Tri-County Tryout Dates

Thank you all who have registered for our Tri-County Rep baseball programs for 2025. For planning purposes we can now provide some dates for our tryouts which will be held at the East Hants Dome once again this year. Note that for the first round of tryouts (indoor portion), each player will be able to attend two tryout sessions as in previous years. Therefore although there are multiple dates for each individual age group (co-ed), players will only be scheduled for two of them. An email will be sent to each player/parent this week with the exact dates and times. Information will be updated as details are confirmed.

11U
April 4, 5, 6, 18

13U
April 4, 5, 6, 18, 19

15U

Registration for 2025

Baseball Registration is now open.  You will be able to access registration at Bedford Minor Baseball.  Payment can be made via e-transfer, cheque, or credit card (subject to additional fees).  Information is available on the Bedford Minor Baseball site and the registration system itself.
 
Please note that at the Rec level there will be weekend games and the playoffs will be held in August.  For competitive players, August is when provincials are being held.  We understand that this is a prime vacation time and this year we have added a question about known vacation plans/schedule.  It is important if you know when you have planned vacation to please indicate it as it helps build teams, especially at the Rec level.  We have been seeing several forfeits during the playoffs which is very frustrating for all involved.
 
Here are the birth years for each division:
 
7U (Rally Cap) - 2018, 2019, 2020
9U -  2016, 2017 
11U - 2014, 2015
13U - 2012, 2013
15U - 2010, 2011
18U - 2007, 2008, 2009
 
You will need to have your RAMP account and password to register.  Players must be registered under the Participant Registration.  
 
Anyone interested in coaching must be registered as STAFF.  There is no cost to register.  If you were registered last year as a Coach/Staff and must have a Criminal Records Check, these are good for 3 years.  If your CRC expired or you did not coach last year but plan to again then you must submit a new up to date CRC.
 
24U: Anyone who is interested in recreational 24U can register with Hammonds Plains Minor Baseball or Sackville Minor Baseball as we will not be offering a Bedford only program at this level, so best to register directly through those associations. 
 
Any females who are looking for all female teams.  Tri-County will be having all female teams.  These teams do travel all over the province so they are similar to Competitive teams.  Female programs are as follows:  
12U Girls - 2013, 2014, 2015
14U Girls - 2011, 2012
17U Girls - 2008, 2009, 2010
 
Any questions please do not hesitate to reach out.

Volunteers



Volunteers are needed to help in areas such as coaching and executive positions. No sport can be successful without volunteers and Bedford Minor Baseball is no different. We encourage you to sign up on the registration form in the space provided, or contact one of the members of the executive. The association presently is run by a small group of volunteers, who also volunteer with various teams as coaches or managers.

If you are interested in coaching and would like some formal instruction, Bedford Minor Baseball will support you by paying for your start up course, which consists of an on-line course and a four hour technical course.


What do I get for my registration fee?

Players in the 7U - Rally Cap and the 9U division get a hat and t-shirt to keep, as well as Baseball Canada hats through our Rally Cap Program. 

At the recreational level, players receive a hat to keep and they will keep their pants at the end of the year.  If they are not plannning to play next year than we would ask that you return them so we can use them in the future.  Players who plan to play next season and out grow them than they can return them next season and get a new pair of pants.  Players in 11U, 13U, 15U and 18U must return jersey at the end of the season.

In all age groups, equipment such as baseballs are provided by the Association, along with all umpire and field associated costs.  Bedford Minor Baseball also insures all players with Baseball Nova Scotia, at a cost of $30 per participant.  

All players need to have their own baseball glove, batting helmet, and bat.  Players should wear a protective cup (boys) or  jill (girls), pants, and proper footwear (sneakers or plastic cleats). For safety, no shorts or sandals.
