The registration fee covers the following:

  • the player's uniform (jersey and cap at the BlastBall and T-Ball levels; jersey, cap and pants at all other levels)
  • 1 individual and 1 team photo, delivered at the season-ending Field Day (additional photos and other related items may be ordered on forms provided by the FGBA -- the costs of these items are payable directly to the photographer)
  • participation award, presented at the season-ending Field Day

How can a player be registered?

Registration for the 2019 season - for BlastBall (3-5 yr olds) and T-Ball (6-7 yr olds).  Call Lorry 647-544-3565.

Those who may need assistance with the registration fee may find support through the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Program.

What equipment must be supplied by the player?

The FGBA provides all field equipment such as bases and training equipment, and most team equipment, including bats, practice balls, game balls, catcher's gear and batting helmets.  However, only a limited number of shared batting helmets are provided to each team.  A player may prefer to supply his or her own batting helmet, which should be a CSA-approved, two ear-flap helmet.  

At the BlastBall and T-Ball levels:

  • Each player must supply his or her own fielder's glove. 
  • The diamond infields are not grassed.  Each player should wear long pants (preferably black) to practices and games for protective reasons.
  • Each player should wear good running shoes to practices and games.  Baseball shoes may be worn, but are not necessary at these levels.  However, metal spikes or cleats are not permitted.

At the Rookie Ball and older House League levels:

  • Each player must supply his or her own fielder's glove.
  • Each player should wear athletic support/protection (jock/jill).
  • Baseball shoes are recommended.  However, metal spikes or cleats are not.

 

Are tryouts required in order to be assigned to a team?

Tryouts are not required for House League players.  All registered players will be placed on a team, subject to the availability of roster spots, in the order of the date of paid registration.  Players at all levels of skill are welcome at House League -- no previous baseball experience is necessary.
