The Alberni Junior Baseball Association provides the opportunity for players aged 7 to 17 years,  to learn and play the game of baseball.
Opportunities to play the game are offered to players of all abilities, from the beginner just learning the game, to those players aspiring to compete at the elite level.
Our program encourages and promotes the ideals of good sportsmanship, responsibility, fairness and team work.
                                                 Come on out and see what we are all about!
                        

UMPIRES  NEEDED!!
If you are 12 and older, a parent who would like to umpire an occasional game or two,  or a "seasoned" veteran player who would like to assist and give back a little to our  program, we would love to hear from you.  The pay is reasonable, and the camaraderie is great! 

 The development and retention of umpires is paramount to our program and we ask for your support.

If you are interested in umpiring this year please note the following:
Registration for the 2024 season is open at BCBUA.ca
Please register and follow the links to sign up to attend a level 1 clinic.  A local clinic will be held in Port Alberni at the Athletic Hall on  April 6th.  Other dates in nearby communities are available as well.  Please note that EVERY UMPIRE MUST be registered with BCBUA and have attended a clinic to umpire in BC.
To qualify for a refund of registration fees you must have umpired at least two games in our Association.

Once baseball registration has ended on February 23 we will be reviewing and awarding coaching positions in the various divisions.  You must complete the following to be considered.

If you could forward the initial coaching application asap that would ensure you were in the process.  All applications can be emailed to albernibaseball@gmail.com or dropped off at Royal LePage across from the Clambucket Restaurant.

COACHING INFORMATION:

Alberni Junior Baseball welcomes all applications to coach.  To keep the baseball community alive and vibrant we appreciate the value of coaches and your involvement within our baseball community.  The profile of a good coach is not necessarily one who possesses a baseball background, but one has the desire to work with the players in all aspects of the game.  There is always a need for coaches at all levels and the opportunity to learn as you go.  Our Association will assist you in the learning process by offering you the opportunity to learn and grow through the NCCP (program) National Coaching Certificate Program.   We encourage all coaches to at least begin with the online Initiation module which will soon be  a requirement to coach as well as Safe Sport which is available on Coach.ca 

Coaching Requirements:

Coaching Application:

The application to coach is attached. and must be completed.

The Non- negotiable requirement for all coaches in our Association is the Criminal Records Check.  This MUST be done or initiated before you will be given any consideration to coach. It is a mandatory risk assessment rule by our Provincial body and is not taken lightly.  The check can be done through our local RCMP and documents to do so are attached under the Coaches tab.

Thank you so much

Schedules for all divisions will be posted here when completed which should be mid April for most divisions.
