The Club fields teams in all grades from A Grade through to Under 8′s. The Club’s colours are red, white and grey in keeping with the colours of the Licensed Club.

Competition
The competition commences around early October and finishes in mid to late March. Junior teams play Saturdays, Senior teams play on Sundays, at various venues around Canberra, but due to the number of games being played some are also scheduled for midweek evenings. Both competitions have a Christmas break with the seniors having two to three weeks off, and the juniors break approximately equal to their school holidays.

Training
Most senior training is held at Viking Park and junior training at Calwell Playing Fields. Training schedules are determined by coaches prior to the season starting.

Registration and Fees
Registration is late August or early September. Teams are usually decided by the first competition game, however, the Club will attempt to accept and place any new players throughout the season.

Membership
Membership is open to any resident of the ACT or surrounding areas. All senior players become members of the Baseball Club upon payment of their registration fee, as is one parent per junior registration. Non-players over the age of 18 can also become baseball club members for $5.00. Membership entitles voting at all Baseball Club meetings, including the Annual General Meeting.
