Our Goals and key initiatives

Last season was our largest ever, with increasing participation in baseball on the Sunshine Coast. To ensure we are continually improving upon what already exists, the SCBA committee, officials, and volunteers are working towards four main priorities.

  1. Field maintenance, improvements and expansion.

  2. Sponsorships, grants and fundraising.

  3. Organisation and communication.

  4. Social events, tournaments and presentations.

Field maintenance, improvements and expansion

Baseball fields take a lot of work to maintain. The SCBA is focused on significant upgrades for the 2026/2027 season.

Current Field Improvements

  • Replacing or repairing the netting and removing graffiti from all team dugouts.

  • Improving water drainage on all fields.

  • Building dirt cutouts on our junior diamonds.

  • Raising the cutout dirt levels to be even with the grass.

Future / Major Initiatives

  • Replace fencing + add gates to junior diamonds

  • Dig home plate cutouts on all junior diamonds

  • Build a new fence between our main and secondary diamonds.

  • Build a grandstand and shade cover for the main diamond.

  • Re-launching our email newsletter for both juniors and seniors.

  • Maintaining active social media posts throughout the off-season and into 2026.

  • Openly sharing key contact people within our organisation.
