Registration

---

For the 2021 Baseball Season, we will not be taking registration or raffle ticket fees until we have received confirmation from Baseball Alberta of a Season Plan for all age groups. We have opened up the registration process in order to give us an accurate representation of athletes in each age division and level of play. Once we have confirmation of a 2021 Season, we will be opening the tryout registration for our Competitive Levels with payment due at that time. Once your athletes have been placed on to their respective teams, we will be applying regular registration along with raffle ticket fees to your ramp account at that time for payment. 

 

 

 

If paying by cheque, please have separate cheque's written for the Registration payment and the Raffle Tickets.

The association welcomes participants residing within the City and County of Camrose and extends that welcome to players outside of the county, if registration with the association meets the criteria outlined in the “CMBA Player Import Policy” and Baseball Alberta “Player Transfer Guidelines”.

• Tryout fees are included in the Representative level Registration Fees. 
• Any player who is selected by a Representative level team, will be levied a fee to cover the costs of additional expenses incurred at that particular level. This fee will be collected by the team representative and paid in full to the CMBA registrar.
