Welcome to Softball Australia's Policies and Guidelines hub. Here you will find the policies, guidelines and codes of conduct that govern the administration and delivery of softball across Australia.
These documents support safe, fair, inclusive, and effective participation in our sport and provide guidance for athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers, clubs, associations, and member organisations. We encourage all members of the softball community to review these resources and stay informed of their responsibilities and obligations.
Together, these policies help ensure softball remains a sport that is welcoming, respectful, and accessible for everyone.
