Winter Programming Info: KMBA will be offering two streams of 11u training for winter 2025.
- The first stream are open skills clinics. These clinics are offered to work on skills during the off season and are open to players of all skills/experience. Each clinic consists of three sessions. Cost is $60/clinic. Players will register for each clinic separately so they may choose what works for their schedule.
- The second stream are advanced sessions intended for rep players. These clinics are for players who have been in the RiverDogs program or who have been identified as potential rep players. Cost is $150/clinic. Space is limited and as such registration for these sessions will be monitored, if a player signs up that does not match the criteria, they may be asked to withdraw and join the open sessions, If you are unsure where to register, please reach out directly to the Technical Director, Frank Ingram.
Options for both streams are laid out below. Registration will open on November 15, 2024.

Levels/Experience: All welcome!
Cost: $250
Spring Programming Info: Mosquito is where the game of baseball really starts to take shape, players of all skill and experience are welcome! 11u A (house) is usually KMBA's largest division. In order to accommodate the amount of players and varying skills the 11u division will be tiered. Players will attend an evaluation prior to the start of season and be drafted onto a team for the Spring season.
Once allocated to a team, players will be assigned a schedule of at least one practice a week . Games will be on Saturdays.
Unfortunately we cannot give more details regarding practice dates until after teams have been formed.
Special Requests: Due to the size and nature of this division it is very difficult to arrange teammate and coach placement requests unless under exceptional circumstances.
Important: KMBA plans to host the 11u "A" evaluations have been tentatively scheduled for the weekends of Feb 22/23rd and March 1/2nd. Schedules to be determined soon. We ask that players do their best to attend as it helps ensure players are drafted to appropriate tier/team.
11u Mosquito General Information
11u SEASONS
Spring Season (April-June): Mosquito is the division where the game of baseball starts to take shape, it is the year players begin to pitch, catch, hit pitched balls and steal. New players are welcome. Teams are formed through evaluations and a draft - note, this happens before the season starts. We ask you watch your email closely after registration closes. Depending on the number of teams/caliber of skill the association may opt to tier teams within the division. Some years there may be the opportunity for KMBA to create a development team or development program to run through the spring to run parallel or separate from the house division.
Summer "RiverDogs" Season (June - July):
In May, players are given the opportunity to try out for one of KMBA's Summer Select teams. Each summer KMBA is dedicated to fielding as many summer teams as possible, this is often dictated by the number of 11u A teams we field in the spring as well as interested players. These all-star teams represent KMBA as RiverDogs, play in tournaments against other associations from around the province culminating with the provincial championship.
Fall Baseball (September - October):
A time for development and fun. Fall baseball is comprised of players who will be entering the division in the following year as well as players who will be moving into their second year. Fall typically includes general training and at practice scrimmages.
Winter Baseball (January-March):
Winter ball is run in our first class indoor training facility: Sussex Insurance Centre on McArthur Island. Winter ball is designed to offer the players instruction on many of the fundamentals that can get lost in the busy Spring Season. This back to basics approach gives players a fun environment to hone abilities and learn new aspects of the game and keep active during the winter months. These sessions are run as 'clinics' allowing participants to choose the skills they wish to work on.
