Champlain teams are coordinated through Baseball Manitoba’s RAMP program
Players must register with RAMP, see link below
Champlain Community Centre is part of the Bonivital Baseball Association. Together, we provide each player the opportunity to play baseball in a supportive and rewarding environment that emphasizes fun and skill development at a level that fits the player’s interest and ability. In order to play baseball all players will require their own batting helmet and glove. Having their own bat is not required, but many prefer them for 11U and older, along with non-metal baseball cleats, baseball pants, and batting gloves.
The baseball season starts early May, Rally Cap and 9U finish the last week of June. 11U and older have weekend play-offs in early July followed by Provincials, please check the league end dates and playoff dates here: Bonivital Minor Baseball Association – Winnipeg, Manitoba
Tryouts for AAA and AA teams will occur April 6-10, 2026 at the University of Winnipeg. Teams will be formed immediately following the tryouts followed by the Community Club A teams. If your player is planning to tryout for AA or AAA, they must register for the season and for tryouts by March 6, 2026. Please see below for age groups, registration fee and nights of play, and for more information and to register for the try out for your age group, click here: https://Bonivitalbaseball.ca/program-information/tryout-information/

Formation of “A” Teams
Team formation is based on the number of players in each age group from each community centre catchment. When there are not enough players from a community centre, or there is not a diamond at the community center for the age group to play on, those players will be moved together onto a team at a neighboring community centre.
We allow for players to make two friend requests when registering for baseball. We make all efforts to honor at least one of the friend requests when both players are from the same community centre. When the request involves players from different community clubs we cannot guarantee them.

Coaches and Parent Volunteers
Coaches are the cornerstone of the sport experience for young players and thus essential for the success of youth sport programs in our community. If you are interested in volunteering as a coach in 2026, please contact our baseball convenor. Ideally, we like to have three coaches willing to volunteer from each team. It makes the practices and games much more active and “many hands definitely make light work”. Training, support and mentorship is offered to coaches to help you and your team have a successful season.
