The start of the season is just around the corner. Team Rosters are being entered into the system as I type. Coaches will have their team lists and schedules this weekend, so you should hear from your coach at the start of next week. The season is suppose to start the week of May 15th. At this point in time the City of Hamilton has not released the diamonds for use yet and due to the weather we will probably be waiting a few more days. Also, due to the weather, the 2 new diamonds at Joe Sam's are awaiting completion. As a result the first few weeks of the schedule will be slightly altered as we have to use the diamonds that are available to us. We appreciate your patience as we deal with the weather. As you know baseball is a weather dependent sport and we will do our best to get in as many games as we can. Players are required to have a helmet and glove, cleats are optional.
Thank you to all of our volunteer coaches, we couldn't run the seaon without you.

Annual General Meeting
Thank you to all who participated at our AGM on Oct 19, 2017. It was another great discussion with ideas that will definitely help this association grow and improve over the next few years.
Once again we were almost able to fill every single position on the committee, compared to a handful of people who have been running the association for the past few years. This will be president Candice Rivait's innagural year running the show after being an invaluable contributor the past few seasons.
Thank you once again to all the parents and players for your support and enthusiasm over the past season. A special thank you to the committee members that worked to help run the association while wearing many hats.
