MISSION To grow softball, for all, for life, together. VALUES We are inclusive, innovative, collaborative, professional and act with integrity. Level 1, Suite 2, 273 Wellington Street, Collingwood VIC 3066 t: 03 9417 0022 w: www.softball.org.au Softball Australia Ltd ACN 092 181 318 Image credit front cover: Sam Donkin Photography CHAIRMAN’S REPORT As I have in previous Annual Reports, I am providing a brief comment on progress against our Whole of Softball Strategic Plan, which provides the road map for collaboration between Softball Australia, Member States, associations and clubs on our key priorities. Our CEO Chet Gray will expand in more detail on each of these areas in his report. GROWING PARTICIPATION Minor decline in membership offset by a growth in overall participation Our number one priority continues to be to grow softball participation in Australia and we achieved that in 2016-17. While the decline in membership was disappointing, it reinforces that there are no quick fix solutions and we need to keep working hard to be more relevant in a very competitive sporting landscape. While we continue to see growth in new game variants such as Social 7s, we need to do so much more on the ground to leverage the Federal Government’s Sporting Schools Program. As we continue reinforcing, there are high levels of student participation through organised softball programs in schools and we must redouble our efforts to transition these participants through to organised competition. 2020 OLYMPIC GAMES Softball preparing for the 2020 Summer Olympics Momentum continues to build towards the 2020 Olympic Games. Australian softball has a wonderful Olympic record and we are working hard to ensure that our open women qualify, and then are podium potential. Given the rapid development of softball in other countries, we must be both creative and innovative in our approach to high performance to stay ahead of the pack. Most of our income is directly linked to our Olympic podium potential, so it is important that our women’s program continues to be competitive at the highest level. While we have seen a decline in income this year, we continue to work closely with the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) to ensure that softball receives the maximum funding possible. That said, it continues to reinforce the need for us to source sustainable non-government revenue through sponsorship – or better – via commercial products such as Social 7s. CLUBS AND ASSOCIATIONS Grassroots resourcing to ensure the sustainability of softball in Australia We remain committed to the development of clubs and associations as it is the only way to retain and grow membership at the grassroots level. This is the area of most concern as we have invested heavily in recent years in additional resources on the ground but are yet to see sustainable growth in membership. For this reason alone, we must challenge the sustainability of our existing model. We must be creative with potential alternatives such that we can better and more efficiently resource our key. If the current trend continues, our national footprint will be seriously compromised inside a three-year window. In closing, I’d like to thank Chet Gray for effectively leading our operational activities; the State Presidents and their Boards for their unity and commitment to softball in Australia; the Softball Australia staff for their Page 1 of 72 efforts and dedication; and to our volunteers – thank you for your continued support. Congratulations to our 2016 Hall of Fame inductees, Helen Edwards (Vic) and Danielle Stewart (Qld); also to Ray Allsopp who was recognised in the Australia Day Honours List and awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM). Thank you to my fellow national directors. They continue to work tirelessly in support of Chet and the Softball Australia staff. We have a very challenging year ahead – a year in which we must make fundamental and pivotal changes to ensure the future of our sport. John Hollingsworth Chairman Page 2 of 72 CEO’S REPORT This year has seen significant changes and challenges to softball in Australia. In August, the International Olympic Committee approved the return of baseball/ softball to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. This brought about the reclassification of the sport by the Australian Sports Commission and Australian Institute of Sport, to be eligible for high performance funding of our women’s program. The organisational focus shifted towards rebuilding this program to achieve Olympic qualification and podium finish. The Board took the financial position to invest some of our reserves into high performance. The Board recognised that we are less than 18 months away from the next World Championship, which could be the first opportunity to qualify for the 2020 Olympics. It was important to invest in high performance staffing, competition opportunities, sports science, sports medicine and the Daily Performance Environment. Our financial sustainability has been a priority over the last few years with a view to improving our level of reserves due to the uncertainty of government funding. The Board approved a deficit budget of $148,360 to invest in our high performance women’s program. We will post a deficit of $144,963 before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for this year. MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE A major activity continues to be our ‘whole of sport’ approach with our stakeholders to build capacity within our states, clubs and associations. We finalised shared services agreements with Softball ACT, Softball NT, Softball SA and Softball Tas to manage their finances and support key staff. This is significant progress towards collaboration and unification of the sport. Many challenges for softball in Australia remain and significant

Our Indigenous Softball Program produces positive health and social outcomes by providing female and male Indigenous Australians of all ages and abilities with opportunities to participate in Softball – as players, coaches, umpires, administrators and volunteers. With Softball generally recognised as the preferred sport of Indigenous women, and becoming increasingly popular amongst Indigenous men, we are committed to expanding Softball programs in targeted urban, rural and remote areas across Australia. Over the next 12 months we will provide over 100 programs including Softball competitions, coaching and officiating training sessions, and junior development activities to more than 8,000 Indigenous participants.

The submission does not attempt to respond to all the terms of reference, as many address issues that are outside the expertise and experience of Softball Australia. As a significant contributor to grass roots and elite sport in Australia, and as a true family team sport for all ages and abilities, we believe Softball’s experience is representative of many non-professional sports. 2.
