PHOTOGRAPHY AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Photos and/or videos will be taken at MUSC training and games for use in social media and club marketing. If you do not wish for your photograph to be taken and/or used for marketing purposes, please speak to a member of the committee.
SOFTBALL VICTORIA REGISTRATION
MUSC is part of the Melbourne Softball Association, which is affiliated to Softball Victoria. All MUSC players must therefore be registered with Softball Victoria. Players who have already played with another association (eg during summer) in the year October 2020 to September 2021 do not need to re-register with Softball Victoria but must apply for a permit from their first-choice association which must be forwarded to MUSC at secretary@melbourneunisoftball.org.au. If you have a permit from another club, please register as a permitted player to avoid paying the cost of Softball Victoria registration twice.
