SUMMER BASEBALL TRYOUTS
Summer baseball offers 11U players the opportunity to continue developing their skills in a more competitive environment, with teams formed to match ability level and support player growth.
Registration is open to players who participated in the Spring season and players should attend tryouts to be considered for a roster spot. Players will register for one tryout time only and evaluations will be based not just on that session, but also on their house season performance, including practices, games, work ethic, and attitude.
By registering for tryouts, players are committing to accept a roster spot if selected.
The season runs from the end of June through the August long weekend and includes participation in an interlock league, with potential opportunities for tournament play with the goal of advancing to Provincials. Depending on registration numbers and overall skill level, KMBA plans to field up to four teams: 11U AAA, 10U, 11U AA and 11U A.
The 11UAAA, 10U and the 11U AA teams will play in the Sussex Allstar Tournament at the end of June. There is no charge to play in this tournament but all family members will be expected to volunteer for the weekend as the host teams. This is mandatory if offered a roster spot.
Please note that a base summer fee will apply, with additional team fees possible throughout the season. Travel is required and may include hotel stays.
Tryout Information (Mosquito/11U):
- Sunday, May 3 @ 5:00 PM
- Sunday, May 10 @ 10:00 AM or 11:30 AM or 1:00 PM
Summer baseball emphasizes development, teamwork, and a love of the game while providing meaningful competition against teams from across BC.
ADDITIONAL SPRING TRAINING SESSIONS
We are excited to offer a series of Throwing, Pitching & Defensive Skills Clinics this spring. These sessions will focus on developing proper throwing mechanics, pitching fundamentals, and defensive play. Please note that batting/hitting instruction will not be included.
Are you interested in pitching but not getting enough reps in practice? This clinic is for you!
These clinics are geared toward house players looking to build confidence and improve their fundamentals, but all players are welcome to register.
Sessions will take place at McArthur Island and are planned to be outdoors; however, players are asked to bring indoor shoes in case of poor weather and a move indoors is required.

11u (Mosquito) Spring Baseball (2026)
Spring Programming Information
Mosquito is the age where the game truly begins to take shape. KMBA’s 11U division is typically our largest, and to ensure balanced teams and strong development opportunities, the division is tiered.
Players will attend evaluations prior to the start of the season (usually late February or early March). After evaluations, players are drafted onto a team for the Spring season.
Once placed on a team:
-
Players will have one practice per week
-
Games will be played on Saturdays
Practice schedules cannot be finalized until teams are formed.
Special Requests
Due to the size and structure of the 11U division, teammate or coach requests are generally not possible, except under exceptional circumstances.
**Note: space may be limited. We recommend signing up as soon as possible.
House League Evaluations
These will take place indoors at the Sussex Facility on Feb 22nd and March 1st. Times and details to come. We will be evaluating kids during our Winter sessions as well - so not all players will be required to attend these additional dates.

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.
