In April of each year we hold mass evaluations for all players that are registered. This allows the league to fairly balance the teams when team drafts are held in the attempt to create as equal a level of competition as possible across all house league teams within a division. You can view or download this attached PDF file listing the dates, times and locations of all mass practice sessions.

Mass Practice Evaluations

The Hamilton Baseball Umpires Association is hosting a Lavel 1  House League Umpire Clinic for umpires wishing to umpire in the HDBA league this season. This is for Ancaster teams in the Bamtam and Midget divisions of house league play.
 
The HBUA Umpire Clinic is on April 25th at Bishop Tonnos School.
 
Umpires should pre-register on-line at www.hbua.ca.

 
Hamilton is also hosting a Level I OBA clinic (initiation), March 7, and Level II, March 28/29 coaching clinics, if you have coaches who need to be certified.
 
They need to follow the registration procedures at  http://nccp.baseball.ca
 
Level 1 is the minimum needed to coach OBA.

Great coaching is no accident. It starts with a love for the game. It grows from a strong desire to give children the tools they need to succeed on the field and in life. And it can happen in any league, with any team, anywhere in the world.

That's why Little League International created LittleLeagueCoach.org.
 
Expert advice from renowned players and coaches; video demonstrations; skills development drills and exercises.

Little League managers and coaches can get all the tools they need to start their season right or build on what they already have in place.  And it's free.
