We are sliding into home plate finalizing our teams for the upcoming season starting Monday. Note that the system may send out emails erroneously before your team has been finalized due to a glitch in the system. Once the players have been firmly set for their team, we are asking coaches to send out communication regarding your specific team, so please be patient awaiting your upcoming schedules as we are trying to balance teams to the best of our ability. Hope everyone is prepared for an exciting season and hope you to see on the diamond next week!

We are into full gear trying to get the schedule for the upcoming season together. We have been a little delayed getting details out due to the uncertainty of the availability and condition of the diamonds and what will be released from the city to play on. We have met with the coaches though and you should hopefully get your schedules with the next coming weeks. Thanks for your patience!

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.
