Registration is now open for Bedford Minor Baseball.  Please follow this Registration Link. 

A player can only be registered in their eligible division. Due to limited availablilty we will not consider moving anyone up a division early until registration has been open for a significant amount of time (end of April). 

For players in 11U and older who wish to try out for Competitive baseball with Tri-County Rangers, please select the appropriate age division with competitive tryout.  There is an additional $100 non-refundable fee to try out included in this registration fee.  Players interested in trying out for Tri-County must be registered by Sunday March 22.  If the option does not appear then please reach out to the association at bedfordminorbaseball@hotmail.com and we will look into it for you.

Individuals looking to volunteer coach in either Rec or Competitive are asked to please fill out a registration under STAFF.  There is no charge for this.  If you have a Criminal Record Check that is dated before March 2024, please attach it to your profile.  CRC are mandatory by Baseball Nova Scotia.  Bedford Minor Baseball would like all individuals to have either a Child Abuse Check done (free of charge online) or a Vulnerable Sector Check.

If you require a CRC, you can go through the process that is available during your staff registration and the cost will be sent directly to Bedford Minor Baseball.  We only cover the costs associated through the system and not if you go to other applications like MyBackCheck, etc.  Those costs will only be covered up to $25.

All players are responsible for their own bat, helmet, and baseball glove.  We are working with Sportchek in Dartmouth Commons to set up discounts where players can go to purchase this equipment (youth bats, cleats, batting helmets and gloves) at reduced costs. 

Please note that for 15U and 18U players this year, bats have changed to BBCOR standards. Players are also allowed to use wood or composite bats, provided they meet these specifications.  BBCOR bats are expensive so if you have wood or composite bats then I would suggest you continue with these as they are more cost effective especially at the Recreation Level.

If any people are interested in umpiring, they can go to BNSUD.ca and reach out to them directly.  Bedford Minor Baseball will pay the registration fee for any new umpires who are registering for the first time.  You will need to pay upfront and then obtain a receipt from BNSUD, and we will reimburse you directly.  You can go to www. bnsud.ca.  Receipts can be mailed to bedfordminorbaseballpresident@gmail.com  This again is only for fisrt time umpires and not returning ones.

Trevor Wamback has created a new YouTube channel where he posts short instructional videos for players and coaches. You can find it here: W28 Baseball. A link to the site will also be found on the Links page of this site.

All players need to have their own baseball glove, batting helmet, and bat.  Players are encouraged to wear a protective cup (boys) or  jill (girls), pants, and proper footwear (sneakers or plastic cleats). For safety, no shorts or sandals.

Volunteers are needed to help in areas such as coaching and executive positions. No sport can be successful without volunteers and Bedford Minor Baseball is no different. We encourage you to sign up on the registration form in the space provided, or contact one of the members of the executive. The association presently is run by a small group of volunteers, who also volunteer with various teams as coaches or managers.

If you are interested in coaching and would like some formal instruction, Bedford Minor Baseball will support you by paying for your start up course, which consists of an on-line course and a four hour technical course.

Players in the 7U - Rally Cap and the 9U division get a hat and t-shirt to keep, as well as Baseball Canada hats through our Rally Cap Program. 

At the recreational level, players receive a hat to keep and they will keep their pants at the end of the year.  If they are not plannning to play next year then we would ask that you return them so we can use them in the future.  Players who plan to play next season and outgrow them can return them next season and get a new pair of pants.  Players in 11U, 13U, 15U and 18U must return their jersey at the end of the season.

In all age groups, equipment such as baseballs are provided by the Association, along with all umpire and field associated costs.  Bedford Minor Baseball also insures all players with Baseball Nova Scotia, at a cost of $30 per participant.  

All players need to have their own baseball glove, batting helmet, and bat.  Players should wear a protective cup (boys) or  jill (girls), pants, and proper footwear (sneakers or plastic cleats). For safety, no shorts or sandals.
