Notice about balls landing in private property
The OMBA would just like to remind everyone that if during a game or practice, a ball lands in private property adjacent to one of the diamonds, under no circumstances should anyone enter that property to retrieve the ball without the owner’s permission. On many diamonds this is not an issue but on diamonds such as Littler Field, Diamond #8, or JPII, there are many homes or property in close proximity.
Please pass this important information on to your team coaches, managers, parents and players.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Sportsmanship at it's best!
In case you have not heard of that wonderful story that was all over the news about sportsmanship in softball,
well you definitely want to see these three YouTube videos:

OMBA is looking for people interested in learning how to Umpire.
We need students, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandmas, grandpas, basically anyone willing to learn how to umpire games of all ages in and around Okotoks. Basic training will be supplied free of charge and once qualified you could potentially be paid for every game you umpire. Please note that you would not be a "certified umpire", for that you'd have to attend a Level 1 course in Calgary. Our course would give you enough training to be able to comfortably do House League games only. Our long term goal is to have enough umpires in Okotoks and area to be able to have an umpire at all games but we need your help to make this happen. Hockey's done it, why not ball? If you enjoy the game of baseball/softball and enjoy working with kids then this is your chance to help out and get paid for your efforts! Leagues run from May thru June and then if you were certified you could possibly umpire in playoffs or even provincials and beyond. Yet another opportunity is to extend your season by helping to umpire adult slo-pitch games at On-Deck thru Aug & Sept. If interested, please contact - yet to be announced
