Winter baseball wants you!

Winter season is starting soon - April 17 2010! After the St Kilda winter team took the flag in E-grade competition last year, we're looking to enter 2 teams in this year's competition. (most likely 1 in D-grade, and 1 in E-grade) Winter ball is a great opportunity to try new positions, especially pitching. Or if you're just looking to learn the game, or keep your arm rolling over through the winter months, join us! Games are played on Saturday afternoons. Home games will be at Albert Park, with the two teams playing back to back. Away games are likely to be at separate venues. Fees are lower too. (approx $200).

If you are interested in playing, please email us on info@stkildabaseball.org.au

Pitchers coaching with Dave White Thursday Oct 22
A must for all pitchers and aspiring pitchers! Dave White was great last year in providing tips and new ideas to experienced pitchers as well as those just starting out. Some background on Whitey - he coached Victoria and Waverley for several years - current coach at Greenhills Montmorency (winter club).  He pitched in ABL ball with the Waverley Reds, minor league ball with the Chicago White Sox - as high as AAA level.

Food provided tonight and every Thursday night after training
Highlights and awards from last week’s games as well as this week’s team selections ill be announced from 8 O’clock. . Topolinos will be providing pizza, pasta and salads arriving at that time, all for the incredible value of $9 for all you can eat. All those that were at last week’s season launch will know that the spread Topolinos put on is sensational.

So even if you can’t make training come down to the club rooms at 8pm, have a delicious dinner, a few beers, and hear all about how good the Saints are! If you do come to training make sure you stick around and support your club.
