SPONSORSHIP

Run entirely by volunteers East Coast Bays Softball has a proud 45 year+ club history. We are passionate about creating an environment where players enjoy participating in our great game and where they can achieve higher honours if they desire.


Softball is a great summer sport played between October and March. All our games are played at the world class softball facility at Rosedale Park, Albany under North Harbour Softball Association (NHSA) which has over 9 softball clubs within its association. With 18 Diamonds available there are several games being played at any one time, creating an exciting atmosphere with hundreds of people at the ground to play, support or officiate.


In our 2022/23 season East Coast Bays Softball had 27 teams with over 295 players and the only club within NHSA to have four senior women’s teams. 

We were honoured to be awarded the Softball New Zealand 'Club of the Year' 2022/23 and for the second consecutive year the North Harbour Softball Dublin Trophy for being the Top Club


We look forward to more growth in our 2023/24 season as we add a fifth senior womens team with our NEW Prem Reserve team. 


Our committee look at fundraising and sponsorship opportunities and apply for grants to help with funding.  This funding helps keep our junior fees low to get more kids into softball, with upkeep and replacement of team uniforms, catchers safety equipment, gear bags, helmets, bats, training, game balls, prizegiving’s and equipment storage. 

Although we have four tiers of sponsorship we are grateful for any level of support from the ‘gift of time’ by being part of the committee or coaching, scorers and umpires or through donation or sponsorship.
