OHBC is continuously looking at ways to make the experience the best it can be for all players, families and coaches.  Roster sizes are an important factor that will be considered to make the experience the best it can be.  Please note that depending on registration numbers, there may be players that are not placed on a travel OHBC team.  If this situation presents itself, OHBC will work with families on refunds and playing options.
 
 
Age Rules (mandated by MBL):
  • The player age cutoff date is May 1st. Players in their respective age groups must not reach the next age prior to May 1st. For example, a player who turns 13 on April 30 is eligible to play at the 13U level, but not the 12U level. A player who turns 13 on May 1st is eligible to play at the 12U level.
  • A player’s grade level is not applicable in determining age group eligibility.  There are situations when a player has to play above their grade level due to their birthdate.
  • U10: All 4th graders that meet age qualifications (Born on or after May 1, 2014).
  • U11: All 5th graders that meet age qualifications (Born on or after May 1, 2013).
