2020 Season Cancelled
It is with regret that the executive of the St Marys Minor Ball Association is cancelling  the 2020 season, including all girls softball teams and boys hardball teams. 




There were several contributing factors in making this difficult decision. The most important factor was considering the health and safety of our players, parents, officials, coaches and our community. In addition, Huron-Perth Minor Softball and most neighbouring associations have also made the decision to cancel their seasons. As well, we did not feel confident that we could comply with the rules and regulations in the “Return to Play” protocol outlined by Ontario Baseball. 

Refunds will be issued for all registered players. We will be processing refunds to credit cards within the next week. 

Please continue to follow provincial guidelines for physical distancing and respect the guidelines put forth by the Town of St Marys regarding the ball diamonds and parks in St. Marys.
