  • (AASC) Program National Baseball Participation Report – 2011 - 2012
    ACTIVE AFTER-SCHOOL COMMUNITIES (AASC) program National Baseball participation report – 2011 - 2012 Prepared: 2012 By: Kym McMahon, NSO Liaison Manager Page 1 of 46 Background The Active After-school Communities (AASC) program has been delivering sport and physical activity programs to primary school aged children across Australia for more than seven years. Over the past few years, the program has had an increased focus to engage with local, state and national sporting bodies and develop strategies to promote continued participation in sport. This report provides a snapshot of quantitative data relevant to baseball programs during the 2011 - 2012 financial year. Each semester, schools and Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) services involved in the AASC program identify the sports and physical activities they would like delivered to the children participating within the program. The AASC program is committed to promoting Australian Sport Commission (ASC) participation funded and recognised sports for delivery. Figure one shows the percentage of AASC programs delivered by ASC funded and recognised sports, while figure two indicates the percentages of ASC participation funded sport programs delivered. Figure 1: Percentage of AASC programs by sport or physical activity type in 2011 - 2012 ASC participation funded programs ASC recognised sport programs Other sport or physical activity programs 36% 56% 8% Page 2 of 46 Figure 2: Percentage of ASC participation funded sport programs in 2011 - 2012 2500 2000 1500 1000 Programnumbers 500 0 Sports Page 3 of 46 National Snapshot – Baseball in the AASC program Baseball programs Approximately 3270 schools and OSHC centres across Australia delivered the AASC program during the 2011 – 2012 period.

  • Annual Elections for Baseball Queensland Presentation to The
    Annual elections for Baseball Queensland Presentation to the Members and Clubs of Baseball Queensland by Rodney Gaunt __________________________________________________________________________________ To my fellow Queensland baseball community – members, Regions, Clubs, players, families and supporters, I am sending you this video to let you know that I am nominating for the position of Commissioner for the Board of Baseball Queensland. This election is a really important time for our baseball community given the disruptions that have occurred within the Baseball Queensland landscape over the past three years. Over that time we have seen the resignation of the immediate past Commissioner, various Board members and the decision to not renew the contract for our previous CEO. Added to this, the financial position over the past three years for Baseball Queensland has been muddied and not been made transparent for our members. Many members are aware of the outside disruptions and I would at this time like to pay particular thanks to our current BQ Board members Alan Connors, Jo Jackson, Geoff Wade and Sally West who have stayed the course and ensured that the best interests of Baseball Queensland have been protected from these outside parties. I trust that members will continue to support these Board Members into the future as their experiences and input into the running of the BQ Board is vital. I would also like to sincerely thank the Regions for their support at the recent Special General meeting – that support will not be forgotten. We now need some continuity and some transparency in the way in which Baseball Queensland goes about its business.

  • Council of Australian Baseball Scorers
    Council of Australian Baseball Scorers Technical Commissioners – Paula Kenning, Michael Gourlay, Lorraine Dunn http://www.scorers.baseball.com.au/ PLAY BALL…………… Basically as a baseball scorer you are writing down what happens on the field during a baseball game. You don’t have to make things up; neither do you have to decide what’s right or wrong (that’s the umpire’s job); it all happens in front of you and you just write it down. You even have a guideline - Official Baseball Rule Book (available for purchase from your State or Territory Scoring Organization) - which helps you score it right. Baseball is a game of numbers. All fielding positions have a number (see Page 2.); all batters have a batter number (see Diagram B page 4). You write down what the batter does remembering that the batter turns into a runner once he is safe on first base. From your scoring, batting & fielding & pitching statistics can be determined. Each team has a minimum of nine players in it (one for each fielding position). In some games (usually senior ones) a tenth player called a designated hitter may bat instead of the pitcher. The designated hitter does not field. He may be substituted as all players may be substituted, however if he takes a fielding position the pitcher then has to bat in the spot of the substituted fielder. You may also have players who may run for the catcher (called a courtesy runner). This runner may not receive any runner statistics; they are awarded to the catcher (check local league rules).

  • Active After-School Communities Report
    Active After-school Communities program and the Australian Baseball Federation MAY 2011 1 | P a g e INTRODUCTION The Active After-school Communities (AASC) program has now been running for over six years. During that time the program has liaised with state and national sporting organisations to help local clubs increase their membership base by exposing primary school aged children to their sport. Two years ago the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) started to prepare specific National Sporting Organisation (NSO) Reports to detail each sport’s involvement in the AASC program. These reports combine a statistical analysis as well as a qualitative review of the information, some examples of best practice case studies and any media articles that may have been generated. The intent of these reports is for NSOs to utilise the information at a national, state and regional level to help develop their sport. I would also encourage NSOs to use the report as a basis for the sport development officers and the AASC’s Regional Coordinators to collaborate and plan deliberate strategies for upcoming terms to promote the transition of children, families and new coaches from the AASC program into respective feeder clubs. Some transition strategies that have proved successful for many sports are as follows: Coordinating a ‘Come ‘n Try Gala Day’ at the end of a term. Delivering a clinic at selected sites to promote membership to a designated feeder club or participation in a modified junior sport program. Coordinating a cluster of schools/Outside School Hours Care Services (OSHCS) to attend the local club and organise a registration or promotional day.
