The cost to participate in tryouts for the 2025 season is $25 per player.  KMBA expects coaches to employ a wide variety of evaluative strategies, both on a diamond and utilizing our indoor facility, including but not limited to:

o   Stations on the diamond, in the outfield

o   Batting cages

o   Bullpens

o   Player interviews and surveys

o   Exhibition Game format via split squad or against another tryout roster

Roster Selections

• Any players being released may be notified via email or online
• KMBA rosters will be formatted using the following structure:
  • 8U/9U – minimum of 12 players,
  • 10U/11U – minimum of 12 players,
  • 12U/13U – minimum of 12 players,
  • 14U and up – minimum of 12 players

• Roster selections will take place during age group specific roster selection meetings and will start with the top team and then move through the Baseball Ontario registered rosters. All head coaches in the age group will deliberate and create the rosters together. In the event that there are not 8 players and a secured head coach for a team on October 15th, a team will not be formed, and the players will be given details for our HL Program. If a team is formed, it must have a full roster by February 15th, or the team will fold and the players will be given details for our HL Program.
