St. Margaret's Bay Baseball Association Needs Your Help
Organizations like ours depend upon the support of the community, and rely on volunteers who graciously donate their time, enabling Minor Baseball to exist. We are in need of interested individuals to fill positions as coaches and umpires for the upcoming season. Without more volunteers there cannot be baseball in our community. Please read the following outline of where we need help and see if you could be available to help.
Coaches
Do you enjoy working with children? The smell of fresh cut grass? The thrill of friendly competition? Then maybe coaching is for you. Many parents want to help out on the field but don't know how to get involved. It's simple, call any of the former executives and give them your name. Others say, "I don't know how to coach." Well we can solve that problem too. We will be arranging for a Level One Technical and a Level One Theory course for all our first time coaches. The Level One Theory deals with coaching in general and is required by Sport Nova Scotia for all coaches, regardless of the sport. The Level One Technical is Baseball Specific and is required by Baseball Nova Scotia before you can take the field. The extra bonus is that SMBBA will pay for the coursing if you guarantee coaching a team for the year. Of course we want you to continue but we only require you to do it for the one season.
*** An RCMP screening of all coaches and assistants is required for this upcoming season to protect the children. This process is done as a free service by the RCMP and only takes a few minutes.
Umpires
Are you interested in baseball but not comfortable with coaching, or are you a student over the age of thirteen, that would like to make a little extra cash? Umpiring may be for you. Umps are paid cash at the game and typically make $25 a game. This is perfect for the teenager, fourteen or over, that loves the game and wants a summer job. Again, what you need to do is contact a SMBBA Executive Member or the Webmaster and give them your particulars. We will arrange for your coursing and registration. What we require is a guarantee that you will Umpire six games during the year and we will pay your coursing and registration, (And yes, you still get paid for those six games) if you want to do more or use your certification elsewhere you are free to do so. All we require is the first six games.

Congratulations goes out to the St.Margaret's Bay Mariners, who, over the Labour Day weekend, won the 2006 Nova Scotia Peewee "R" Championship at the Tri-County field in Windsor Junction NS. The Bay Mariners complied a impressive 16-0 record in league play and started their quest for the championship with a 4 game sweep in the Halifax District Championship, followed by another 4 game sweep in St. Margaret's Bay Year-End Tournament. The Bay Mariner battle the remaining Nova Scotia District Champions from Shelburne, Sackville, LWF, and Creignish of Cape Breton in the provincial championship. The Bay Mariners dominated their opponents in the Provincial Championship, by out scoring them 51-12 over the 4 game round robin tournament, compiling another 4 game sweep to finish their season a perfect 28-0.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BAY MARINERS NOVA SCOTIA PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONS !!!!!
