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.
