General Information (London Mens Baseball League (over 30 league))

PrintGeneral Information

Registration Opens annually in early November

Age Restriction - Players must be 30 (or older) by Dec 31 of the current season year in order to be eligible to play in the league.

We accept all players who meet the age restriction - not just 'men'.  We are an inclusive league and invite anyone to join - male, female, non-binary - anybody who wants to play baseball! (regardless of the pronouns they choose to use).

New players are accepted in order of registration, and encouraged to register EARLY.  Historically we have only been able to accept 8-12 new players each season - and are typically full by Feb 15th.  New players who register but can not be accepted due to the league being full will be refunded entirely for their registration fees paid, and placed on the spare list.  Successful new applicants will be assigned to existing teams (using a draft process) to teams with less than 15 players. This occurs in late April. 

We DO NOT accept team entries into our league.

Spare List

Once the league is full, the spare list application form will open.  Players are encouraged to apply for the spare list to be added to our data base, and will be emailed when registration opens for the following season. Spares are called as replacement players for games when a team can't field enough regular (paid) players (due to vacations, injuries, work commitments, hangovers, etc).  There is no cost to be a spare - but there are rules.  Spares can not pitch in our league, and they can only spare for the same team for a maximum of 3 games per season.  You are, however, permitted to spare for more than one team.


Returning Players

Returning players have until February 15th to register in order to guarantee their spot in the league . Returning players will be assigned to their previous team unless they request otherwise.

Registration Payment

Electronic payment through Paypal/credit card is available.

Payment by Interac etransfer is encouraged, and allows for a discount over paying by cash/cheque or credit card.  See the registration form for details.  Etransfers should be sent to [email protected] - with the answer to your 'secret question' being baseball.

If you'd like to pay by cheque or money order, please contact the Registrar for details.

BE REMINDED THAT YOUR REGISTRATION IS NOT CONSIDERED COMPLETE UNTIL FULL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED


Replacement Players

Note - The LMBL does not issue refunds to players after the season begins (due to injury, relocation, etc). If replacement players are required, please contact the registrar at [email protected] to discuss the process.  TEAMS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SELECT THEIR OWN REPLACEMENT PLAYERS ONCE THE SEASON BEGINS.

REGISTRATION ENDS WHEN WE HAVE 210 PLAYERS REGISTERED AND PAID
