Bon Accord Minor Sports
This group is operating under the Bon Accord & District Community League, as a sub-committee, with a vision to restore outdoor sports in Bon Accord. We anticipate another season of growth and continuing to build on the foundation started over the past couple of years. Moving forward we will be looking to parents and members of this community for involvement, participation and insights to determine what the future of offerings will look like. The vision is to make sports accessible to our youth, to foster a love for healthy living and to build positive community relationships.
Both Soccer and Baseball information will be housed together under this website. Current seasons for both will run from May to the end of June.
COACHES ARE NEEDED, WE CANNOT RUN A SEASON WITHOUT COACHES.
Soccer,
Registration is open for four soccer levels - age groups U5, U7, U9 and U11.
U5 will be a grassroots program based solely out of Bon Accord, running Tuesday/ Thursday from 6-7pm.
U7 will be held on Tuesday/Thursday from 6-7pm however there will be 6 games held on Tuesdays, 3 of these games will be held in Bon Accord and 3 will be in Gibbons.
U9 will be held on Tuesday/Thursday from 6-7pm with 6 games, 3 away and 3 at home. Games will be in Legal, Gibbons and Red Water (will require travel to each town once).
Based on the enrollments for the last two seasons we are hopeful to field a U11 team this year also, this age group would be league play in the Tri-County Division where travel would be required.
Baseball
Registration is open for two categories - Rally Cap (t-ball) and 9U Rookie Ball.
T-Ball
T-Ball Division baseball is for players 4 - 7 years old (see registration page as it is based on birth year) who are interested in learning the basic fundamentals and wish to get an introduction to the skills of baseball within a recreational baseball program. This is accomplished by stressing and maintaining active participation by all players during the game of baseball played in accordance with the Official Rules of Baseball, by Baseball Canada. Being a developmental level of baseball, focus is towards knowledge, good sportsmanship, and fair play; all players are rotated and given opportunity to play various positions during the course of each game.
The season will begin with practice on both days of the week, and progress towards game play on the second day of the week as the season progresses.
To ensure a productive learning, playing and coaching environment, teams for T-ball will be capped at 15 players and will require 2 coaches per team. NO experience necessary to coach. Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis and as player numbers are reached and coach quotas are filled, additional teams will be opened for registration. Parents are very much encouraged to take an active role on the field at this level, especially for players aged 4-5 and players with no prior experience playing.
9U
Format will be the same as last year for 9U Rookie ball. We will be holding this division in conjunction with Gibbons Minor Ball and travel will not be required outside of Bon Accord.
This age group is for players aged 8 and 9 years old, and will be played with Gibbons Minor Ball. The plan is for one game and one practice a week.
Each team will require 1 Head Coach and 1 Assistant Coach (min) per team. Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis and as player numbers are reached and coach quotas are filled, additional teams will be opened for registration.
Note: At this level and format, we will consider players requesting to play underage in a higher division of ball pending their level of skill/experience. Overage players are not permitted. Please email bonaccordsports@gmail.com for requests.
