House League Registration

Terms and Conditions

 

1.        NO Pay No Play A registration is not considered final and accepted until the registration fee is paid in full. (See also item 5. NSF Cheques and item 4. Refund Requests)

 

2.        There are three levels of fees. Please read carefully to understand your choices.

 

A.      The Early Bird fee level expires Feb. 28th. Payment in full must be made by that date to qualify for this level. Qualification for Early Bird discount is dependant on full payment of registration fee not on the date registered. Registration at this level guarantees that your child will receive the following:

·   Your child will be included in Picture Day.

·   Your child will receive a uniform prior to the start of the season

·   Your child will play from the very beginning of the season.

 

B.       The Standard fee level expires March. 31st. Payment in full must be made by that date to qualify for this level of Registration Fee. This level guarantees that your child will receive the following:

·   Your child will be included in Picture Day.

·   Your child will play from the very beginning of the season.

·   Your child will receive a uniform prior to the start of the season

 

C.       Late Fee which expires April 15th only means BOMBA will do their very best but cannot guarantee that your child can be placed on a team.

 

 

3.        VOLUNTEER FEE. Your registration fee includes a Refundable, $30.00, Volunteer Fee. BOMBA operates entirely on the generous donations of time by its volunteers. This volunteer fee is not in place to raise money. The fee is there to draw your attention to the fact that your association needs you to make it work. Anyone who does 8 or more hours of volunteer work for BOMBA will receive a refund cheque within two months of the season end of all levels of play. To verify your effort spent on behalf of BOMBA we require written or emailed verification from either a Head Coach or a Director of BOMBA on or before Minor Ball Day. Please direct or remind the person you worked for to notify BOMBA.

 

4.        PLAYER REQUESTS.  Historically BOMBA has tried to meet the individual requests of players to be on the same team as their friends or to have a particular coach. Our registrants or the parents of our registrants, as a whole, have expressed that they place a much greater value on team / division balance and consequently BOMBA will not try to meet individual player requests. Coaches / Managers will still be assured of having their child on their own team.

 

5.        REFUND POLICY: If for any reason you choose to withdraw your child from registration prior to the season commencement there will be a $40 processing fee subtracted from your refund. Any refund requested after season commencement will have a $40 processing fee deducted and 50% of the registration fee will additionally be withheld to cover the costs incurred for uniforms, equipment, diamonds, umpires etc. Referring to item 2 C, The Late Fee level of registration, those registered too late to be placed on a team will receive their registration fee refund in total with no administration charges deducted.

 

6.        NSF CHEQUES: BOMBA will charge $40 administration fee for NSF cheques. Additionally your child will be suspended from further play until the payment is made good. If a cheque is rejected prior to the season starting, the child is not considered registered until the cheque is made good. In Addition the registrant loses their position in the registration order and they lose their Early Bird Status unless the check is made good within the deadline for an Early Bird Fee.

 

7.        NUMBER OF GAMES: Due to many factors BOMBA cannot guarantee the number of games your child will play in a season and in the playoffs. Factors such as weather, diamond availability, number of registrants, umpire availability, holidays, or any other unforeseen issues such as power failure cutting off night lighting will all impact the number of games we can achieve. BOMBA will guarantee a minimum of 15 season games and a minimum of 2 playoff games (at levels participating in playoffs) for every team. It is our goal to approach 18 season games. Since we do guarantee a minimum of 15 season games our target dates to finish the regular season may be impacted to meet this goal.

 

8.        GAME NIGHTS:

A.      At the levels of Blast Ball, T-Ball, Soft-Toss, Rookie Ball, and Mosquito all teams will be scheduled to play two nights a week on the same nights weekly.

·   Blast Ball will play on Mondays and Wednesdays.

·   Tee-Ball will play on Tuesdays and Thursdays

·   Soft-Toss will play on Mondays and Wednesdays.

·   Rookie Ball will play on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

·   Mosquito will play on Mondays and Wednesdays.

B.       All factors affecting games as listed in item 6. NUMBER OF GAMES above, will influence the games that can successfully be played each week.

C.       At the levels of Pee Wee, Bantam, and Midget, the goal is also two nights a week but the nights played will be any two nights, Monday through Thursday night and possibly Sunday night, and will most likely change every week. At these levels the teams play an interlocking schedule with numerous other communities and we are at the mercy of their diamond availability times as well as our own.

 

9.        SEASON START AND FINISH DATES: It is BOMBA’s goal to start our season play in the second or third week of May and finish within the last week of July. The Playoffs (at levels applicable) will start in the first week of August and will finish on Minor Ball Day which is tentatively scheduled on the 2nd Saturday of August. Again all factors outlined in Condition # 6 above will dictate our success in achieving these goals. Many of you would like us to be more definitive about our dates because of vacation planning. However, as you must realize there are many factors far beyond our control and at the same time we want to be sure your children get a fair and reasonable amount of playing time. This issue of achieving adequate playing time is the dominant factor which may override our target completion dates.

 

10.     PARENTS / GUARDIANS are responsible to ensure that a player is in good health and has sufficient medical coverage, over and above the minimal insurance provided to the Association.

 

11.     PARENTS / GUARDIANS are responsible to purchase and ensure that the player wears the appropriate protective gear (i.e. jock or jill), when participating in all athletic events.

 

12.     FOOTWEAR at all levels of House League play, athletic running shoes are acceptable. If the registrant chooses to wear baseball shoes metal cleats are not allowed until the level of Midget.

 

13.     BASEBALL GLOVES for all players are the responsibility of the Parent / Guardian to supply. The one exception to this is the “Decker”, which is used by all catchers, will be supplied by BOMBA, one to a team.
