Recruitment Clinics Presenters

Baseball Queensland is looking for energetic, enthusiastic presenters to deliver recruitment clinics as part of our Summer Club Recruitment program. Coaches within this program will need to hold a current working with children “Blue Card”. If you don’t already hold a current baseball coach accreditation Baseball Queensland will help you through the process of obtaining it. If you or someone you know would like to earn some money (up to $120/day) while helping to grow the sport of baseball please submit a one page CV that includes your Blue Card ID number and any relevant accreditation details to gareth@baseballqld.asn.au

Program coaches will be supplied with all requisite equipment and apparel and will require their own transport.

Delivery of the program will commence late July and conclude late September
