Get Involved

Playing, coaching, scoring or umpiring are just a few of the ways you can be involved with Manly Warringah Softball.

Whether you are in primary school or masters age, new to the sport or returning from a break there are opportunities for you to be a part of the community.

Saturday 17 October - 2 more sessions!

Umpiring Clinics - sign up today

MWSA is running two Introduction to Umpiring sessions to help players learn the basics and build confidence on the diamond. These practical sessions are ideal if you:

• have never umpired before;
• have only umpired a few games;
• would like a refresher; or
• simply want to better understand the game from an umpire’s perspective.

We’ll cover the basic mechanics of umpiring, where to position yourself, signals and some of the common situations you’ll encounter in a game. Come to either or both sessions. All welcome!

🥎 Saturday 17 October, 8.45 - 9.30am (base mechanics - NEW SESSION)

🥎 Saturday 17 Ocotber, 12.00 - 12.45pm (plate mechanics - same content as sessions on October 10th & 12th)

🥎 Abbott Road Diamonds

Junior Blues (EOI coming soon)

There are three 4-week blocks that you can join:

Two x 4-week blocks before summer break
One x 4-week block after summer break

The first block commences Round 2 (17 October)

If you are already a Junior Blue or an accredited Level One, we encourage you to join our intermediate program. We will help prepare you for progression to Level 2 and above.

Umpiring Games

Anyone in the softball community can be an umpire and it's never too early or too late to start.

MWSA will provide a Junior Blues program for the 2026 / 2027 season. There are also Learn to Umpire sessions on offer prior to the Junior Blues program starting.

Coaching & Managing Teams

“A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life!”

Coaches and team managers are an invaluable part of our game day and we are always looking to grow the number of coaches and managers amongst our volunteer base.

If you're keen to try your hand at coaching, managing or both, reach out to us at mwsa@mwsa.com.au

Scoring

MWSA run regular clinics on the basics of scoring. If you are keen to learn how to score, reach out to us at mwsa@mwsa.com.au

There are plenty of resources on the Softball NSW site too https://www.nsw.softball.org.au/get-involved/snsw-scoring

Volunteering

MWSA appreciates any help that our supporters are able to offer. We have regular Working Bees to maintain the Abbott Road grounds and at every MWSA event we need lots of helpers.

You might be able to help us with local fund raising events, or at tournaments we always need help to prepare the fields, run the canteen or simply lend a hand directing enquiries.

Our next fundrasier is a BBQ at Balgowlah Bunnings

If you can assist us please contact Jannette at volunteer@mwsa.com.au

We would love to hear from you.
