Social softball competitions are coming to the Gold Coast
Bat, ball, and a bit of yelling from the bench. The good kind. If you can hit a piñata you're qualified.

Softball on the Gold Coast: what to expect
Softball is baseball's friendlier cousin: a bigger ball, underarm pitching, and a game where the bench is half the fun. Social slow-pitch softball is built for mixed teams and mixed abilities, because a gentle underarm pitch means everyone gets bat on ball. There's sprinting when it matters and standing around with your mates when it doesn't, which is roughly the perfect ratio for a weeknight comp.
How SportUP softball comps will work
When softball launches on the Gold Coast, it'll run like every SportUP comp: one night a week, short seasons, refs and gear sorted, tunes on, and a ladder that matters just enough. Book as a team or join solo and we'll find you one. We already run social comps across the Gold Coast. The first softball venue will go wherever the waitlist is strongest, so rope in mates from your end of the coast.
And every comp is backed by our Pinky Promise. If you don't absolutely love your first game, we'll find you a better fit, cover your next game free, or give your money back.
Softball Gold Coast FAQs
When will softball start on the Gold Coast?
As soon as the waitlist is big enough to fill a first season, usually 6 to 8 teams' worth of players. Every signup genuinely moves it forward, and waitlist members hear first, before we announce it anywhere else.
Do I need a team to play softball on the Gold Coast?
No. Join the waitlist solo, and when we launch you can book as an individual and we'll place you in a team. Plenty of our current players started exactly that way.
I've never played softball. Where do I start?
At the plate, probably swinging. Slow-pitch softball is designed to be hittable, and fielding positions mean there's a spot for every level of enthusiasm. You'll learn the rules by playing, same as everyone else did.
Do I need a glove and bat for softball?
No. Bats, balls and catching gear are provided. If you have your own glove, bring it. If not, you'll share like it's Saturday morning sport again.
How much will softball cost?
Pricing is locked in at launch, but SportUP comps usually work out around the cost of a takeaway meal per game, with refs, venue and gear included. The waitlist gets pricing and first pick of spots before anyone else.
Where in Gold Coast will softball be played?
We already run social comps across the Gold Coast. The first softball venue will go wherever the waitlist is strongest, so rope in mates from your end of the coast.
Can't wait that long?
Fair enough. We already run netball, basketball, soccer and volleyball comps every week on the Gold Coast. Solo or with a team, there's a spot if you want one.
