ECB Softball

East Coast Bays Softball United Club has been in operation for 30 years and is the North Shore’s largest softball club.

The goal of the Club is to develop the skills of club members to assist them to play to their best potential and where the player desires, ensure we assist them towards representative selection. 

East Coast Bays United Softball Club is run entirely by volunteers.  We are extremely grateful for the assistance of all of our volunteers, particularly our Coaches, many of whom have been coaching East Coast Bays Softball teams for a number of years and continue to give assistance and guide new Coaches into their roles.

For the 2007/08 season, ECBU Softball fielded 5 senior teams and 15 junior teams, all in our new club uniform.  We passionately believe softball is a fantastic summer sport, which the entire family can play and enjoy.  We welcome players of all ages and ability.

All games are played at Rosedale Park in Albany. The season starts in October and ends in March with a break over the Christmas holiday period. Registrations are taken in August each year and information on the registration process is available on this website, as are regular newsletters and notices.

Important Dates for 2009/2010 have been posted up.  Click on the Calendar tab above. 

ECB Softball had 20 teams playing in the 2008/09 competition which makes our club the largest in the North Shore Softball Association.  It is the desire of the current committee to grow the club and develop our junior players and provide a stable and supportive structure for all our teams.  In order to achieve this, we need members to continue to provide input and support the club.   

We need your assistance! (more hands make light work)  Nominations are called for all Committee positions. A nomination slip is attached and should be brought to the meeting.     Any feedback on current practices, ideas and suggestions for the future of the club are most welcome to be raised.   The constitution is available here.

Following the AGM, coaches are asked to stay for a brief meeting to decide upon the club trophy winners for end of year prize giving.
