: Perth, WA – After extensive consideration and careful review of all available
: options, Perth Heat regretfully announces our withdrawal from the 2025/26 Aus

: In recent months, we have actively explored a range of solutions to secure the
: club’s future, including pursuing Not For Profit status, seeking new investm
: ent, and considering a suitable sale.
: We also held preliminary discussions around extending government support, reco
: gnising that these processes require time, due diligence, and collaboration. T
: he government has
: been a valued partner, and we appreciate their ongoing support, including prev
: ious funding that has been vital to our operations.
: Unfortunately, unforeseen developments with the league and changes to the comp
: etition format, combined with the timing of these events, created challenges t
: hat could not be overcome within the window available.
: Ultimately, these factors left us with no viable alternative that would safegu
: ard the long-term sustainability of the club and baseball in Western Australia
: .
: Whilst we are disappointed not to have brought the Claxton Shield back to WA,
: we are proud to have maintained the ballclub’s competitive legacy—making t
he
: ABL Championship
: Series for four consecutive seasons and five of the last six, as well as quali
: fying for the finals every season during this period. This achievement is ate
: stament to the dedication and resilience of everyone involved with the Perth H
: eat.
: We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the players, coaches, staff, volunteers,
: and supporters who have contributed to our journey. Your passion and commitme
: nt have been the foundation of our success and the spirit of baseball in Weste
: rn Australia.
: We remain deeply committed to our community and the sport, and we hope future
: opportunities will allow us to return to competition. We thank everyone forth

: Yours sincerely,
