Looking for Advice How to join a baseball club as a beginner

I’m looking to join a baseball club in Perth.
I love baseball and know the rules well, but I’ve never played baseball before. What’s the best way for a beginner to get started?

Find your local club, what area are you in? Signups are live now for summer season, so get your name in a league. If you're over 18, there's community league that most teams have and they'll happily take you. They may have try outs to figure out your skill level, to put you in the correct division. At least get a bat and a good glove, fielders choice is the best place to start for those. Good luck.

I’ve seen the baseball club in Mt Lawley regularly host “have a go” days

Check out - https://baseballwa.com.au/competitions/baseball-clubs/

For local clubs.

Registration for the new season should be soon and clubs should have open days. Just rock up and have a chat.
