What are the nights of Play?

The 9U BAGL team will join and participate in our community 9U programming (see community coed division information). They will also be a member of the BAGL league and travel to play other all girl teams across the province. Travel to Edson, Rocky Mountain House, Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie or even Strathmore is a possibility. Game schedule set by Baseball Alberta and will be on weekends.

For 12U/14U and 16U, a tryout will occur for the top team.

The top team will be playing in both the BAGL league against all girls and the local CUB/ERRBL league against coed teams. CUB league plays one home game and one away game during the week, with BAGL playing games on the weekends. Both league game schedules are created by Baseball Alberta and nights of play should be expected on any weekday and weekend days. A level up fee will be applied to this top team for the additional programming they receive (see fees). Practice are TBD and will vary pending the game schedules.
The second team will participate only in the BAGL league and only against all female teams, league games are played on the weekend. Practices will be on Wednesday.

What does the season look like?

The game play starts in the first weekend in May. Practices begin indoor in April and will move outdoors once the weather permits, these indoor practices could be any night of the week. The season runs until the end of June with a Provincial Championship taking place on the last weekend in June.

Is there travel involved?

Yes. Travel will depend on how many teams are participating in BAGL and their locations within the province. When determining the schedule, Baseball Alberta will do its best to reduce travel. Last year teams travelled to Lacombe, Edmonton, Edson and Rocky Mountain House.

What is the dress code?

Navy baseball pants with red belt, t-shirt or jersey, with ball cap. T-Shirt and ball cap are included in your registration fee. A jersey is also provided but will need to be returned at the end of the season. If wearing short style ball pants, red socks are encouraged

My daughter is in 7U Rally Cap. Can she play on an all girls team?

Depending on the number of registrations, an all girls team at the 7U Rally Cap age category may be offered.

Girls in Baseball!

This is what Beaumont Minor Baseball wants to see!

After the introduction of girls baseball in 2021, we have had several successful seasons since and look forward to continue building this program!

BMBA continues to focus on recruiting girls from our community, as well as recruiting and educating coaches and umpires involved in the girls program.

Our hope is to have at least one all girls team within as many divisions as we can.

Our belief is that ALL girls who want to play baseball should be able to. We know that girls face enough barriers to joining sports - especially male-dominated sports like baseball - and we want to break down as many barriers to participation as possible.

BEAUMONT PARTICIPATED IN THE BASEBALL ALBERTA GIRLS LEAGUE (BAGL) 2023 PILOT PROJECT

Initiated as a pilot project in 2023, Beaumont and three other communities were invited to participate in the Baseball Alberta Girls League (BAGL) at the 9U and 11U age levels. Following the success of its inaugural season, BAGL's 2024 season also included the 14U age group and welcomed additional communities. BMBA is very proud to say that Beaumont led the number of teams participating in BAGL having teams in all age groups, and with 2 teams at 12U!

With the continuing growth of BAGL, our goal for 2025 is for BMBA's all-girls teams to participate exclusively in BAGL. Structuring of BAGL is similar to AA Leagues with communities hosting 2-3 teams, playing 2 games on game day. League games are scheduled by Baseball Alberta. While Baseball Alberta does its best to reduce travel, this is dependent on the number of teams participating and their locations within the province.

BMBA is very excited about the upcoming 2025 season with continued commitment to create an inclusive and safe environment, increase awareness of girls baseball in the community, foster player development, get more girls on the field and most importantly, have fun.
