CLUB TOOL BOX

This Toolbox has been created to support our Associations and Clubs by providing practical resources, templates, training, policies, procedures and best-practice guidance, all in one place. Whether you're a volunteer, committee member, administrator, coach or club leader, this Information Hub is designed to make your role easier and help build stronger, safer and more sustainable softball communities.

Our initial focus is on Safe Sport, Governance and Volunteers, providing tools that support good decision-making, create positive environments and strengthen the capability of those who give so much to our game. This is a living resource that will continue to grow over time, with new content, guides and resources regularly added to support every aspect of delivering great softball experiences.

Together, we're building stronger clubs, stronger associations and a stronger future for softball across Aotearoa.

Update 18 July 2026

Female Game

SNZ is pleased to release the revised version of ‘The Female Game’ via the SNZ website.

The Female Game is devoted to profiling and promoting female Softballers that have exceeded nationally and internationally.

It promotes female pathways, and profiles those that are fortunate enough to gain a US scholarship and play ball through the US college system. 15 female student-athletes are undertaking scholarships and playing ball within the US college system this year, more than ever before. 

We also promote the various opportunities available to play the game around the globe from professional to semi-professional and from educational to community focused.

Softball is a global sport. It not only offers fantastic pathways but it allows Softballers an opportunity to travel the world, discover new cultures, gain new friends and experience the game in a different light.
