Baseball NSW is proud to announce the launch of the Illawarra Development Hub, a player development program designed to identify, challenge, and elevate baseball players across the Southern Region!
The Illawarra Development Hub represents a significant investment in regional baseball, bringing a structured, development training environment to the Southern Region. Open to players aged 12–18, the program runs twice weekly at Cringila Baseball Park.
Underpinning the Development Hub is a landmark partnership with the Illawarra Academy of Sport, one of Australia’s most decorated regional academies with a history dating back to 1985 and a track record of developing over 8,000 athletes, Olympians, world champions, and senior national representatives across all sports.
Through this partnership, selected players will gain access to group strength and conditioning sessions, sport-specific education, and personal development workshops, all delivered through the IAS’s established athlete services framework.
Sessions will be delivered by accredited coaches, ensuring a consistent high standard of instruction across hitting, pitching, fielding, and game development.
The Illawarra Development Hub offers a clear bridge to representative and state-level competition.
For players with NSW Country representative ambitions, this program provides the experience, exposure, and structured development needed to take their game to the next level.
Trials will be held on July 7th and 9th (with a third date available if required) at Cringila Baseball Park, 6:00pm–8:00pm.
