Registration

For the 2024 Baseball Season we will be opening the registration process come February 15th for all Divisions in order to give us an accurate representation of athletes in each age division and level of play. Going forward WE WILL NOT be requiring payment for any Rep player fees until your child has been placed on to their respective teams, we will be applying registration fee's 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.

CMBA Registration Policy

NOTE: THIS POLICY applies to the current season registration and does not “grandfather” or allow “carry over” from previous seasons. All CMBA Board Decisions are Final.

Camrose Minor Ball Association is committed to providing an enjoyable activity at an affordable cost for all participants. 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”.

Registration Duration

• Registration will close for AA March 15th and Community Level Teams (11U-18U & 5U, 7U & 9U) will remain open until April 1st.

Fee Structure

• Regular Registration Fees are calculated/reviewed on a yearly basis by Camrose Minor Ball Association and are based on the amount of cost incurred by CMBA to offer a basic program at the particular age level of the registrant. This Registration Fee must be paid by all registrants at each level.
• Tryout fees will be separate from Registration Fees.
• All Rep player fees are included in registration fees, though separate team fee's may apply if you make one of the Representative teams.

Conditions

• All players must be registered with CMBA prior to taking part in any CMBA sanctioned activities (eg. Tryouts or evaluations, etc.), unless CMBA approved Waivers are provided.

• CMBA has mandated a cash raffle with each player registration to sell a booklet of 15 tickets at $5.00 each ($75 per registrant). Parents/Guardians of the registrant will be required to pay for the booklet(s) at time of registration and further information regarding deadline and draw dates will be on the ticket. This raffle is to help offset the general expenses involved with running the association be it diamond use, coach mentorship, equipment, etc.
