Once competitive tryouts are completed, CHMBA will conduct recreation league player balancing sessions so coaches have a better chance at selecting balanced rec league teams. Although this level of baseball is recreational it is important to have your player attend for balanced teams.
Dates for these sessions will be posted on the website once facilities have been arranged. CHMBA will also email these dates to all parents as well. It is important to provide a proper and legible email address on your registration form if you wish to receive these notifications.
Once rec teams are selected at the end of May, you will be contacted by the team coach with information about the start of the season.
