Port Adelaide District Baseball Club is a non-profit organization that provides junior and senior baseball teams in Semaphore, South Australia with an emphasis on participation, skill development, community, and fun. Our baseball leagues run in the Summer from October - March
Ages for juniors range from 8 - 18 years old. Each child is given an equal opportunity to play and participate while learning the positive benefits of exercise and team sports.
We have all types of senior's teams. Our Division 1 team won their grand final in 2007/2008 down to the less serious side with the social team of Division 7.
The baseball club is run by volunteers, from the coaches to the committee members, and offers many ways for parents to be involved. Volunteer opportunities include coaching, fundraising, umpiring, scoring and canteen help. We offer training for all volunteers - so all you need is a willing spirit and a desire to make a difference. If you would like more information on volunteering please contact Elsa at 8248 0359 or 043 000 1952.
