Western Districts Baseball Club Inc. is a not-for-profit Club and as such, all funds are spent on getting players onto the field, meeting Club expenses and maintaining and growing Club facilities.

Teams are required to be registered with the GBL competition Committee one (1) month prior to the start of the season. Therefore the Club needs all players to register and pay the fee one month prior to the start of the season.

The fees listed below are the registration fees that will appear in GameDay if you complete your registration before 1 September. Please note that these are the standard fees; they are not discounted. Fees will increase by $100 if registration is completed on or after 1 September

If you are having problems paying your fees, please contact Club Treasurer – we are here to help you.
