1. When does the season start?

Season starts approximately one to two weeks before “May 24 Weekend”.  All others start after the May long weekend.  TBall may even start in June since they only play 10 games.


2. Do we play in Everett Only?

No.  Half of the divisional season games are home and away.  For example, there are 14 games in Tyke.  7 are Away games and 7 are Home games. We travel to other centres within the South Simcoe Minor Baseball Association (SSMBA). The SSMBA is our umbrella body that governs all house league rules for at least 16 centres across Simcoe County and parts of Dufferin and Grey County. Rules, Schedules and Standings, etc are on the SSMBA website ssmba.ca

3. When we join, do we need to buy anything?

You need a jock or jill for all games or practices.  NO exceptions. A good pair of baseball/soccer cleats shoes (no metal spikes)… and lots of patience.  That’s it. Baseball hats are keepers, jerseys must be returned to the head coach at seasons end.  

4. Is Everett Baseball a town organization?

No.  Everett Baseball Association is a community volunteer non-profit organization called a ‘centre’ or ‘town’ under the umbrella of the South Simcoe Minor Baseball Association (SSMBA).  The SSMBA governs all house league rules for at least 16 centres across Simcoe County and parts of Dufferin and Grey County.  Rules, Schedules and Standings, etc are on the SSMBA website ssmba.ca

5. What night does my child play?

There isn’t a set night until after the coach’s meetings.  Coach meetings are set end of April and first week of May.  Once head coaches are found and allocated a team, they are given choices for what will be their “home” night. It could be any night.  It’s largely dependent on availability of the volunteer coach’s time.  This home night represents the team’s home game time and practice time.  Coaches will then have a Coach’s Scheduling Meeting with the SSMBA by no later than early May.  Then the schedules are posted on the SSMBA website and distributed to all coaches within the SSMBA.
