Southern Hills Warriors Charter
Junior baseball in WA is aligned with Little League International. Under the Little League International system, teams are formed in Charters which are generally based on geographical areas all around the world. In WA, Charters are formed by groups of clubs that are near each other. In our case, Southern Hills Warriors is made up of the following clubs: Byford, Gosnells, Kalamunda, Kelmscott and Roleystone. The clubs that make up a charter can change from time to time. Charters select an All-star team in each age group to compete in the State Championships. Teams that are successful at their State Championships progress to compete in the National Championships. The National Champion Charter All-star team earns the right to compete at the corresponding World Series in the USA.
