Welcome to Oro-Medonte
Minor Ball Association
The Oro-Medonte Minor Ball Association (OMMBA), is a volunteer-run, non-profit softball organization based in the Township of Oro-Medonte, Ontario.
The association is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors and was formed to allow children an opportunity to play an organized sport, develop a love of softball, learn to co-operate and play on a team, learn sportsman-like conduct, develop leadership skills, start physical fitness habits that will last a lifetime, encourage healthy living and have fun. OMMBA offers House League ball at designated diamonds within Oro-Medonte.
Games are once per week with a final tournament/wrap-up the last week of July.
We welcome children and youth from Oro-Medonte and surrounding municipalities.
REMEMBER, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Winning or losing doesn't matter - it's how you play the game.
