Club Resources and Templates
This page features all of the templates, guidebooks and tips and tricks documents that you’ll find throughout Club Hub. There are also relevant links for our partners or tools or organisations that you can seek support from. You will also find other important information here, such as the list of baseballs approved for use in the state.

Baseball Queensland Resources
Baseball Queensland operate under a set of rules and policies, these are available here: https://www.baseballqueensland.com.au/resources/
Approved Baseballs
The following baseballs have been approved for use.
These balls have been deemed to meet the required standards and specifications for play and clubs are free to use any of these game balls for the 2023-2024 season.
Considering the potential for different balls to end up in play in any given game the BQ rules have been updated to include a rule requiring only one type of ball be used in any one game (Page 9 – Baseballs for use in any game must be consistent in specification, make and model). This means that if you start the game with Easton 777’s only Easton 777’s can be used for the remainder of that game.
Clubs are free to purchase and use any one of the following ball types for use in games for the 2023-2024 season:
Brand | Model # |
Easton | 777 |
Wilson | A1001FS, A1010 |
Rawlings | ROLB, ROLB1 |
Brett | BR-100 and BR-200 |
Mizuno | MB380 |
MR Pro Stock |
Div 1 Senior League and older: A100R, A085R Junior League and older: A050R, A050F Senior League and younger: B030, B015 |
