| Baseball Calgary 's teams have had a lot of success in the Performance and Competitive leagues. We are always striving to give our players the best quality baseball possible, however, that depends on the level of the players we have. We would love to be able to offer both options: a Performance team and a Competitive team. If you think you can be part of one of these teams, contact our registrar by email at registrar@baseballcalgary.com to give your name and contact information to be invited to the try outs. Also check the website regularly and visit Facebook for the lastest updates. |
Team Formation
Each team will consist of approximately 12 - 16 players depending
on number of registrants, and level of players. The final phases of
player selection will be done with a one-on-one between the
player and team coaches.
Baseball Calgary Registration Fees help support the cost of
registering teams and reserving ball diamonds for practices,
league play, play-offs, and Provincials play-downs. Typically,
teams will require more revenue in order to participate in exhibition
games, and enter tournaments both in Calgary and out of town.
The source for these additional team funds as agreed upon by the
parent majority for each team is the responsibility of each team.
Baseball Calgary will help where possible, however, funds to
support these additional activities is the sole responsibility of the
parents and coaches/managers of these teams. Once team goals
are established, it is the responsibility of each parent/family to
contribute equally to fundraising. All parents should consider
fundraising as part of their commitment to their child's baseball
season. It is the team Manager's responsibility to organize and
meet with the parents to outline the teams goals and monetary
requirements to achieve those goals.

Program Information
Baseball Calgary follows the calendar year of January 1 to December 31.
(ie: whether your birthdate is January 1 or December 31, 2000, you would
be a first year Peewee.)
It is Baseball Calgary's intention to field teams as we can, in either the
competitive or performance level of play. . Baseball players (both male and
female) from Calgary and area are eligible to participate. If a baseball
player lives outside of the boundaries of the city of Calgary and his/her
town and/or league does not have Performance or Competitive teams, that
player may be eligible to play on a Baseball Calgary team. A release will be
required from your nearest Baseball Alberta Association.
Note: If you have questions regarding eligibility for Baseball Calgary,
please contact the Registrar of Baseball Calgary at
registrar@baseballcalgary.com.
Baseball Calgary teams are provided with a full schedule of games
including regular season and Provincial play. Each team's schedule will
vary according to the number of teams in each division, the location of
other teams in the division, and the availability of diamonds. Parents
should be aware that all teams involved in Alberta Provincial play will
require travel and overnight accommodation in centers outside Calgary.
For teams in the Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget divisions, provincial play
downs may extend into late August enroute to the Western or Canadian
Ball Championships. Events such as these require the full team
commitment of parents, players and coaches.
Note: Baseball Calgary does NOT pay any of the costs associated with
travel or accommodation. These costs are the sole responsibility of each
individual team. Baseball Calgary will however assist wherever possible
with various fundraising options for teams to reach their goals.

Pickup Players
As each Baseball Calgary team proceeds to the Provincial Playoffs, they are
eligible to pick up players from teams not entering the Provincials. They will be
allowed to increase their roster by two players. If a Baseball Calgary team
reaches a Canadian Championship event, they will be permitted to increase their
player roster to 18.
It is important for all parents and players to be aware of this rule and understand
that at this high level of competition, it is critical to be as competitive as possible.
Baseball Calgary encourages the pick up of players only if the coaches feel they
need the additional team support. It is not our goal or intention to use these
players as full replacements from existing rosters.
Under normal circumstances, the pick up player is designed to bolster a team's
pitching staff. Because of existing pitching rules, it is common for a team to
exhaust all eligible pitchers at these competitive tournaments. In some situations,
coaches may select players for positions that have arisen due to injury or
perhaps to add team batting power or base running speed. Changing events can
put coaches in a difficult position, and we encourage the full support and
encouragement from all players and parents regarding these matters.
