Many individuals, clubs and organisations are striving to give women and girls more opportunities and equal access to participate in their sport. We want to recognise those people and highlight the work they are doing.

NSW Women’s Baseball League (NSWWBL)is hosting a Pink Sports Day to PLAY4BCNA

NSWWBL is preparing to pink up as it hosts a Pink Sports Day on Friday 17 January and Saturday 18 January 2020 in support of Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA).

Pink Sports Day is an opportunity for sporting groups around Australia to show their support for, and pay tribute to, local people affected by breast cancer.

Each year hundreds of clubs across Australia take part to show their support for Australians affected by breast cancer. This year NSWWBL will join sporting groups nationwide as they rally together in a bid to raise $550,000.
Funds raised from Pink Sports Day help BCNA's work ensuring Australians diagnosed with breast cancer receive the best support, information, treatment and care.

BCNA CEO, Kirsten Pilatti, said ‘Hosting a Pink Sports Day presents an opportunity for all sporting communities to support local people affected by breast cancer.’

‘Pink Sports Day raises funds to provide support for the more than 20,000 Australians who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year,' Kirsten said.

‘The Pink Sports Day program is proudly supported by major partner, Red Energy, who sponsor the cost for producing, providing and sending the promotional material to sporting clubs around the country who are volunteering their time and energies for BCNA.'

NSWWBL Committee is urging the local community to get behind the Pink Sports Day.
"We hope that everyone will come together, pink up and get behind the teams as they play for a great cause!"

NSW has recently faced unprecedented conditions concerning it’s air quality. The situation has not eased and is now at hazardous levels statewide.
There is guidance provided from NSW Department of Health which is consistent with advice from overseas, namely the US Department of Environment and the NCAA.
More information on our air quality is available from the NSW Department of Health website  - 
www.health.nsw.gov.au/environment/air/Pages/default.aspx
As a result, BNSW has adopted the Air Quality Index (AQI) measure to determine the risk to it’s members, which is updated hourly by the NSW Department of Health. The AQI measurement to be used is the Particles PM2.5 Index.
This data can be obtained at the following site –
www.environment.nsw.gov.au/aqms/aqitable.htm
Members should use the Regional AQI number reading for the local area as appropriate. Any Regional AQI Particles PM 2.5 Index reading beyond 200 is deemed too hazardous to your health.
Based on advice from the NSW Dept of Health  - 
Training and games should be postponed/cancelled when your regional AQI Particles PM 2.5 Index reading reaches 200 or higher.
Please Note:-
It is possible that the correct data cannot be accessed. If this is the case, then the fitness of the air quality will be decided by the authorities controlling the ground, the team managers, or in the event of the managers disagreeing, by the Umpire in Chief, in that order. The safety of players, officials and spectators shall be the primary concern of the officials.
If games are called off in this situation, then they should be treated as a ‘wash out’.
