It’s International Women’s Day and you may have noticed we have been featuring some of the remarkable women that contribute to making baseball in Queensland so great, in our social media.
We know we won’t be able to feature all those that contribute, so we wanted to give you all the opportunity to show your appreciation to the women who make your local community so successful. You can download an editable certificate here >>>

Congratulations to all the players selected in each Team. The successful 2021 State Titles has been used a platform to kick start a revamped Female Performance Pathway framework. Throughout 2022 we will see several programs being delivered for our Open and Junior Female players.
We will be entering two teams in the Open Australian Women Championships (15th – 21st April) with a vision of development towards all aspects of baseball whilst offering additional playing opportunities for our players. This year we will be entering a QLD Maroon Team and a QLD Development Team. The Maroon Team is the final 18 player roster, with our Development Team selected as a squad initially and will be finalised throughout February.
In addition to this is identifying juniors (Little League to Senior League) earlier in the year and inviting players into our BQ Girls Development Program. The first event in the calendar for our BQ Girls Development Program will be the Baseball QLD Div II State Titles (Easter School Holidays).
Additional information will be sent to the selected Open Women’s (Maroon and Development Squad) players shortly.
Information for our BQ Junior Girls Development Programs will be sent early January.
