Can I request that my child play on the same team as another child?

BMBA will not honor requests to play with others, with the exception of siblings. 

My kid is very skilled and quite mature for his/her age, can I register them in a higher level?

No. At least initially, please register in the age appropriate level. You may make a request with the director of division you wish to play in. If there is room once registration closes and skills have been evaluated, you MAY be able to switch to a different level. If you register in the wrong level you be removed and put on a waitlist until registration is complete. See our underage policy here http://www.beaumontminorball.com/content/underage-policy

Why is Waitlist my only option in my requested division?

The Division you are trying to register for is full. You will be contacted in the event a spot is available. Please ensure you do complete the registration forms for the Waitlist as we use the date/time stamp to determine priority.

What does the “level-up” fee go towards?

This fee helps pay for the extra costs associated with Competitive baseball including longer season, umpire fees and Baseball Alberta Fees 

Is there an option to pay in instalments?

Yes. You have the option to pay for registration fees in 3 instalments. This year there will be no fees associated with your initial registration. 

Is there any financial aid available?

We do not offer any financial aid, but we do accept payment via Kidsport or Jumpstart. Visit their websites to see if you qualify and how to apply.

I have indicated that I am willing to coach/manage. How do I know if I’ve been selected?

All division directors will have list of willing volunteers and will contact you prior to the season beginning. Please note a valid Criminal Record check is required to coach. 

My child wants to tryout for a tier that Beaumont does not offer; how do I register with another association, is there anything I have to do beforehand?

If trying out for a competitive level that Beaumont does not offer (ie:AAA), please register (free of charge) on our website first, then register with the other association. Select the appropriate Division, and choose Tryout/Release Registration. This will allow us to release player if successful at tryouts and will also hold a spot for player within our association.

Absolutely, but please make your availability known at the start of the season so we can ensure we have enough players on each team.

Are we required to do any fundraising this year?

The association is not planning any mandatory fundraising this year. Individual team fundraising may occur and is a team decision.

My company is interested in sponsoring a team, division or would like to make a donation towards the BMBA Field of Dreams, is this an option?

Please direct all sponsorship questions to our Coorindator at FundraisingCoordinator@bmbabaseball.com 

Are we required to Volunteer? 

BMBA is bringing back our volunteer program (whoohoo!). There will be an option to buy out your mandatory volunteer duty, or volunteer slots will be offered at different times throughout the season. This is an association volunteer program, and is not tied to team duties which might also be required
In addition, there are often positions on the board that are available as well for those interested.  Look under "Contact" on the website for a list of available positions.
