If your player is only wishing to play at the Local or River League level, this registration will open up in January 2024 - players who are unsuccessful with OBA, SOBA or PWSA tryouts will not need to re-register at that time.

1.    Please be sure to check your divisions page of this section for selection session dates.

2.    All registered players of WMBA are welcomed and encouraged to attend, regardless of which division previously played. 

·       The process will be to have all players looking to play for WMBA in 2025 (OBA, SOBA & RL, PWSA & LL) attend the team selections. All the coaches will be involved in the process.

·       This will allow the OBA/SOBA & PWSA team to be selected from a pool of all registered players.

·       From there WMBA will be able to determine how the next level of teams will be established.

3.    There will not be additional dates for other next level team selection, all coaches will participate in these selection sessions.

4.    Players are to attend and participate in all selection sessions (special circumstances at Executive discretion ie: illness);

5.    Players, please come prepared with your full baseball gear including water bottles.

6.    Parents are reminded that OBA, SOBA & PWSA require travel, please only attend if you can make the commitment and dedication of a full season to your team, including availability to play the full long weekend in September.

7.    Please pay attention to the WMBA main website calendar for information.

8.    ALL Tryout dates for each team PWSA and OBA/SOBA will be posted in the schedule.

9.    ALL players, including out of centre players must register before being able to try out. Unfortunately players who are not registered will not be permitted due to insurance reasons to participate in the tryout (no exceptions).
