Good morning everybody,

I’m sure you’re wondering when we’ll be back on the diamond at MWSA. The Committee is keen to provide certainty on this which of course is never easy in these challenging times.

With that in mind we decided to plan for a season commencement on 29 January 2022, COVID permitting, with a 10 game season ending on 2 April 2022. The season will end with the 1st & 2nd placed teams in each grade playing a grand final (no semis for this year). Given it’s a shortened season we will ensure fees are reduced to some degree. If we have rained out days we will do our best to make them up so everyone gets a full season (potentially with double headers).

So now is the time to register and also persuade your friends to do so as well. You could register and hold off paying the fees until they are clarified.

We acknowledge that COVID restrictions may allow an earlier start to the season but we wanted to set a plan that had more certainty. If things open up early we plan to run some social events in the lead up to Christmas & we’d love any suggestions you may have for these (Examples could include - Fastpitch gala day, Slow pitch gala day, Come N Try day for new players, skills sessions, Christmas Party).

MWSA turns 50 on July 15 this year!

A celebration is planned for September 4 at Dee Why RSL.

There will be more information to come, but make sure you block out the date on your calendars!

Time to select out teeball rep and dev teams.

Eligible players are those born in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Trial Dates

• Saturday Feb 13^th 2pm to 4pm on Diamond 11
• Saturday Feb 20^th 2pm to 4pm on Diamond 11

The venue is the furthest diamond - near the netball courts. Attendance at both these trials is preferred - however, if you are unable to attend either of these dates, and would like to be considered, can you please let us know.

Just attending the trial will assist the girls as it is like an extra coaching session.

If selected, the season is relatively short. Reps end at the State Championships - May 1^st and 2^nd . Dev commitments end in mid April.

If selected, the girls will receive specialist coaching in all aspects of the game.

We are aware that many of the trialists will have had limited experience but they are great learning days and also lots of fun.

If selected, you will find that being a part of a Manly Softball rep program is a fantastic time for everyone involved.
