The 2023 season is just around the corner and your IMBA Board is excited and busy getting ready! 

Here is information on important dates coming up and anything new since our last communication in January.

Registration / Deadlines

AA Baseball / Competitive Softball:           MAR 01 2023

Rec Baseball / Rec Softball:                        APR 15 2023

Tryouts for our AA / Comp teams will be at The Dome in Red Deer, and will begin on MON MAR 06, and will carry over the next 3 weeks.  The tryout schedule is not yet set, but it is likely that our older groups (U15 and up) will be on weeknights and our younger groups (U13 and under) on weekends.

Thanks to those who have registered already … that is helpful as we plan our teams.

Coach / Asst Coach / Manager Applications 

AA Baseball / Competitive Softball:           MAR 01 2023

Rec Baseball / Rec Softball:                        APR 15 2023

Our Teams do not happen without our great volunteers stepping up to run them.

Tryouts or workouts for the Competitive teams are scheduled to begin in The Dome on MAR 06 2023, so we need our Coaches in place by that time.

We are also accepting applications for ANYONE who wants to coach, help coach, or manage our Rec Baseball and Softball this upcoming season. We would like to have those applications by APR 15 2023.

The Coach Application Form is on the IMBA website or can be found by clicking the following link …  http://www.innisfailminorball.com/content/forms .
