Baseball Queensland is thrilled to announce the return of its highly successful Emerging Athlete Program (EAP) for a second year, commencing at the end of July this year.

This seven-week initiative is your opportunity to join a community dedicated to high-quality baseball development and to take your skills to the next level.

The Baseball Queensland Emerging Athlete Program (EAP) is designed to develop young athletes aged 10 to 16 who are aiming to progress in Baseball Queensland’s Performance Pathway. The program provides comprehensive training in essential baseball skills such as speed, agility, throwing, infield and outfield drills, hitting, and strength and conditioning. Each session is crafted to offer personalised coaching, helping every young athlete maximise their potential.

With training sessions held across multiple locations, including the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast, the program is accessible to aspiring baseball stars from all over South-East Queensland.

This year’s program features exciting new developments, including a dedicated youth female stand-alone program, ensuring that our talented young female athletes also receive focussed training and support.

Based on participant feedback from 2023, the program will now feature reduced session sizes to provide more personalised coaching, better support, and effective communication with players and parents. A wider variety of engaging drills, including game-like scenarios and skill-specific activities tailored to different levels, will be introduced to ensure continuous improvement and maintain interest. Additionally, expert guest coaches will be invited to offer specialised one-on-one training in skills such as pitching and batting, along with motivational talks to inspire participants.

One participant shared, “The program was amazing, ALL coaches went above and beyond expectations. The children learned a lot from the program and it was an enjoyable experience for players and parents.”
