Registered players are asked to visit Hometown Sports Excellence to try on jerseys and pants for sizing.
Once sizing is confirmed, families should email their player’s jersey and pant sizes to registrar@owensoundminorbaseball.com no later than March 22. Uniform orders will be placed shortly after this date to ensure players are ready for the upcoming season.
