Want to be on Leah's team? We do 🙋‍♀️

You get the gist by now, Leah Cornish is a Big Cat - but she's also going to be the Head Coach of our inaugural junior girls team!

This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to be coached by a current Australian Emerald who has also represented her state and played overseas.

It's not every day you get the chance to learn from a player of this calibre in their prime!

Make sure you register your interest, we are going to run a separate girls-only come and try session on the 12th and 19th of September at 10am.

Come down and meet Leah and give baseball a go, whether it's your first or millionth time picking up a ball!

Leah wants to see you there 🦁⚾️

The club has strong connections to the Diamonds in the Rough program with multiple club members having been involved in previous iterations, including Bron.

Have a great time Bron, what a great ambassador for women's baseball - the girls are lucky to work with you!
