OKOTOKS MINOR BALL JUNE 2012 ISSUE 4
Community Baseball for 2013 Season
Community Baseball - for those looking for a bit more experience and competition for their children in the Rookie and Mosquito divisions, OMBA can register a Community Team with Baseball Alberta to compete in provincials in and throughout July. This would be at the Rookie age category and up- coaches would have to be secured to make this happen. If interested in coaching and developing this team to compete in the Baseball Alberta Community division, please contact President of OMBA or VP Baseball, Player and Coach Development to discuss the potential of entering a team.
OILFIELDS PEEWEE TOURNAMENTOilfields Sports Association would like to send a huge thank you to all the teams that participated in the Pee Wee tournament. I judge the success of the tournament by the watching the kids play and personally feel they had an awesome time! There was some really superb ball and it was a great opportunity for the kids to hone the skills their coaches have been working hard to teach them. Thank you to all parents and coaches for your tireless support.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OKOTOKS 1 FOR TAKING FIRST PLACE AND OKOTOKS 3 FOR
PLACING 2ND.

Mosquito Outlaw Team Blue has five players on the team that have never player competitive baseball before and were one win away from playing in the finals of the Doc Plotsky baseball tournament in Sherwood Park this past weekend. Way to go team!
PeeWee Outlaw Team Orange played five games in the Doc Plotsky baseball tournament in Sherwood Park including 3 in a row on Sunday, narrowly missing going to the final in a 11-6 loss to Camrose after being on the ball diamond for the whole day - a great effort by the players!! This team is now in the Baseball Alberta Tier 1 Competitive Division as well, going 5-1 in the first round.
