Junior baseball games are typically played on Saturday afternoons at Jabiru Park.

Game length and format vary depending on age group to ensure games are fun, engaging, and age-appropriate.

• Buddy League & Modified T-Ball: Shorter games with a strong focus on participation and enjoyment

• Little League Minors & Little League Majors: Structured games with increased skill development and rules

Game times and fixtures will be confirmed once the season draw is released.

Junior teams train once per week.

Training days are Wednesday afternoons at Jabiru Park in Condon, with times confirmed closer to the start of the season, based on team numbers, age groups, and field availability.

Training focuses on:

• Skill development (e.g., throwing, hitting, catching, running)

• Game awareness and teamwork

• Building confidence and a love of the game

We offer junior baseball programs for a range of ages and experience levels:

• Buddy League (3-6 year)– introductory baseball for our youngest players

• Modified T-ball (6-8 years) – a transition from T-Ball to live play (hitting from a tee to live hitting).

• Little League Minors (8-10 years) – structured baseball with modified rules

• Little League Majors (10-13 years) – advanced juniors preparing for higher-level play

• C-Grade (14+) - please refer to senior competition page for more details

Age group allocations are based on age cut-offs and registrations and will be confirmed prior to the season.
