introduction to baseball.
This year Try Baseball will be held at Pioneer Park, Marsfield on Sunday 1st August, and Sunday 8th August. The sessions will run between 12:00pm-2:00pm.
Try Baseball is the best opportunity for kids who have never played baseball before to come along and have a go at throwing, catching, hitting and running. The activities are primarily intended for primary school kids, but teenagers and adults are welcome to come along and find out what the Club offers them. Newcomers and experienced players are all welcome!
All the equipment required, including gloves and bats, is provided. Participants just need to wear warm clothes and a pair of running shoes. They are also encouraged to bring along a group of friends!
We will need as many members as possible to help out on the day. Please come along from about 11:00 (in uniform if you have one!) if you can help.
Try Baseball provides an introduction to baseball. The actual format of baseball varies depending on the age of the children involved. For the younger players there is an entry level format called 'Lightning League' that teaches the basic skills. From this level the kids move onto 'T-Ball', then 'Zooka' and finally 'Live Ball'.
Newsletter for June now available

Sam Giulieri to Represent Australian Baseball
Congratulations to Sam Giulieri and his family on his selection into 2010 Australian Baseball’s Cal Ripken squad. Sam will be travelling this August to Aberdeen, Maryland USA, to represent Australia in the Cal Ripken World Series event.
Cal Ripken World Series is a week long junior baseball tournament bringing the 10 best teams from regions across the United States to compete against international teams from Australia, Canada, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico and the Republic of Korea.
Many previous Cal Ripken representatives have gone on to play for Australia at higher levels, with eighteen former players having since embarked on professional baseball careers.
Sam started playing baseball with the Macquarie Saints at 5 years of age in the U7’s and has continued through our junior ranks to U12A & U14A Grade teams. In recent years he has also represented Ryde Hornsby Baseball League in U12 State Cup and U14 Development Leagues.
Particular thanks to Sam’s pitching coach and long time club mentor Steve Sims, who along with Sam’s family has supported his baseball progress over the years.
Well done Sam and best wishes with the coming World Series !
