FAQs

The house league program does not have games on Friday, Saturday or Sunday's with the exception of the annual June tournament weekend (June 19-21 2026). 

Coaches may schedule practices on weekends however, participation is not mandatory on weekends at the house league level (with the exception of tournament play).

SMBA aims to make teams fairly and equally skilled to ensure that games are competitive. The SMBA Registrar makes the teams based on:
  • Sponsors
  • Coaches
  • Sibling requests
  • Friend requests, where possible
  • Skill ranking based on the house league evaluation or self evaluation
Age categories for the house league program are identified below and based on year of birth.

SMBA does not allow players to register to 'play up' a division. SMBA will monitor ages

The SMBA wants all players to enjoy their experience and baseball is a great opportunity to make new friends and meet new people. However we recognize that having a friend on the team or for transportation purposes can help a player when there is a special need.

The SMBA will try to honor friend requests but they cannot be guaranteed. Our objective when selecting teams is to have fair and balanced play.

The following guidelines will be used when assessing friend requests:

  • One sibling request
  • One friend request is allowed per child. Requests for multiple players cannot be guaranteed.
  • A friend request will only be considered if it’s reciprocal (A requests B and B requests A.)
  • Friend requests across tiers or divisions will not be considered, players must play within their division.
