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.
