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’.

Baseball NSW and the Country League Standing Committee would like to congratulate all players and staff on their selection into the NSW Country U16 and U18 State Representative Teams to compete in the Australian Youth Championships to be held in Geelong, Victoria from January 10-15, 2020.

Baseball NSW is looking to conduct a Showcase for all registered players in League ages 11, 12, 13, 14. The purpose of the Showcase is to compile a database of information so that we can identify players who might be interested in the following events that BNSW will be offering over the next 12 months:-

• Super Series Composite Teams
• Interstate Tours
• International Tours

The Showcase will also be useful for the individual players in that it will enable them to assess where they are at in terms of physical development on the performance pathway.

​We will be testing players on the following activities during each session: -

• Throwing velocity (Arm Strength)
• Ball exit velocity (Raw Offensive Power)
• Blast motion swing metrics (Swing analysis)
• 60-yard run time (Running Speed)
• Agility test (Athleticism)
• Standing long jump (Lower Limb Power)

The Showcase will be conducted at Albert Park Baseball Complex on the following dates:-

• Sunday 20th October 1pm to 4pm

Every player needs to wear full baseball uniform and bring all your own gear as if you were playing a game. It is advisable to also bring your own water and sunscreen (for daytime sessions).
