Club Information

The Cheltenham Rustlers Baseball Club is based in Melbourne, Australia and in terms of players and club members, we are one of the largest baseball clubs in the country.

Cheltenham is an inclusive family-oriented club which supports a range of teams in both the summer and winter competitions with teams ranging from teeball – juniors aged under 8, right through to Division 1 seniors.

There are 2 seasons in Victorian baseball: summer (Oct-Mar) and winter (Apr-Sept). The Cheltenham Baseball Club operates as one overall club, but is run by a separate committee for each season, overseen by a Board of Management.

Summer baseball

The state-wide summer season is run by Baseball Victoria and goes from October to March.

The club runs teams in juniors (Teeball, Under 12, Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18) and Seniors (various levels starting with elite-level 1sts through to a more social 4th grade team). We also have a Masters team for the over 38s and a Women’s team.

Summer competition runs mostly on Sundays, the main club training night is Thursday.

Winter Baseball

Winter baseball is organised into independent regional or provincial leagues. Cheltenham competes in the Dandenong Baseball Association in the winter season which runs from April through to September.

The club runs teams in juniors (Under 12, Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18) and seniors (various levels starting with A grade 1sts through to lower grade teams).

Winter competition runs mostly on Saturdays, the main club training night is Thursday.
