June 30, 2021 – Record Article Correction
Dear CMBA Members,
Yesterday The Record published an article incorrectly stating that CMBA would be taking part in the KMBA/WMBA practice protest scheduled for June 30th. Although we support the campaign to let our kids play baseball and will continue to participate in discussions with the Region of Waterloo about this, CMBA did not plan to participate in the practice protest and we ask that our members continue to follow all public health orders at this time. Please note that KMBA/WMBA has since cancelled the planned demonstration and has asked anyone planning to attend to please stay home.
We will continue to provide updates through our website and social media platforms. Continue to stay safe and healthy.
Yours sincerely,
Matt Durocher, PresidentCambridge Minor Baseball Association
June 28, 2021 – CMBA Remains in Step 1
As per the Waterloo Region Public Health announcement on Thursday June 24, 2021, Waterloo Region will remain in Step 1 of the Provincial Reopening framework. Therefore, although the rest of the province will be moving to Step 2 on June 30, 2021, Waterloo Region will not.
What does this mean for CMBA?
⦁ Since Waterloo Region remains in Step 1, we are not permitted to play any games either in town or out of town. The Baseball Ontario Return to Play protocol states that if you are in a more restricted region, you cannot leave that region to play teams in a less restricted region. Baseball Ontario specifically mentioned Waterloo Region and advised that if any teams are caught playing games violating the RTP protocol, there will be sanctions and/or suspensions. I know we thought there might be an opportunity to play games out of town while in Step 1 but that is not the case. No games are permitted for any CMBA teams while in Step 1. Any games that have been scheduled will have to be cancelled and rescheduled.
⦁ From the Rep perspective, the ICBA schedule will proceed as is with the Waterloo Region teams having to reschedule the games they missed. ICBA centres that are permitted to play games have been asked to try and move games up with other centres that are permitted to play, freeing dates later in the season to reschedule with Waterloo Region teams.
⦁ If Waterloo Region teams do not get all their games in, there will be no fines. Given the uncertainty, we are to try and reschedule our games but if we are unable to get them all in, there will be no repercussions.
⦁ Since we do not have a definitive date when we are coming out of Step 1, it makes it difficult for scheduling purposes for our teams. Public Health has advised that mid July is the target but if will depend on the case counts and vaccination rates. Our teams can use mid July as a target but there is no guarantee as to the exact date that we come out of Step 1.
⦁ House League will remain in Step 1 guidelines, training only. No games are permitted during Step 1.
I realize this is disappointing news and we at CMBA share your disappointment and frustration. However, we need to exercise patience and adhere to the Public Health guidelines. As soon as we are permitted to move in to Step 2, we will advise.
Region of Waterloo, ON
CMBA, KMBA, KWHLB, and WMBA, representing thousands of youth baseball players in the Region of Waterloo, call on local leadership to permit Stage Two regulations for outdoor organized youth sports to begin on Sunday, July 4th, 2021.
The Baseball Ontario Return to Sport Covid-19 Guidelines document all of the safety protocols that are followed by our teams. These include, but are not limited to:
In addition to these protocols, players and coaches are required to wear masks while off the field. Coaches must wear a mask when they approach a player, other coach or umpire, and players are encouraged to wear a mask during play.
“Our organizations have been diligently following the protocols that are set by our governing body, Baseball Ontario, and approved by the provincial government. Our players have been training hard, and deserve to begin league play on the same timeline as the rest of the province.” – Ron Mooibroek, KMBA President
“Our passionate volunteers have planned for and are ready to execute a safe summer of league play for our kids. We take our responsibility seriously and have proven to be great partners to each of our cities and the region as a whole.” – Tammy Cumming, VP Houseleague, KMBA & WMBA
As school finishes for the summer, minor sports organizations can help stop the spread of Covid-19 by giving our players an outlet to be with their friends and enjoy physical activity with strict safety protocols in place. Now more than ever, for the physical and mental well-being of our players, we need to let them play. We can’t delay.
“We are concerned about the physical and mental health of our players. The three weeks of Stage One have provided us all with an opportunity to gradually increase our intensity and prioritize arm-care. It’s time for us to engage in meaningful, competitive baseball.” – Matt Durocher, CMBA President
“As President of both WMBA and the Inter County Baseball Association, I am asking for local leadership to declare with conviction that our baseball programs are safe. It’s time to play baseball.” – Mark Schram, WMBA and ICBA President

If you would like to add your voice to the call on local leadership to permit Stage Two regulations for outdoor organized youth sports to begin on Sunday, July 4th, 2021 please email the following individuals:
Update on return to in person baseball activities
June 9, 2021
As per the Provincial Government announcement on Monday, Ontario has moved up the date for Step 1 of the reopening plan. Step 1 will commence at 12:01 on Friday June 11th. The full details of the plan can be found here:
https://www.ontario.ca/page/reopening-ontario
Baseball Ontario has confirmed they will be lifting the ban on in person baseball activities on the same date. We have confirmed with the City of Cambridge that the permits for our fields will start on Friday June 11th as well. During Step 1 baseball activities will be limited to training only. There will be no games or scrimmages permitted during Step 1. There are several criteria that need to be adhered to from CMBA, Baseball Ontario, Waterloo Regional Public Health as well as the City of Cambridge. They are as follows:
- As per the Baseball Ontario Return to Sport Protocols, 2 events are permitted on one baseball diamond. This means that 2 different groups of not more than 10 each, can participate in separate practices on the same field. One team could split into 2 such groups as long as they stay separate throughout the practices. Everyone must stay in their own group and there can be no players, coaches or other persons participating in both events even if the two groups came from one team.
- Any equipment used by one event or group must be cleaned/sanitized prior to use by the other event or group, including if both events are being run by the same team (i.e., a split squad practice). All activities for both events must adhere to the distancing measures required by the provincial government, the relevant municipality and public health authorities and the Baseball Ontario Protocol.
- All activities delivered must adhere to the distancing measures and recommendations, along with any gathering restrictions issued by the Ontario Government, relevant municipality and public health authorities and Baseball Ontario Protocol, including the arrival and departure of players, including:
- Pre-screening before attending (If you are exhibiting symptoms, stay home)
- Attendance tracking (using the On Deck App or a similar tool)
- Regular hand sanitizing (at least every 30 minutes)
- All players need to be fully registered in the CMBA system to step on the field. Due to our insurance requirements, players will not be permitted to participate until they are fully registered.
- The full CMBA Return to Play Protocols can be found on our website - www.cambridgeminorbaseball.ca
CMBA is very excited to be returning to baseball activities as we enter Step 1 on June 11th! We will continue to provide updates through our website and social media platforms.
Please continue to stay safe and healthy.
