Why Fees Have Increased This Season
While surrounding organizations have increased their fees over the years, Collingwood Minor Baseball has remained the most affordable baseball organization in our area — especially for Rep and Select teams. We’ve kept our prices low for more than 5 years, even as costs continued to rise.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been absorbing increased expenses for diamonds, umpires, YSBA & OBA dues/fees, and insurance for all players — without passing those costs on to families. To keep our programs strong and sustainable, a small fee increase is now necessary.


But there’s good news, too!
For the first time ever, every player will receive a brand-new uniform.


Collingwood Minor Baseball is refreshing our look for all divisions this season. The new uniforms are higher quality, more cost-effective, and will match the fan wear we’ll be offering. It’s been over five years since our last uniform update, and this refresh will help create a consistent, modern look across the entire organization.


If you have any questions, concerns, or are interested in joining as a volunteer, please DM us or email [email protected].


Thank you for your continued support — we’re excited for an amazing season ahead!
