BOMBA's Baseball Program
 


Registration Site Opening

Saturday February 06, 2010


Welcome to the Byron Optimist Minor Baseball Association (BOMBA) website.  This site provides registration information, tournament information, dates of meetings, team information, news and more. If there is something that you would like to see on our site, please let us know.

We are a community based organization, run by volunteers, that provides opportunities for children and youth in the London community to play baseball or fastball at both house league and competitive levels.  We offer programs in all divisions, from Mite to Intermediate in fastball, and Mosquito to Senior in baseball, as well as Learn to Play blastball, teeball and rookieball programs. 

Our House League programs run from mid-May to mid-August and typically includes two games and one practice per week plus one or two weekend tournaments throughout the season. Most of our House League teams play in the Community Softball League (CSL) or the London Boys House League. As an added bonus, Byron teams play for free in Byron House League tournaments.

Our Competitive programs run from early May to late-August and typically includes two games and one practice per week. Many of our Competitive teams also compete in weekend tournaments throughout the summer. Our Competitive teams are affiliated with  the Tri-County Girls Fastball League (TGFL), the Grand Valley Ladies Softball Association or the London District Baseball Association (LDBA). As an added bonus, Byron teams play for free in Byron Competitive tournaments.
