What’s the difference between Rep vs. Select vs LL/SSMBA?

Rep is a competitive league.  The Collingwood Blue Jays play in the YSBA at the A level.  Players on these teams DO NOT play in the Local League.  Expect 1-2 practices and 1-2 games weekly.  Teams also play in 2-3 weekend tournaments per season as well as the year-end YSBA A playoffs in August. In addition, depending upon the division in which they qualify (ie finish 1st or 2nd in the YSBA tournament), they may also play the OBA tournament held mid-August or Labour Day weekend. 

Select is less competitive than Rep but is one level above Local League with a more competitive edge. (Players at the Select level may also play in the Local League but can also opt out.) Expect 1-2 nights of practice(s)/game(s)  with Local League, 1-2 nights of practice with Select and games most weekends including 2-3 tournaments a season at the Select level. 

Local League (either in SSMBA or Collingwood Local House League).  The season runs from mid-May until mid-August depending on the division. 

The younger teams (T-ball, 7U, 9U and 11U) play locally in Collingwood and occasionally to Wasaga Beach and Thornbury in SSMBA.  Expect 1 night of practice and 1 game weekly. 

The older teams (U13, U15 and U18) travel in around the Georgian Bay area. Expect 1-2 nights of practice and 1 game weekly.
