What does house league baseball look like?
House league baseball is designed for players to enjoy the game, be active and interact with their peers, while developing the physical skills associated with baseball. Specific schedules can vary depending on registration numbers and diamond allocations.
Generally, house league teams play once per week. Practices are at the discretion of the coach but usually once per week as well, or prior to game time in the youngest division. Games usually start between 6:00 and 6:30 and the season runs from the last week of May to about the third week of August. Official schedules will be available prior to the start of the season.
Because diamond space is limited, teams will play on various nights. See tentative nights on our website slider. See below for information on the required equipment.
Teams are usually formed in late April/early May. If you do not hear from a coach by May 20, please contact CMBA.
