to
the website of the Geelong Baseball Association (GBA), which conducts
one of the
premier
winter competitions in Victoria Australia.
Established
over seventy years ago, the GBA offers senior and junior competitions
to clubs and teams from
metropolitan
Geelong, Colac, Werribee, Bacchus Marsh, Lara and Ballarat.
Since
the magnificent Waurn Ponds Baseball Centre was opened in 2002, Geelong
has attracted numerous major
baseball events, including
Provincial series, international matches, two Japanese training camps,
international "Friendship" games, AAA series and Masters series. Such
events are promoted and delivered jointly by the Geelong Baseball
Association, the former Baseball Geelong Inc. and tenant clubs, often in conjunction
with Baseball
Victoria.
Baseball is in
a generally very healthy state in the Geelong region, with increasing
numbers of our emerging junior
stars
signing professional contracts or accepting college scholarships in the
United States.
With
its outstanding facilities, its proximity to Melbourne and popular
tourist destinations, Geelong is ideally
placed
to host major baseball events, with exciting announcements to
be made over coming months.
In
consultation with other stakeholders, the Geelong Baseball Association
is committed to the development of
our great game through
maintenance of a competent, progressive administration and the
provision of
professionally conducted local and affiliated
competitions and events at all senior and junior levels.
