The registration deadline is fast approaching and failure to register on time may result in you missing out on a spot on a team. We don’t want any player to be left out, so please take the time to complete your registration now via the Registrations portal on the website. Do not wait until the last minute.
If you have any questions or concerns about the registration process, please contact the club.

Wayne Dyer Memorial Cup – February 2023
On 25 February, 2023 the Runaway Bay Baseball Club hosted Surfers Little League Majors and the teams played for the Wayne Dyer Memorial Cup. This is a trophy provided by the Gold Coast Baseball Umpires Association in honour of the late great Runaway Bay and Surfers club man and umpire Wayne Dyer, which the little league sides of Runaway Bay and Surfers vie for when they play each other through the season. Surfers came away with the win – and hold the trophy for another season.
QUEENSLAND MASTERS TOURNAMENT – APRIL 2023
THE QUEENSLAND MASTERS TOURNAMENT WILL BE HOSTED BY SURFERS PARADISE BASEBALL CLUB AND WILL TAKE PLACE FROM APRIL 22ND TO APRIL 24TH, 2023.
Baseball Queensland has re-structured the tournament based on feedback from players, regions, and clubs, and in accordance with the success of the Pan Pacific Masters Games in 2022.
The tournament will now feature three divisions: 35+ years Division 1, 35+ years Division 2, and 25+ years Women’s Division. The addition of the Women’s Division with a lower age bracket is aimed at promoting the growth and development of baseball among female participants.
The goal of the tournament is to promote and maintain a culture of respect, diversity, and inclusion within the baseball community. The aim is also to cultivate a fun, inclusive, and welcoming atmosphere that makes baseball a sport of choice and a game for life. The idea of inclusiveness here is meant to reflect the diversity of the community and make sure everyone feels included and welcomed.
