Goderich Minor Baseball

A big thank‑you to everyone who made the past two weekends shine — even when the rain tried to steal the show!

Parents, players, volunteers, umpires, coaches, and our executive team — your dedication turned those rainy moments into lasting memories.

Our U15 and U13 WOBA year‑end tournaments were a hit, with great feedback from everyone who attended. Proud of our community for making it happen, rain or shine!

A big shout out to Goderich Recreation staff for keeping our Bannister Park and John O’Keefe field in pristine condition!

Tournament Champions 🍾

The U13 Lemon Girls Fastball Team proudly claimed the tournament championship, demonstrating exceptional skill, teamwork, and composure throughout the event. These athletes represented their hometown with professionalism and determination, earning a well‑deserved victory.

• Increase water and rest breaks

• Monitor players closely, especially those with asthma or other respiratory conditions

High Risk (AQHI 7–10)

Outdoor baseball and fastball activities—including practices, games, and tournaments—will be cancelled or rescheduled.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

We are excited to announce that Goderich Minor Baseball will be participating in this year’s Canada Day Parade on Wednesday, July 1st! We are looking forward to representing our baseball community and celebrating Canada Day together. 🇨🇦

The parade will begin at 2:00 PM, and our GMBA float will be arriving and getting organized at 1:00 PM. All players participating in the parade must arrive no later than 1:45 PM so we have time to get everyone organized before the parade begins.

Our parade position is #34, located along Wellington / Elgin Avenue. Please refer to the attached parade route map for additional details on our location.

A few important details:

Younger players will have the opportunity to ride on the float during the parade.
Older players/athletes will walk alongside the float, help represent GMBA, and hand out treats to spectators along the parade route.
Please have kids arrive wearing their GMBA gear (hat//jersey) so we can show off our baseball community! Baseball pants are NOT required. Shorts are perfectly acceptable.
With the parade taking place in the afternoon, please be mindful of the heat and sun exposure. We ask that parents ensure their children come prepared with:

A water bottle (please ensure your child has enough water for the duration of the parade)
Sunscreen applied before arrival
A hat and appropriate clothing for the weather
At the end of the parade, parent pick-up will take place at the large parking lot at Bannister Park (180 McDonald St, Goderich) . Please plan to meet your child there once the parade has finished.

We are looking forward to a great afternoon and hope to see lots of our players and families out supporting GMBA as we celebrate Canada Day!

Thank you for being part of our baseball community.

Go Seahawks!
