Rule Changes
After spending 2 days in Brisbane at the Softball Qld
Directorates Forum, new rules and interpretations were aired
which will affect the pitching rules and the interference rule
when a runner runs close to the ball as a fielder gets ready to
field it. If you are a pitcher or infielder, these will be
communicated to you very shortly via this webpage.
As a prelude, pitchers are no longer required to remain in
contact with the ground during the pitching action, but other
details are more rigidly enforced and contact must be made
between fielder and runner before an interference can be given.
More later when typing time becomes available.

North Bundaberg
Eels Softball Club was formed in 2005. The club started with
two ladies teams, A and B, competing in Bundaberg Softball
Association competition. In our first season ladies A and B were
both successful, to make it as far as the semi-finals. In 2006
we expanded from two teams to six teams which included our
juniors and men’s team joining us to compete in the competition.
Season 2009/20010 Eels where fortunate to have four of our teams
in the grand finals, Ladies A, Ladies B, u16s and u14s. Ladies A
missed their chance of a win but our outstanding B grade ladies
came out on top with the win that went into extra time. U16s
where unfortunate too but put their all into the game. U14s also
unfortunate of a win, but took home the premiership trophy for
the season. All our teams showed great sportsmanship. Win or
loose they all had a smile on their faces. Another bonus for the
club was to win club premiers for 2009/2010.
We hope to see everyone back for the 2010/2011 season. Sign up –
8th August at 2:00pm at the Bundaberg Softball Grounds, Claytons
Rd, Thabeban. The club would like to thank the many willing and
supportive volunteers who make the club what it is today. We
would also like to thank all our sponsors – Ladies A - CQID,
Ladies B - Kens Tiles & Burnett Carpet Court, U16s - Parsons
Nose and F.C. Brown & Co. Funeral Services, U14s - Debbie
Crawford and Ashley Leather, U12s, U10s and teeballers – Cornets

Presidents report.
Across the Waves Softball Club can reflect on the 2009-2010
season with a sense of pride in our achievements. Our club ethos
of support, encouragement and opportunity has allowed us to
promote the family orientated nature of our club and the sport
of softball. The continued focus on technical development has
seen a number of our members receive umpiring, scoring and
coaching accreditation. The dedication and commitment of our
coaching staff to junior development has been rewarded with our
teams being very competitive in all junior age divisions.

Committee/Volunteers
Our successes in 2009-2010 would not eventuate without the
hard work and commitment of the ATW Softball committee. I thank
the following people for their roles in 2009-2010 - David Field
(Vice President), Carolyn Hurley (Treasurer/Registrar), Jodie
Harris (Secretary) and Warren Stehbens (General Committee
Member). I would also like to thank Bec Engstrom, our club
photographer, for the many hours she has spent creating a
digital record of the 2009-2010 season. Gloria Hurley's
assistance with the distribution, tracking and collection of
uniforms is also appreciated.
Future Directions
Our commitment as a club to provide opportunity for all members
to achieve their individual and team goals within the sport of
softball will hopefully see Across the Waves Softball Club build
on our successes of the 2010-2011 season. I look forward to next
season with a sense of anticipation of what is to come and hope
to see many new faces joining the ATW softball family.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge and thank Across the Waves
Sports Club for their continued
support for our club and its members.
Yours in Softball,
Lee Anne O’Leary
President
