New players

  • We need to see each NEW player’s birth certificate so bring it with you on Team Allocation Day or upload a copy of the birth certificate with your registration.

How and when are teams put together?

  • Criteria for teams is based firstly on age groups, previous teams who have played together, whether or not players are looking for additional competition opportunities or wanting to play with friends/school groups.  We encourage players to get registered early to allow the best chance of requests being met.  Stirling Teeball Club welcomes registration requests for full teams and also individuals.  Please make sure this is entered on the registration form.
  • Teams will be announced at Team Allocation Day.
  • Players and their parent/caregiver must attend Team Allocation Day, as this is when teams nominate the roles of Coach and Assistant Coach, Manager and Umpire.  Other roles on gameday will be scorer and base coach (these can be rotated).  Our club is run entirely by volunteers and these roles must be filled to ensure each team can fully participate.  Experience is not essential and guidance/courses are availble for people undertaking team roles.  

Can my children play in the same team?

  • This depends on their age and the availability of places in a team. 
  • The Club does try to accommodate parental requests in this regard but it may not always be possible.
  • Younger players can play up into older age groups however older players cannot play down.

My child wants to play in the older age group to be with their friend – is this possible?

  • This depends upon the availability of places in each team and will factor in player experience/skills.

Umpiring and Coaching Clinics

Stirling Teeball Club will support volunteers willing to undertake TBAWA Coaching and Umpiring training.  Anyone can do the free theory component, however as the practical clinic component and accreditation comes at a cost to the club we ask that interested members please contact us (stirlingteeball@gmail.com) prior to registering for a clinic online.  The club will pass costs onto members who register and then fail to attend so please discuss with us first.
