Caledon Minor Baseball Rep and Select Program

Caledon Minor Baseball Rep teams play in the York Simcoe Baseball Association (YSBA), an affiliate of Baseball Ontario. Team selection begins in September with fall tryouts, which leads team activities starting in January to April with weekly indoor practices. League play starts the first week of May against other teams in Simcoe County, York Region, parts of Durham Region and Toronto.

*Decision to field a select team (9U/11U/13U/15U) is based on the ability to field a Rep Team at both the Minor & Major levels
