Baseball WA is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with Healthway, working together to create healthier, safer and more inclusive sporting environments for players, families and communities across Western Australia.
For nearly 30 years, Healthway has supported Baseball WA and the broader baseball community, using the power of sport to encourage healthier options and positive behaviours.
The renewed two-year partnership will build on this legacy, with a focus on healthy eating, mental wellbeing support, inclusive participation and continuing to reduce alcohol-related harm through Baseball WA clubs, programs, competitions and events.
From junior players taking their first steps into the game to families, volunteers and clubs in metropolitan and regional communities, the partnership will reach people at all levels of baseball across the state.
Healthway’s support will be embedded across participation programs, State Championships, regional development and inclusive initiatives, while helping clubs create healthier environments within their own communities.
Baseball WA CEO Lachlan Dale said the continued partnership would benefit not only those participating in baseball, but the communities that surround them.
“Our partnership with Healthway allows us to work directly with our clubs to create healthier, safer and more inclusive environments for players, volunteers and families across WA.”
“Importantly, the partnership provides practical support to clubs to make positive changes that benefit their members and broader communities.”
Healthway CEO Colin Smith said this partnership recognises the important role baseball clubs play in supporting the health and wellbeing of communities across WA.
“Through healthier food and drink options, welcoming family-friendly environments and mental wellbeing support, we’re helping more people belong and reach their full potential.”
At its heart, the partnership recognises the important role community sport can play beyond the diamond, building confidence, connection and belonging, and creating places where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds can participate and thrive.
