President's Report April 2024

CSJBA Presidents Report
April 2024

The 23-24 club season is now done and dusted. Congratulations to all teams on
a brilliant Grand Final day. I don’t recall any year where so many games were
decided by a single run. Bonnet Bay did another amazing job keeping us all fed
and watered, the diamonds were in tip-top shape for each game, and they
even managed to scare off some ugly looking clouds later in the day to ensure
all games were completed. Many thanks to our umpires for doing a great job
and keeping the games moving, was great to see so many young umpires
officiating with some of our more senior members.
With the conclusion of club baseball, we now have State Championships
commencing during the upcoming school holidays. We have nine teams across
all age groups competing for spots at the National Championships in May/June.
All teams have been training hard for several weeks and their coaches have
them primed for success. Good luck and best wishes to all teams.
Planning for next season is underway with a couple of proposals to be
discussed at this month’s meeting.

• Possible mid-week IL competition
• Format for TBall and Machine Pitch

Further information on both proposals is provided in the monthly meeting
pack. Delegates will be expected to attend the May General Meeting with a
clear direction of their club’s preferences.
