League News
Dear BMSA families,
Our executive board has been reading news reports, watching city council meetings, and listening to medical and government updates. With all of these things in mind, we have made the extremely difficult decision to not move forward with a regular 2020 House League Season. We are optimistic for next season and will spend the next several months devising a plan to make it possible to play in 2021.
If the fields do become available at some point later this summer, BMSA will look at opportunities to hold Learn to Play clinics to help our players enjoy some outdoor activity, while working on their fundamental ball skills. We would choose activities that would allow for small group drills and social distancing measures.
BMSA has appreciated all the support and patience from our members and we hope to have your support moving forward. For all families with the ability to do so, we would ask that you consider holding your registration with us until next season. This would hold your spot at the current rate and help us as a league to navigate the off season costs. If you chose to hold your registration, you would be eligible to attend any upcoming summer or fall clinics free of charge as a thank you for your support. We understand that in these uncertain times, some of you may require a refund and we are certainly able to accommodate those requests.
We are also working on a t-shirt fundraiser and we hope that you might consider supporting that if you aren’t able to hold your registration. More details will be posted on our Website and Facebook Page in the upcoming weeks.
We will continue to keep you up to date on any league developments and upcoming clinics that we may be able to proceed with and we hope that you are all healthy and safe at home.

Pitchers in Squirt and below will also need to wear a pitching mask if they wish to pitch this season.
game cancellation policyJust a reminder that games are only cancelled by BMSA when our permits for the diamonds are pulled by the city of Brantford. This is usually due to weather issues. If our permits are not pulled, BMSA is still responsible for payment to the city for the parks so the games will not be cancelled. Should games get cancelled you will be notified via email and a message will be posted on this page and on Facebook.
