Roadrunner Instructional Baseball League and Little League Baseball Teams The instructional league is the next step for 8-12 year old boys and girls following Roadrunner Tball Smash. Children may choose Tball Smash or Instructional league depending on their interest and skill level. Ideally children will have the concept of how the game works and be able to throw the ball 10-15 metres and catch the ball thrown to them. The league will feature optional training for all players on Wednesday nights and parent pitch games on Friday nights. The games will feature 4 Roadrunner teams and focus on playing “real” games of baseball with modified rules and coaching as the games take place. Roadrunner Little League Team For the first time ever, we will be entering in a team in Baseball Victoria’s Minor Little Leauge competition. Players need to nominate whether they want to be considered for this team. Twelve players will be chosen by our coaching staff based on performance and skill level demonstrated in the training sessions leading up to the start of the season. Details of this program include: •Training for those wishing to be considered for the Roadrunner Little League team will commence on Wednesday, September 27th, 530pm – 7pm, and will continue throughout the season on Wednesday nights. •Home and away games with other clubs on Sunday mornings (most likely 9am game time start) against other clubs in our charter; •Our charter consists of Preston, Essendon, Fitzroy, Newport, Werribee (and maybe Doncaster) Baseball Clubs. The good news is that for the far west clubs, it’s typically a 30 minute drive via the Western Ring Road on a Sunday morning – no different than trying to get to Doncaster shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon! J •Proper baseball rules – the children will be pitching and hitting according to the proper baseball rules. •Length of the season will be similar to the Instructional League. More details are available on our website. Pricing includes uniforms, club and Baseball Victoria fees. Please refer to our registration program on our website for terms and conditions.

Laser Sporting is surprisingly athletic and a huge amount of fun. The difference between League and regular Laser Tag, is that you get to experience Laser Tag as part of an organised 5 person team. Your team will develop good communication and technical skills throughout the 10 week season to become a cohesive unit by finals time. 1st Division League caters for intermediate and advanced skill levels, and ages 13 years to adult. It is recommended that players start by attending one of our Masterclass events, however this is not a prerequisite. The learning curve is steep, but you will be learning from the best in the business! We utilise a unique handicapping system that automatically grades players on performance, and then gives each team a % handicap on their team scores based upon the experience level of the players on the team. The system has proven successful in giving all teams a chance no matter what experience level they might be.

This is a class that teaches performance skills. Every student is placed in a scene, (or possibly two scenes), which they rehearse throughout class time. This is done under expert guidance, and the teacher directs the scene for you. After the initial classes, there is a short performance season in THE MELBOURNE COMEDY FESTIVAL. We enter the festival as a Recreational Group of Performers, so no prior experience is required. However, this course is also suitable for those who do have some prior experience. It is possible that students could start this course a couple of weeks late, pending availability of spaces. However, this is a very popular program and usually fills. Please see website link for further details. Fees are due in full and in advance of the term.
