2025 Travel Teams Tryouts
Tryouts for the 2025 season have now completed.
The HHMBA is pleased to announce that we have opened the registration page for our 2025 travel teams tryouts. As we did in previous years, we need all families to pre-register for the tryouts to ensure that all necessary waivers are completed prior to attending tryouts. Your registration fee includes a tryout shirt which will be given to your player at the first tryout.
To register please navigate to http://haltonhillsbaseball.rampregistrations.com/ and register for the following:
Season: 2025 Tryouts
Division: Junior (13u and below) or Senior (14u and above)
Packages: 8U - 18U (Depending on your players age)
The cost is $25 for this registration.
If you are a returning player from last year, please use the same account that you used to register for the 2024 season. If you are a new player please see instructions on our registration system here - https://cloud.rampinteractive.com/haltonhillsbaseball/files/Documents/HHMBA%20Registration%20Instructions.pdf.
--------------------------------------------------
We are opening up tryout registration as early as possible so that we can ensure we have the right number and right level of teams selected. If you are planning to attend please register as soon as possible as this will impact our coaching decisions for 2025.
Players should ensure that they bring their own equipment, including their own helmet, glove and water bottle. Tryout shirts will be distributed again this year, and your athlete should ensure they bring this shirt with them to every tryout.
Attached to this post is the full HHMBA tryout guidelines. We strongly suggest that anyone new to Halton Hills or new to travel baseball read it thoroughly. Many questions are answered within this guide however if anything is unclear, please contact us and we can help guide you.
Questions related to imports (non Halton Hills residents) can be found in this document as well as our release process.
Please note our continuing policy as it relates to level of play the previous season.
- Any player who played the prior season in COBA Select or House League may choose to start their tryout experience at the second round of tryouts if they wish. This is not required but is an option available to the player. We would ask you to inform the Team 1 coach of this decision in writing prior to the start of the first tryout so that they can plan their practice accordingly. Any player indicating this choice would be marked as “released to next tryout” by the Team 1 coach.
*UPDATED TRYOUT SCHEDULE*
Based on current and anticipated tryout registration numbers we will evaluate having a 2nd team for each single year age group. In many age groups, depending on skill level, coaches, and the number of registrants the 2nd team will be a combination of multiple age groups. In previous years we would refer to these teams as "10U/11U COBA Select" or "12U/13U COBA Select" however this year they will be known as 11U Eagles Team 2 and 13U Eagles Team 2, etc. Once the tryouts are complete and the coach of this team will work together with the appropriate rep director to determine the proper classification of this team with COBA. In most cases though "Team 2" will enter into COBA in the "COBA Select" loop. At some ages (9U and 18U) there is no COBA Select loop so these teams will likely classify into the Tier 2 loop at that age group.

F.A.Q.
Question - Can you clarify the guideline regarding attending Team 1 tryouts if my player was on a COBA Select or house league team last year? Am I opting out of the entire Team 1 tryout or just the "first one"?
Answer - Yes, if you decide to opt you are opting out of being considered for the Team 1 team entirely, not just the first of three tryouts.
Question - My child is born in the year 2013 which team/age/level are they trying out for?
Answer - Your player as a 2013 born player would be trying out at the 12U age group (for players born in 2013). If they were to be unsuccessful at the Team1 tryout they would move to the next possible team. If your player is not successful in making Team 2 they would register for House League in 2025 and could potentially be an AP (Affiliate Player) for a travel team.
Question - What is the policy and procedure for requesting a release to play in another centre?
