GERRARDS INSURANCE BROKERS - Official Partners of SNZ

Softball New Zealand is proud to partner with Gerrards Insurance Brokers, an established New Zealand insurance brokerage committed to helping individuals, families, businesses and organisations protect what matters most. Gerrards specialises in providing tailored insurance advice and solutions, taking the time to understand their clients' needs, identify risks and arrange cover that provides peace of mind.

For Gerrards Co-founder and Chief Executive Ethan Gerrard, the partnership is an opportunity to support a community already close to the business, with current Black Sox player Seth Gibson and Under 23 Black Sox representative Reuben Elkins both closely involved with Gerrards. Their involvement brings a genuine understanding of the sport and the players, whānau, volunteers and organisations that keep softball thriving across New Zealand. At the heart of this partnership is a shared commitment to supporting our softball community, both on and off the diamond. It's a simple philosophy that brings it all together: softballers helping softballers.

As part of the partnership, Gerrards has secured naming rights to the Gerrards Insurance Under 18 White Sox and the Gerrards Insurance Under 17 Girls Nationals, taking place in Counties Manukau in January 2027, alongside broader support for Softball New Zealand's national events.
