15U GENERAL INFORMATION

Spring Season (April-June/August):
For 15u baseball there are three potential levels KMBA may offer; "A", "AA", "AAA". Often registration will dictate the number of teams and at what level.
 - "A" baseball is often referred to as house ball. Any players that are not selected to play rep will play in our "A" league. If there are enough teams within KMBA they will play amongst themselves, but in order to ensure game play may need to interlock with other  Interior/Okanagan teams. Some teams may also opt to find and attend tournaments. Teams are drafted after an evaluation in early April and play until mid-June. Players can expect to  be on the field twice a week for practices/games.
- "AA" & "AAA" are elite levels of competitive baseball. The season demands a high level of commitment, with 2 - 3 days per week of practice (starting as early as January), 3 - 4 games within the province starting in April and ending in August. BC Minor Baseball schedules these divisions for the province.

Summer "RiverDogs" Season (June - July/August):
In May, players that participated in Spring "A" baseball may be given the opportunity to try out for a competitive "A" Summer house team. This team will practice twice/week, potentially interlock with other Interior & Okanagan teams, play in tournaments against other associations from around the province, attend zones trying to earn a berth to the provincial championship.

Fall Baseball (September - October):
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.
Recreational programming consists of the practices/training only. Rep players are selected to be invited to specialized training. This invite only season will act as part of the tryout process for Spring single season teams. While we make every effort to allow for some game play for all players, by registering for Fall Ball you understand that any game play is not guaranteed, it is the coach's discretion of who is selected to participate.

Winter Baseball (January-March):
Winterball is run in our first class indoor training facility: Sussex Insurance Centre on McArthur Island. Winterball is designed to offer the players instruction on many of the fundamentals that can get lost in the busy Spring Season. Winterball is an important program for players who wish to try out for the single-season team. Space is limited.
