SPRING BALL INFORMATION
2025 Spring Ball Season will be 10 weeks: April 7 - June 13
Practices and games will be ninety minute sessions twice per week.
Final schedules are determined by number of teams and field availability. Practices and games will be at SF1 and SF2 (Serauxmen Sports Field). NMBA is planning on combining with Oceanside 13U again this season meaning each team may play a few games at the Parksville fields.
There will be two (2) sessions per night at each diamond. 4:30 pm-6:00 pm and 6:15 pm-7:45 pm. (Note: times may change slightly as the days lengthen.)
2025 Evaluations will be held on March 14, 2025 at Arbutus Meadows indoor facility. Evaluation scores will be used to create balanced teams. All 13U players must attend evaluations.
Team rosters and final schedules will be created in TeamSnap by March 31.
Prospects Ball: 13U Spring Ball players who desire an additional competitive experience have the opportunity to try out for Prospects Ball, which runs concurrently with Spring Ball and provides extra games and practices to these players. Players who play Prospects Ball are required to fulfill their commitment to their Spring House Team. The Prospects Ball program is dependent on other Vancouver Island baseball association participation. Information will be sent out after Spring Ball Season has begun.
13U Spring Ball plays fair play rules.
All players play at least 3 defensive innings per 6 inning game, and all players bat. Coaches are strongly encouraged to give all players an opportunity at all positions (where they are comfortable and won't be at risk of injury). Coaches are strongly encouraged to give all players an opportunity to pitch. The primary objective given to Spring Ball coaches is to make sure all their players finish the season wanting to come back next season.
