Notes:
Baseball Saskatoon has made the difficult decision to no longer accept players from outside our city limits due to increasing registration numbers. There is simply a lack of diamonds, particularly at the 11U level.
All zones in Saskatoon, with the exception of the Royals all-female zone, will no longer accept registrations for players born in 2013 or later who reside outside of the Saskatoon city limits for Jr., Sr. and Advanced Rally Cap, 11U, as well as city wide 15U AAA and 18U AAA.
This season, players residing outside the city in 13U, 15U and 18U and born 2012 or before will be “grandfathered” and can continue to play for Baseball Saskatoon zones and will still require a zone transfer from Baseball Sask.
Baseball Saskatoon made a proposal to Baseball Sask for a new boundary that would have acreages and communities on the outskirts of the city included in Zone 6, consistent with the Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association, but was unsuccessful.
Teams formed in Zone 5 will be accepted to play in leagues in the city provided there are adequate facilities for hosting home games.
Thank you for your understanding of this challenging decision.
- Jr. Rally Cap – Players born in 2017 who have played a year in Jr. Rally can choose to register in either Jr. or Sr. Rally Cap.
- Sr. Rally Cap – If you wish your Sr. Rally age child to try out for 11U, please register in 11U. Your child must be born in 2015 in order to make 11U as a player. If your child doesn’t end up playing in 11U and goes back to Sr. Rally you would be refunded either $135 ($275 + $40 Evaluation fee, $315-$450) if they play Sr. Rally or $85 ($325 + $40 Evaluation fee, $365-$450) if they played Advanced Sr Rally.
- Adv. Sr. Rally Cap – Only open to players born in 2015. Runs May 1st-June 30th on Sr Rally Cap diamonds. This year they will play 11U ‘A’ rules all season. Players who try out for 11U but do not make it are still eligible to play Sr Rally Cap or Adv Sr Rally Cap. Again, please register in 11U if you want to try out for that league, there is a $40 non-refundable try-out fee. To sign up for this program, select Sr Rally Cap, and choose the appropriate program.
- 11U: There are some significant changes for players and families when entering this age group. Players born in 2013 or 2014 are eligible to play 11U in 2024.
- If you are not a resident of Zone 6 and register with the Cardinals you must apply for a zone transfer. Please be aware that your zone transfer may be declined. If your transfer is declined we will refund your registration fee, minus $40 fee for evaluations. For more information on zone transfers please contact Mike Ramage at [email protected]

- 15U AAA – 15U AAA continues as a province-wide format for 2024. There is no longer 15U AAA at the zone level. Players trying out must register with both the SBAAABL and their respective zone. The tryout fee must be paid at that time with SBAAABL only, and following tryouts players will pay their regular season fees to either the SBAAABL or their zone. Register Here. Don’t forget – you still need to register with the Cardinals.

13U – Friday March 15th 8:00pm – 11:00pm

All evaluations will take place at the Gordie Howe Sports Complex, 1525 Avenue P.S. Saskatoon, SK.
All players from 11U through 18U will be evaluated in order to be placed on teams with players of similar abilities. Please remember that “AAA” baseball requires a major commitment from players and parents. This commitment begins with extra practices on a regular basis and includes additional tournaments throughout the season. The “AAA” season ends well into July or possibly August with Provincial Championships and League Championships. Please talk to the appropriate coordinator prior to evaluations if you have any questions regarding these commitments. You will be contacted by a coordinator regarding the time and location for evaluations.
