The Canberra Cavalry baseball club has cut ties with a human rights group linked to the Church of Scientology, after information of its affiliation with the religion was not disclosed to the club.

Youth for Human Rights is an international non-profit organisation that purports to educate young people about human rights issues, but its funding was primarily supplied by the International Association of Scientologists.

This information was not disclosed to Canberra Cavalry when the organisation's Australian arm attended Cavalry baseball games and handed out pamphlets between 2013 and 2014.

Cavalry chief Donn McMichael said it was likely the club allowed Youth for Human Rights to attend the games because their links to Scientology were not readily obvious.

"We've got a firm agenda that we don't distribute or we don't become involved in any religious or political distribution of materials," he said.

"So it would be very unlikely to have occurred had they declared their affiliations.

"I think there was a misunderstanding as to who they were representing."

Mr McMichael said he had made it clear that the baseball club did not want to involve itself in political or religious matters.

"Anyone is welcome at a Cavalry game, but we're not about to become a vehicle for anyone," he said.

"They're under no illusions as to what our position is for any future involvement."

It is understood the materials handed out at the games did not directly reference Scientology.

The group has come under fire before for distributing materials that discussed the teachings of the controversial religion.

In 2009, it was revealed Youth for Human Rights sent pamphlets and DVDs to schools across Australia.

The materials showed revolutionaries like Martin Luther King Jr and Mahatma Ghandi alongside an image of the religion's founder L Ron Hubbard.

Comment has been sought from a Canberra representative of Youth for Human Rights.
