When naming your program, please use "Home Run Heroes" in the title. You can also use your club or association name and which program you are running. For example, "Werribee Softball Association Home Run Heroes - T-Ball" (or "Softball").
If your program is run on the same day for a number of weeks please populate details in the sections below.

When pricing your program, what you enter here is the amount your organisation will receive per member.
State and National fees are also charged per person.
Clubs and associations need to confirm what their amount per member is when the payment class is created.
Please take into consideration any fees when calculating the cost of the payment class to ensure you receive the full amount you are expecting.
The price a member pays is the total of all levels involved. For example, a club program would include fees at each level - National, State, Association and Club
Please enter any information you would like to appear on your website for the event description here.
Softball Australia has created text for all Home Run Heroes programs, and also has standard formatting which will be used to lay out the event, but you can add any information you like, and it will appear in the event description. Events will also be displayed on the front page of your website.
Information to include might be specific information about benefits of your program and or options to purchase equipment. You might also want to include registration information and the price (in total) to participate.
If you have a great coach, that might be something worth including here!
Equipment requirements for the Home Run Heroes program will differ based on the activities that are chosen and the age and experience of your program participants.
New equipment kits have been developed which contain softball equipment to get you started or top up existing equipment.
We recommend the Starter Kit, for those delivering introductory and T-ball programs to paricipants, whilst the Top Up Kit provides additional equipment for the 7-12 age group looking to progress their skills in the Softball Program.
Gloves are no longer included in the kits as standard. We do now offer a Glove Kit, with individual gloves available for sale also.
For more information on available equipment visit our Online Shop
Activities may also require non-softball specific equipment or may be able to be modified to utilise alternative equipment to adapt to the accessibility needs of your participants. Refer to the Program Activity Cards and Teacher/Coach Manual for more information.
