The Town of Pelham and historical communities of Fonthill, Fenwick, Ridgeville and North Pelham have a vibrant history of baseball that has spanned over 100 years. The Pelham Minor Baseball Association was incorporated in 2007 with the purpose of further facilitating baseball activities in our community. We are a small but tight community that are dedicated to providing our youth opportunities to enjoy all of the benefits of the wonderful game of baseball.
PMBA is a proud member of the Niagara District Baseball Association (https://ndba.ca/) and we are active in the organization of baseball activities within the Niagara region.
The PMBA is an associated member of the Ontario Baseball Association (https://www.playoba.ca/and our rep/select teams participate in baseball activities across the province as well as host tournaments that bring in teams from other centers.
The PMBA works very closely with the Town of Pelham (www.pelham.ca) and their various departments in order to successfully manage baseball facilities.
A big thanks to the Town and their employees!
