Adelaide Set to Host Abl Hub, Women's Showcase ADELAIDE SET TO HOST ABL HUB, WOMEN’S SHOWCASE Adelaide will host 12 Australian Baseball League games across seven days in January as part of a hub set to be revealed in the revised schedule later today. Brisbane, Canberra and Perth will join hosts Adelaide in an international broadcast-friendly four-team hub at West Beach from January 14-20 under a partnership with the South Australian Government. Two games of the 2021 Women’s Showcase, which will feature the country’s top female players and be broadcast, will also be played at West Beach as part of the SA Government’s support. A state-of-the art Trackman unit, which provides enhanced analytics for player evaluation and development, will also be installed for use by the Giants, visiting ABL teams and Baseball SA and its affiliate clubs. Baseball Australia chief executive Cam Vale said the SA Government’s support of a hub had helped ensure the ABL season moved ahead. “It’s no secret planning for the upcoming season has been a challenge, but we’re moving forward with a positive outlook thanks in large part to the SA Government’s support,” Vale said. “A seven-day, 12-game broadcast-friendly Adelaide hub is a huge highlight on the calendar of the upcoming season and has potential to become a permanent fixture. “We’re also thrilled to head to Adelaide as part of the Women’s Showcase as we move closer to launching a professional women’s league in Australia.” Two games will be played on each day of the ABL hub with Sunday, January 17, set aside for a Women’s Showcase doubleheader. Events South Australia executive director Hitaf Rasheed said it was important to look to the future and for SA to host national sporting events. “We’re very happy to support the ABL’s revised season and to welcome some of Australia’s best baseball talent in South Australia early next year,” she said. Adelaide Giants executive general manager Shane Smallacombe was grateful for the government’s ongoing support. “Without their support it would have been difficult to provide our fans with the opportunity to see us play in Adelaide this season,” he said. “The Giants and South Australian Government have forged a strong relationship in the past 12 months, through sports diplomacy and now events. “We look forward to growing our mutually beneficial relationship and exploring several exciting opportunities for the Giants and South Australia over the coming years. “The Giants have been a leader in driving the completion of the women’s baseball pathway and we are thrilled to see this become a reality. “The community and corporate interest in the women’s team has been overwhelmingly positive.” The State Government matched a $50,000 investment from Baseball SA, Diamond Sports and the Giants for upgrades to West Beach prior to South Korea’s Lotte Giants visiting earlier in the year. Baseball SA general manager Sarah Kelly was thrilled West Beach would host 14 more top-level games. “We are grateful for the support that the SA Government have shown baseball in our state over the past 12 months and we’re thrilled all eyes will be on Adelaide for six days of ABL action,” she said. “Hosting two of the historic women’s games is also a massive coup and gives members of our growing women’s programs a platform to strive for. “Having technology such as Trackman installed at the facility will add a great deal of value for all users of the ballpark.” The full revised six-team Australian Baseball League schedule will be released later today. Domestic and international broadcast details will be released next week, along with the host of the other two games in the Women’s Showcase. .

  • The History of School Baseball in Australia
    The History of School Baseball in Australia Baseball has been played in schools since the early 1900s. In New South Wales the longest running School Knockout happens to be in the sport of Baseball, the Proud Shield competition as it is known, began in 1908, and was won by Fort Street High. The sport is presently played in over 500 Secondary Schools around Australia. At the interstate level, competitions have existed since the 1940's, with some evidence suggesting competitions in the 1930's. These competitions involved New South Wales and Queensland teams with spasmodic representation from South Australia and Victoria. Throughout the 1970's and early 1980's only New South Wales and Queensland teams competed, until 1987 when Australian Capital Territory played in a three way Championship. Michael Chapman, the New South Wales Combined High Schools Baseball Convener, worked tirelessly throughout this time to have other States participate and for Baseball to come under the umbrella of the Australian Schools Sports Council. In 1988, Michael was elected the first National Secretary of the Australian Secondary School Baseball Association under the banner of the Australian Schools Sports Council. The Championship of 1988, held in Canberra, had four teams - New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory. It was a trial Championship before the full acceptance into the Australian Schools Sports Council. The venue for the inaugural Australian Secondary Schools Baseball Championship was Oriole Stadium, Sydney in 1989 where Victoria also competed for the first time. This year sees us playing our 21 st Championship. With the greater interest in the community, baseball standards have improved in schools.
