Pirates Baseball Club is powered by the dedication of volunteers. Senior players are required to support the club throughout the season by assisting with:

• Scoring

• Grounds and game-day setup

Volunteering helps keep our club running smoothly and strengthens our club culture — many hands make light work.

Moving into senior baseball — or joining a club for the first time — can feel daunting, but Pirates Baseball Club prides itself on being welcoming and supportive.

If you’re:

• Stepping up from juniors

• Returning to baseball after time away

• Completely new to the sport

C Grade (14+) is designed to help you learn the game, build confidence, and enjoy baseball in a supportive environment. Coaches and teammates are there to help, and the focus is on development and participation.

You don’t need to have all the gear or years of experience to get started — just a willingness to learn, be part of a team, and have fun.

If you’re unsure which grade is right for you, our coaches and committee are happy to help guide you.
