IMPORTANT NOTE:

Due to the overwhelming response from our softball community (great job folks!!!) we have reached our original capacity for new teams to enter at the moment.

If you are keen to play softball in the 2023 AMG and haven’t registered your team yet, don’t panic – please e-mail amg.admin@unisport.com.au with your team name, contact number, team member list and division as soon as you can so we can get to work on finding a solution. The sooner you do this the better chance we have to make it work and get you into the Games.

Of course if your team has already been registered and you are wanting to join that team, nothing changes – go ahead and register individually.

Shortly, existing teams with less than six players registered will be required to have six or more team members registered to hold their place.
