Oro-Medonte Minor Ball Association
Parent Corner

We are looking forward to another fun-filled summer of baseball!

​

• PLAYERS MUST SUPPLY THEIR OWN BASEBALL HELMETS WITH A CHIN STRAP AND MASK, GLOVE AND RUNNING SHOES.

• Rules are carried by each coach as well as by the umpires and are posted on the Rules page here.

​

PLEASE NOTE that Parents/Guardians are not permitted to drop off and pick up, they are to REMAIN AT THE BALL DIAMOND for the duration of the game

and be accountable for their child/children!

 

• Bats are supplied for each team. If your child is bringing a bat to use, please make certain that it is appropriate for their age. Watch to ensure your bat is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, and NSA fastpitch softball.  Umpires and Coaches have the right to exclude any bat from use during a game. If use of inappropriate bats becomes an issue, players will be restricted to using only the bats provided by the association.

• For a few of our umpires, this is their first season umpiring. Please remember that they are young and are learning the ropes. Be respectful.

• Tournament Day will be held on the Saturday prior to the Civic Holiday weekend. Players will be notified of the playoff schedule near the end of the regular season. It will also be posted on the website.

• Please note that alcohol is not permitted on any Township property and is an offence.

• Rain-outs are determined by the coaches of the two teams playing no earlier than 5:30pm. Weather can vary between locations. Coaches will try to let parents know if games are called on account of rain, but sometimes the decision cannot be made until game time.

• It is very important that you inform your Coach if your child will be absent so arrangements can be made to bring players up if required.

• Game locations are at the Oro Lions, Shanty Bay, East Oro Public School and The Village Green Diamonds. The Oro Lions diamond is located behind the Guthrie Arena at the corner of Highway 11 and the 4th line of Oro-Medonte. The Shanty Bay diamond is on Shanty Bay Rd. (Ridge Rd.) just east of the 2nd Line. Do not park at the fire station because you will be ticketed.  The Village Green diamond is located at the bottom of the second line (lake side).  Parking is on Church St. only or on the diamond outfield (access from Bay St) at your own risk. The East Oro Public School diamonds are at 15/16 Side Road and Line 11 N.

• While we take every concern brought to our attention seriously we ask that you keep in mind this Association is run by a handful of volunteers who dedicate their free time so children can play ball. We encourage you to offer a solution to any challenge that arises as well as your assistance.  We are not here to resolve issues that do not directly benefit the improvement of the children or the game.
