Bantam (15U)
Welcome to Bantam!
Bantam 15U is for players born 2009/2010. This is a tiered division with ALL teams being created after February Evaluations
Early Bird Registration Discount until January 31st!
This division will have 2 practices + 2 games per week with games being on Monday/Wednesday/Sunday. All teams will have practice time on Saturdays and another throughout the week.
Bantam "A" Spring teams are created after February evaluations and a draft and will likely consist of a number of RMMBA teams who interlock (play other associations). There will be evaluations in May to create our Summer "A" team. Games and practices for "A" will take place at Albion Sports Complex.
Single Season Teams - meaning the teams formed in February will play in one continuous season from April to July
Our
Bantam "AA" single season team interlocks with throughout the GVRD and Fraser Valley teams and will be registered for a travel tournament. This is a competitive team and your player's commitment is very important at this level.
*There will be an additional team fee charged on top of the regular Spring Registration fee for this program. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have questions about the cost and commitment level for this program.
Our
Bantam "AAA" single season interlocks throughout the GVRD and Fraser Valley, and also includes some games and tournaments on Vancouver Island and into the Interior/Okanagan. The "AAA" runs through to the end of July and could possibly continue into August with Westerns and Nationals. This is a highly competitive team and your player's commitment is very important at this level.
*There will be an additional team fee charged on top of the regular Spring Registration fee for this program. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have questions about the cost for this program.
*Note that AA and AAA teams will have a third practice per week and games and practices will take place at Pitt Meadows Athletic park.
RMMBA is volunteer run from top to bottom - PLEASE READ THIS PART CAREFULLY
This year we are initiating a new system that will come up as part of your registration process. You will get the choice to either:
- Sign up for enough volunteer jobs to count for 8 points
OR
- Opt out of volunteering and pay the $150 fee - this will be added to your registration fee
We will hold coaches’ clinics for those that can commit to coaching. Those that cannot coach are still required to volunteer at EVERY game. Coaches need to focus on coaching, parents must set up/take down the fields, ensure the safety of the children waiting to bat, help with warm up and cool down. It's a very small amount of work if we all do our part, but a huge job if you let it all fall on your coach! There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer on a team level and an association level.
Volunteer hours will be tracked by your team manager
