Info
Welcome to the 2027 SMBA Competitive Stream Tryout page.
All the information you will need for the tryouts can be found here. This page will be updated as we go and new information becomes available.
This year tryouts will be $50, which makes you eligible to try out for both Rep A and Dedicated Select teams. You do not need to participate in Rep A tryouts to be eligible to try out for Dedicated Selects.
If you would like to try out for the remaining teams and have not yet registered please email vp.communications@soominorbaseball.com your players name, birth date and division they are trying out for. Also, please e-transfer $50 registration fee to payments@soominorbaseball.com.
This year, as part of the Competitive Stream tryouts, SMBA has decided to partner with Rebel Baseball Institute (RBI) to provide comprehensive and objective baseline evaluations for each player. This service is included as part of the tryout fee, and should be completed by each player looking to join a Black Sox team for the 2027 season, whether Rep A or Dedicated Select. The evaluation at RBI will include a full HitTrax report for hitting, a pitching evaluation, and basic athletic measurements. This information will be shared with the appropriate coach to aid in their evaluations. Each session has room for up to 6 players, and they are scheduled in one hour slots.
All registered players should have received the RBI sign up link. If you do not have the email, and are registered to tryout for a CS team, please email mike@rebelbaseball.ca.
You will only receive one link and will not have to repeat the evaluation for Dedicated Select tryouts.
If you have any issues with the RBI evaluations, or need to make alternate arrangements, please also contact mike@rebelbaseball.ca. Sessions will be added/moved as required.
For issues/questions with the SMBA CS tryouts, please contact vp.communications@soominorbaseball.com.
