On Sunday morning the Queensland Youth Women competed against their parents in their 3rd annual contest. This years game was another tight affair seeing the youth women win 17-14.
Despite having batting superstar Louis Zamora who continually showed the youth women his powerful hitting skills, Roger Bastow’s base running speed being crippled by an unstable knee, the parents seemed to come undone even when fielding 17 players in defence. Even those who know the game well like Brad Hamson, President of Redlands Baseball Club, weren’t enough to get the Parents over the line. Our Youth Women continued to hit gaps and pester the parents to steal the win.
All fun aside, this initiative was introduced by Board Director Geoff Wade who is the Head Coach for Queensland Youth Women. His intention was to help parents understand and appreciate the challenge and skill level required to play the game of baseball. By experiencing the game first hand a true understanding of key elements like concentration and physical endurance was developed so the parents have an appreciation of what their daughters face when they take the field.
Geoff ‘coached’ the parent’s team and Hannah Marshall was appointed the coach of the Youth Women’s team. This was important learning for the girls as they had to work out line ups, positions, and strategy for ensuring equal participation. Having to make these decisions will hopefully help the girls to understand why coaches make the decisions that they do when managing a game.
A fun day was had by all with both teams experiencing new situations that not only will help long-term on the field for our youth women, but also continue to build quality relationships outside of the game.
It is also rumoured that one of our youth women could face a disciplinary hearing at home for striking out her father. We will have more information on this in the coming days.
On behalf of Baseball Queensland, I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone involved in the 2018- 2019 GBL Little League, Junior League, Senior League and U20 competitions, as well as the 2018-2019 Gold Coast Baseball Association Little League, Junior League and Senior League competitions.
The strategic pillars for Baseball Queensland are: Grow our People, Grow our Game, Grow our Brand, Grow our Business.
This season through the collective efforts of so many individuals, Baseball Queensland has seen continued growth within these four key pillars within the sport. It has been Baseball Queensland’s privilege to work with the individuals from our Regions, Clubs, Umpires, Scorekeepers and Volunteers of this great game. Through your collective approach for positive outcomes, Baseball Queensland will continue to “Build a Better Future for Baseball.”
Firstly, I would like to thank Rod Gaunt, Reg Renouf and their respective committees for their tireless and selfless work and efforts throughout the season. There is no GBL or GCBA competition without quality individuals making decisions and putting in the countless hours of work behind the scenes. Thank you for your commitment and passion for developing the game of baseball in South East Queensland.
Secondly, I would like to thank our club President’s, committees, umpires, scorers, grounds crew, parents and families. There is a multitude of people that work day in day out to ensure we have a quality competition for our competitors. Without you, the future of baseball doesn’t have an opportunity to develop and grow.
The GBL and GCBA are successful because of the passion of everyone, that makes our game great. As we continue to build a better future for baseball, we are continually reminded of the dedication of the individuals who play their part to build a great future for the player, club, region and state.
We at Baseball Queensland are grateful to you and thank you for successful Little League, Junior League, Senior League, and U 20 competitions in 2018-2019.
Best Regards,
Paul Gonzalez- Chief Executive Officer BQ
