Important Items

    All Players are reminded to be aware of the GBA "Audible Offensive Language" Rules and to adhere strictly to this.   Yellow cards, fines and suspensions apply for breaches, as well as brining your self and your club into disrepute.

    Players are also to be mindful of penalties for Racial Vilification of players and spectators.   This is a serious matter in which a player could find him or herself before The Supreme Court of Victoria, not just the Association.   We are talking serious dollars in fines and legal representation and the possibility of gaol time.

    The Association's Investigations Officer has requested this matter be directed to the players for their information and adherence.   We as a club expect high standards of behavior from all our players and supporters and will not tolerate breaches of these rules.   It places in danger the reputation of the individual, the club and the town, don't live up to the bogan expectations held by some others about Colac.

The Colac Braves Baseball Club competes in the Geelong Baseball Association which is run through the Winter months.   The GBA has been operating for over 70 years.   Colac has enjoyed on field success in this competition and strives to provide a competitive team each season.

The Braves run junior and senior programs during the season, catering for ages 8 to 88.   All training is conducted on Thursdays, with the juniors commencing at 4pm to 5pm ans the senior squads from 5pm onwards.   The senior diamond is lit for after sunset activities and a lit batting cage is available with pitching machine or live toss options.

Experience is not needed.   Options other than players include scoring, [a mystical science using many coloured pens and ancient symbols] umpires [the men and women known as blue, and it attracts financial rewards] or just a supporter taking advantage of the social activities around the club.

The social side of the club is very active, running several events throughout the season and during and after home games at the clubrooms.   Make new friends and contacts that will stay with you for life.
