Pay Fees Now
Where do your fees go?

Club fees go towards club costs, such as team entry fees, club equipment, facility hire and coaching fees. You can pay your club fees through the link below or via the club canteen.

When are club fees due? 

Winter club fees are due and payable prior to Thursday 27 April. Anyone who has not paid their fees by this date will be ineligible to play until their fees are paid or a payment plan is established.

What support is available for paying club fees?

We understand that some players may need support to meet the upfront fee, especially new players that must also invest in uniforms and equipment. Our goal is to get players onto the field, and we are committed to making this happen.

  • Payment plans: If paying your fees in one hit is an issue for you, please contact us at uombaseball.treasurer@gmail.com to discuss a payment plan. 
  • Sport Access Scholarship: Melbourne University Sport proudly offers students facing financial hardship with a complimentary fitness membership and a subsidy towards joining a Sport Club or Intervarsity representation. Learn more about the Sports Access Scholarship.

Uniforms & equipment

Uniforms

  • Pants: grey baseball pants, or tracksuit pants for developing levels
  • Belt: royal blue
  • Warm-up top: either a royal blue shirt or the Melbourne Uni one ($20)
  • Game top: order your game top through our online shop. For new players, we can share a few tops for the first few weeks but you will eventually need to buy your own top.
  • Socks: royal blue knee-high socks
  • Cleats: football boots or baseball cleats will do so you don’t slip over
  • Hat: Baseballers wear hats! So don’t forget to bring one if you have purchased a club one yet.

Uniforms can be purchased and picked up at the Selection Night, or picked up from the Ross Straw pavilion on game days.

step 6

Team selection & fixtures

Team selections for Round 1 will be announced at Selections Night (the Wednesday night before the season starts). After the teams are announced, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with your team manager and team mates to talk through logistics, expectations and any questions you have.

During the season, the seniors’ and women’s teams are announced each week via our Facebook Group and email. There are opportunities for a player to be selected in different teams during the season, depending on what each team needs and how you’re developing. If you have questions about your team selection and skill development, have a chat with your team manager to understand how you can reach your goals.

On gameday, it’s your responsibility to know when and where you’re playing. The location and time for your games are listed on the weekly selections announcements. You can access the fixtures and a list of the baseball club addresses through the MWBL website.
