Registration Information
Welcome to the Rapids Family!
Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning for another season, we're thrilled to have you back on the diamond.
Registration for the 2026/2027 season is now open, and we can't wait to see our players, from our tiniest T-Ballers to our seasoned seniors, back where they belong.
Baseball is more than just a game here at Pine Rivers Rapids. It's about building confidence, making lifelong mates, and learning skills that go way beyond the field (like how to handle a tough loss or celebrate a teammate's win). Our club is volunteer-run and community-powered, which means every single family plays a part in making this season awesome.
Ready to get started? Let's walk through it together.
How to Register
We've streamlined the process to three simple steps. Here's what you need to do:
Step 1: Find Your Age Group
Check the age group list below to see where your player fits for the 2026/2027 season. Age groups are based on the player's age as of 31st August.
Step 2: Understand the Fees
Take a look at our fees table (below) to see what you'll be paying. Your registration is split into two parts:
Club fees – Stays right here at Pine Rivers Rapids to keep our fields pristine, our equipment top-notch, and our end-of-season celebrations legendary.
Baseball Queensland/Baseball Australia (BQ/BA) fees – This is your insurance and is paid separately.
Step 3: Complete Your Online Registration
Once you've got your age group sorted and you're clear on the costs, head over to our registration portal and fill out the online form. New junior players will need to bring a copy of their birth certificate when they first register.
Don't stress if you've got questions along the way, our team is here to help!

Payment Plans
While it is the club's policy to have all fees paid before the first game, we understand that this is not always possible for all families. If you require some more time, you are able to create a payment plan in the form of a direct debit as part of the registration process. Please note the following terms and conditions:
- Only the Club Fees portion can be covered by a payment plan. Baseball Queensland Fees need to be paid on registration, and all uniforms must be paid for in full before they are ordered.
- Direct debits can only be approved out of a bank account, credit card payments can be made at the club or online, but not as a payment plan.
- Direct debits are processed on a Tuesday or Friday, this is out of Rapid's control and is stipulated by our third party service provider.
- Each direct debit will be charged 99c, this will automatically be added to your payment instalment. This money goes directly to our third party provider to cover their fees. Rapids continues to absorb all other costs associated with credit card/EFT/online payments.
- Any payments that are rejected from your bank will attract an additional fee of $5.50 to cover the costs associated with a failed debit. After two consecutive failed payments, your payment plan will be cancelled and we'll be in contact with you to organise an alternate payment method.
- ALL payments MUST be complete before the 1st November.
