• Rally Cap 4/5, 6 and 7 practice on Sunday mornings, typically at Benny Park. Rally Cap 7 will also have weeknight practice games against themselves starting around week 4, as part of the player development program.

​

Lac St. Louis League (Boys, Ages 8-18)

• All players except the Bobcats 9U-and-older will play in the Lac St. Louis league. This involves playing not only in CDN-NDG, but also in the LSL region. A-team play all over the region, while B-teams will play occasional games in the West Island, but typically play close to home in areas like Verdun, Lachine, and St-Laurent. 

• There is no house league option that plays only in NDG.

 

Bobcats Girls Baseball (Ages 8-18)

• NDG Baseball is proud to continue to offer the region's premier girls baseball program, the NDG Bobcats, to our membership. While girls are not obligated to play in the all-female program, it is strongly encouraged. Girls are welcome in the co-ed stream, but the Bobcats program allows girls to thrive in an all-female environment in a way that is proven to bring added value to their experience. 

• If you would like your daughter to play in the Bobcats program, please make sure to choose the GIRLS option when registering in Spordle. 

• This program is offered at the 9U, 11U, 13U, and 15U levels (possibly 17U for 2025 -TBD). 

 

Team Creation

• We aim to make well balanced teams, as such, all registered players in 9U and up MUST attend Spring Evaluations (schedule to be posted on the website and emailed out). 

• “A” teams will be created based on performance and talent shown during tryouts. Balanced “B” teams will be created from the remaining players.

• No requests to play with friends/family members will be accepted. 

 

Eligibility/Absenteeism

• Participation is the key to a player’s successful baseball season, however summer is also for vacations and sleep-away camp. If you know that you or your child will be absent during the summer for 2 weeks or more, please indicate it on the registration form and advise your coach as soon as possible at the beginning of the season, so they may make other arrangements for call-up players. NOTE that due to the more competitive and serious nature of the level, any player who is away for more than 2 weeks during the season is NOT eligible to play on an “A” team. In order for any player at any level to qualify for post-season play, they must play in a minimum of 50% of their own team's regular season games.

 

Participation Requirements for Regionals Playoffs

• Per Baseball Quebec rules, in order to participate in Lac St. Louis Regional Playoffs and any subsequent Baseball Quebec Regional or Super Regional playoffs, a player must play in at least 50% of their own team's regular season games. The only exception to this rule is in the case of injury, and only when that injury is reported proactively to NDG Baseball administration.

• Any player who does not qualify for Regionals due to the above rule regarding participation will automatically go on the waiting list for the following season. This means that, for example, in a division that is capped at 54 players, any player who did not qualify for the preceding year's playoffs due to lack of playing in 50% of games will automatically be wait-listed regardless of when they registered. Should that player's division fill up prior to the close of registration, they will be wait-listed. Please note that players who cannot make it to at least 50% of their team's games or those who are on vacation or at sleep away camp during Regionals cause a major disruption and this should be avoided out of respect for the other players and volunteers. If you know at the time of registration that your player will be away during Regionals, please re-consider registering so that NDGBA can assign that limited registration spot to a player who will be present.

 

Lynx (A) 

• Anyone wishing to tryout for the Lynx A Team is welcome. A tryout fee must be paid to be eligible to attend, added during the registration process. If your child makes the team there will be an additional A Team fee of $100-150 to cover the additional expenses related to running the Lynx program. This applies to cost for more games, umpires, score keepers, etc. A uniform deposit will also be required at a later date and extra costs for pants, team apparel and tournaments may apply. 

 

Rates & Refunds

• Division rates will be available via the registration link when it is available.

• Discounts for siblings are applied automatically but only if all kids are registered at the same time. 

• All e-transfer payments are your responsibility to pay in full at the time of registration. Any e-transfers not made at the time of registration will be subject to a $10 administrative fee. If you have an outstanding balance and a waiting list forms, your child will lose their spot to someone else who has paid in full and a refund will be issued to you.

• Full refunds are available upon request on the registration fees only, administration, late and try-out fees are non-refundable.

  • AS AGREED TO BY ALL MEMBERS AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION THERE ARE NO REFUNDS AFTER MAR. 15, 2025 UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE (Except long-term injury)

• The no-refund policy post Mar. 15, 2025 includes players who try out for the Lynx but do not make the team and are assigned to a B-level Bobcats or Wildcats team.

 

Transfers-Issues Registering

• If you are having an issue registering because you are outside of our area's postal codes OR if you are within our postal codes but your child was previously registered with another association, you will require a release. For the time being, Baseball Quebec will only begin handling release/transfer requests as of Mar. 15. It is important to email us at registrar@ndgbaseball.com with your child's name, DOB, division, full address, previous association name (if applicable) and your situation. We are keeping a list and will do our best to help you navigate this new step together.
