Central Coast Softball Association is preparing for the 2025/26 season, with registrations now open and three come-and-try days scheduled across the Coast.
Vice President Mary Tubner said the association is eager to rebuild numbers.
“Before COVID, we were a large association and we hope to build up our registration not only to where we were but to make it even better,” she said.
The association is made up of five clubs and is looking to expand grades, particularly in women’s and children’s competitions.
Games are played on Saturdays at Bateau Bay, starting with juniors in the morning and followed by men’s and women’s matches in the afternoon.
Families are encouraged to take part, with an on-site canteen and playground creating a social, family-friendly atmosphere.
Tubner, who is also a coach and board member, said inclusivity is central to the sport.
“We will help anyone who wants to play,” she said.
“Whether there are special needs or experienced players, there are pathways.”
Softball is classed as a safe, non-contact game, but it also offers state and national opportunities for players with advanced skills.
It has been part of the Central Coast community for decades, with competitions running from October through March.
Programs cater for players as young as four through to adults in their 70s.
Training is provided, and all abilities and fitness levels are welcome, including players living with disability or illnesses.
Active Kids vouchers are accepted.
Come and Try Days will be held from 11am-1pm on August 30 at Adcock Park Oval, West Gosford, on September 14 at Davistown Oval and on October 4 at Bateau Bay Oval.
The new season officially begins on Saturday, October 11.
Tubner said now is the time for new players to get involved.
“If you’ve never picked up a bat before or you’ve played for years, there’s a place for you on the diamond,” she said.
