Pine Hills Lightning Baseball Club

Hey Pine Hills family!

We have about 10 Little Leaguers whose new jerseys won't arrive in time for the start of the season, and we’d love your help to get them kitted up for game day!

If you have any yellow Pine Hills jerseys (sizes 8 through 14-ish) sitting in the back of the wardrobe that your player has outgrown, please consider donating or lending them to the club!

Sizes needed: 8 to 14

Where to drop off: You can hand them to at training, or drop them off at the canteen.

Please tag any past or present families who might have a spare one lying around. Thank you so much for supporting our kids!

Alternatively you can post them on the Pine Hills Baseball buy, sell and swap page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584947628641874/

When our Pine Hills crew steps out into representative baseball, you know they are going to make some noise.

A massive congratulations to Noah, Parker, Archer, and Lars for taking out 3rd overall with the Met North 12-14 squad at the Queensland Representative School Sport Championship!

The boys kicked off the tournament on fire, cruising through four straight wins and a draw. Refusing to let a narrow semi-final loss derail them, they came out firing in the final game to lock up the bronze medal.

From clutch pitching performances by Noah and Archer to clinical defense across the infield and outfield from Parker and Lars, every single one of them put on a showcase with quality at-bats and big plays when it mattered most.

Awesome job boys, time to bring that form back to Bunya!

And just like that, the house is packed!

Little League Player Pitch registration for the 2026/27 season is now officially CLOSED. The demand this year has been massive, and all of our team rosters have been completely exhausted.

To everyone who signed up in time, thank you for making Pine Hills your home for the summer. Our coaches are already hard at work putting the final touches on team lists and prepping for an epic season.

*Teeball and Coach Pitch remains open*

Time to dust off the gloves and get ready for the 2026/27 Women's season.

Over 65 future stars took the field on Friday night for the first session of our annual “Give It a Go” program – designed especially for kids who are new to tee ball and coach pitch baseball.

It was a fun-filled evening packed with games, activities, and plenty of smiles as our future stars got their first taste of baseball.

We’re so excited to see these kids learning, playing, and falling in love with the game. Welcome to the Lightning Brigade!
