Baseball Victoria
11 August 2016

As a part of the ongoing review of the governance structure being conducted by Baseball Victoria’s (BV) Board and Management, BV would like to announce its unified “One Baseball” organisational structure which it will adopt moving forward.

BV will be divided into four main departments where professional staff will be employed as well as relying on the appointment of some key volunteer roles in each area to fully deliver and develop the sport across the state.

Corporate

General day-to-day running of the business including strategic and business planning, facilities, operations, employment, wages, finances, communications and marketing. This department is responsible for ensuring adequate strategies, processes and structures are in place to ensure the ongoing sustainability and growth of baseball in Victoria.

Game Development

The Game Development team is charged with ensuring our participation numbers continue to grow across all levels of the sport. This includes the delivery of competitions, entry levels programs, and school and community programs.

The team is also responsible for development of our people by overseeing umpiring, coaching and scorer’s courses, seminars and educational resources.

High Performance

This department will oversee the organisation and administration of Baseball Victoria’s High Performance Programs. This encompasses the Melbourne Aces but also includes; State programs, Aces Academy, Charter Academies and coach development.

Melbourne Aces

Following the recent announcement of Baseball Australia’s 100% stake in the Australian Baseball League (ABL), the Melbourne Aces have been incorporated into the BV structure. The Melbourne Aces team is responsible for game day and team operations as well as commercial revenue for the sport in Victoria.

General Manager Ashley Blair says the adopted structure places BV the in the best possible position to continue to move the sport forward.

“All the changes we’ve made are for the benefit of baseball in Victoria.

“We’ve spent a number of months working through BV’s organisational structure and we feel these changes give us the best chance to continue to do that.”

The new structure will be supported by a number of Board Sub-Committees and Advisory Groups which will help shape the future of baseball in Victoria. This follows in the footsteps of the previously announced Women & Girls Advisory Group which is already start to do things out in the community.

BV President Myles Foreman says the structural changes are consistent with a whole of sport governance approach.

We’re in the process now of taking expression of interest for a number of Advisory Groups.

“These reintroduced groups will assist in the integrations between BV and the Aces within specific operational areas of the business.

“Everything we’re putting in place is consistent with the strategic direction taken by the Board and about working collectively towards our goal of ‘Gain. Train. Retain’.”
