Our Minor PeeWee Wolves grabbed second place in a tournament in Simcoe on the weekend. Fighting downpours at times, the Minor PeeWee Wolves emerged Saturday undefeated, and then won both quarter and semi-final games only to come up a bit short against a strong team from Welland in the championship match. A nice Father's Day present and a wonderful outcome for all involved!

Congratulations are in order for our 18U Major Midget Rep Wolves on their outstanding achievement last weekend in Stratford. With all cylinders firing, the team who won 3 straight games on Sunday to earn the championship with a tight 4-3 victory late Sunday afternoon over Halton Hills 1.  A big applause for all players, coaches and parents involved!

We had a wonderful weekend weather-wise and an even better one baseball-wise! Thanks for all the baseball families coming out to support an enjoyable tournament this past weekend. All the teams paid hard, and even though there is only one first place per division, everyone played like they were a champion!

Annual General Meeting

Thank you to all who participated at our AGM on Oct. 24, 2018. It was another great discussion with ideas that will definitely help this association grow and improve over the next few years.

Though we were almost able to fill every single position on the committee again for this coming season, we do have an urgent need to have the role of  Sponsorship Manager filled. This role plays an active part of our pre-season activities and is essential in helping to reduce fees for all houseleague members along with providing local businesses with visibility in our community. Other openings we are hoping to fill are Awards Coordinator, Uniform Coordinator - Houseleague and BOMBA Representative. Feel free to read the volunteer descriptions here to see what the positions entail and if you feel you have the ability to help out in any way with these roles, please feel free to send any inquiries to Candice (president@waterdownminorbaseball.com).

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.
