Welcome Giants!
Thank you to everyone who messaged us to say they love the newsletter!
The COVID restrictions continue to have an impact on our Sport. The good news is that we have finally been given a new start date from Hornsby Council for the Summer Season. Unfortunately, we have been delayed slightly so are working on how this impact is going to affect us.
2020/21 Summer Season officially starts Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th October and concludes Sunday 28th March 2021.
We are pleased to announce that Greenies will be going ahead! We are excited to be able to host Sydney Diamond Sports and a great array of players at Greenway in 2020.
We welcome Russ Weekley as our MPIO (Member Protection Information Officer) and Kay de Sacadura as our Photo Co-ordinator this year.
Womens
The 2020 Women’s Developing Pathways program run by Baseball NSW have released their dates and registration details.
Our very own Peter Neads will be one of the Coaches.
Please visit Baseball NSW website for more information.
Registration closes 6th July 2020
Seniors
We are looking forward to our intracomp competition commencing 25th July. Four Greenway Senior and Womens A Grade Teams are excited to get back on the field and have a bit of fun whilst competing against each other.
The team leading the competition at the end of the 6 weeks will be recognised as the Champion of Champions.
If you are 15 or over and played in the summer season and wish to join, please contact seniors@greenwaygiants.org.au
Registration will open for the intracomp over the next few days.
Due to the delay to the season we have changed the Try Day dates to begin in late July (dates included in Dates for the Diary).
We still intend to run 4 sessions and would love you to spread the word when the time comes to get as many kids involved as we can.

Batting Cages
We have a couple of tournaments commencing can you please ensure you book time if you are wishing to use the batting cages going forward, please email: president@greenwaygiants.org.au
Please also respect the batting cages and pick up your rubbish.
Grounds
We have continued to make improvements in the Greenway Batting Cages and now have some great bag hooks for you to use to get your gear off the ground and avoid tripping hazards.
We also have hung new promotional signage at Diamond 1 and on the Batting Cages to increase our presence at Greenway.
The first tier of our new bench seat has been installed – thanks to Mark Kelly and Dave Ninnes.
Canteen
We now have an oven in the canteen and will be able to create some tasty weekend meals.
On the 12th July, Greenway will be a buzz for our Rep players who will be playing in a 3 day tournament for Ryde (13th/14th will be travelling to other districts). Following Covid restrictions, the canteen will be open and serving hot food and baked items so come on down and check out a few games of baseball.
Uniforms
If you are still holding on to one of your borrowed uniforms jersey or shorts from Little Giants,

Sponsorship
We are also looking for Sponsorship for this upcoming season. We realise that it might not be the perfect time, but we also know this is an important element to the success of our club.
If you know anyone who might like to help, please contact Helen: sponsorship@greenwaygiants.org.au
Merchandise
As we move closer to our 2020/21 Season, we have decided to part ways with VIVA and thank them for their sponsorship and supplying quality items over the last 3 years. VIVA are currently running an End of Stock sale where you can still pick up current jerseys and apparel for 50% off.
The sale will run until the 15 July – available here
We are excited to announce we will be moving to a local company Elite Sports at Castle Hill for our future seasons with some exciting new apparel – so stay tuned.
Our uniforms will continue to look the same as to what you are currently getting from VIVIA, so if you have bought or intend to buy stock from VIVA at 50% off they will look much the same.
As usual we will continue to supply our Richardson Fitted Caps through our sponsor Red Stitches.
