	Werribee Giants Baseball Club
		Werribee Giants Baseball Club was formed in 1983 primarily as a Winter Baseball Club to give players from the VBA Summer Competition somewhere to play in the Winter. After several years playing in the Geelong Baseball Association the Club decided it was time to step up and joined the Victorian Baseball Association in 1994.
		Werribee is a very progressive club, and from very humble beginnings where the club played on what could best be described as a sheep paddock which had a good diamond on, but no clubrooms etc. progressed to what now rates as an exceptionally good complex.
		The main diamond is fully enclosed with lights for training purposes, a double batting cage and a six person bullpen and one of the best scorers' boxes of any club. Our second diamond is large enough to play two junior games without encroaching on each other.
