Want to know more about Rep and Select before making your decision?

Below is an overview of each division and the commitment expected. 

Rep and Select Baseball at CMBA
Select is generally designed as a stepping stone from House League into a more competitive baseball style. Players on the Select team do not play on a house league team. Select teams have at least one practice during the week and play games on the weekend (mostly double headers). There may also be 2-4 tournaments a year. Tournament locations can vary; as far east
as Ottawa and as far west as Windsor. Teams can choose which tournaments they want to enter and how far they want to travel. Individual travel costs (hotels, meals, etc.) are not covered by CMBA.

Rep is a more competitive league.  Rep teams have at least one practice each week and one or two games. Games are usually scheduled through the week but may be scheduled on weekends as well. Collingwood Minor Baseball Rep and Select teams compete against teams in the York Simcoe Baseball Association (YSBA) and in some cases, inter-lock games against teams in the Toronto Baseball Association (TBA). Team selection begins in September with fall tryouts.  Team activities generally begin in the Spring with indoor training. League fees are typically required to be paid before any team activity participation. League play starts the first week of May, contingent upon weather.
A typical season consists of the following:
o    16-20 regular season games
o    3-4 weekend tournaments (1-2 out of town with a hotel stay)
o    Practices (1 per week on average)
o    YSBA Qualifiers (i.e. YSBA playoffs) in mid-August
o    Ontario Baseball Association (OBA) Championships on Labour Day weekend (for teams that qualify).

The costs to play include the Rep/Select League club registration fee plus additional team fees, as determined by the individual teams. Additional team fees cover cost of uniforms, equipment, tournaments, etc.
