WHY PLAY BASEBALL? 

Playing baseball is great for a number of reasons, which include physical activity (improving strength and flexibility, hand-eye coordination and gross motor skills), social interaction, builds confidence and provides mental stimulation. And at Scots, we have a great community and family friendly presence. Plus, it's FUN.

FUNDRAISER - MADCOW

Daniel (Gr 3) and his Dad (Mark) are participating in a fundraiser for MADCOW (a local Bendigo charity that supports people experiencing homelessness). Mark will be riding almost 2,000 km with a team in July from Townsville to Katherine as a way of raising awareness and support for MADCOW. Daniel (with his Mum and sister) will be travelling with Mark to support him and the other riders as they ride.
