Support Minor PeeWee Cooperstown Team's Dance

The 2012 Minor Pee Wee Cubs are hosting a dance at the Knight's of Columbus Hall on Speedsville Road on Saturday January 28, 2012.

There will be a DJ providing the music and a silent auction of many items as well. Tickets are $10 each and can be ordered through our dance organizer, Liz Nieson at e.nieson@rogers.com or Mike Boulanger at Treasurer@CambridgeMinorBaseball.ca

We at CMBA would like to take this moment and inform you as to our process as it relates to the Tier 2 program.

Our first priority is to have a Tier 2 team represent Cambridge at each age group. This would mean if the numbers only support one team then a split age group would be developed and entered into the ICBA. Our best case scenario would be two T2 teams at any age group. Once again the numbers will dictate if we are able to enter minor and major Tier 2 teams. As many of you realize our registration sometimes limits the number of ball players at any age group. You may have noticed from tryouts we had a healthy group of players show up for all but one age group (senior rookie ball which is a carry over from last years junior rookie team). With this in mind and having feedback from our Tier 1 coaches, it is possible that some of the players not named to the Tier 1 teams may also not have quite the skill level at this time to compete at the Tier 2 level. Thus the numbers game.

We are looking to have two one hour interest sessions for Tier 2 and Select programs on Saturday October 22nd and Sunday October 23rd, both days from 2:00-3:00 at the Churchill Baseball Complex on the following field:

Minor Bantam Churchill #1
Peewee Churchill #2
Mosquito Churchill #3.

Players only need attend ONE of these interest sessions.

This will be a one hour time slot to enroll and engage players for the Tier 2 and Select program. This program will be identified as the Tier 2 WINTER DEVELOPMENT CAMPS. It will allow those parents/players to sign up and register for winter development camps and participate in weekly programs at a local gym. This will give all interested House League, Select and Tier 2 players a head start on the season next April.

If you are unable to attend either interest session than please complete the feedback form indicating your interest in participating and your child will be added to the list. Click Here
