Player Requests

By submitting a request for two players to be on the same House League team, you are agreeing to the policy below. Please read it before submiting your player request form. Please remember the deadline to submit requests is March 31st, and requests made outside the policy will not be considered.

Player Request Policy:

Our philosophy is that baseball should be about meeting new friends! ​Please do not expect that your player will be on the same team as a large group of friends from school, another sport, or your neighbourhood.

Aside from the obvious concern about stacking teams, allowing large groups to play together can also make other players on the team feel very excluded. Because of this and the unmanageable number of requests that are made, Barrie Minor Baseball has established the following policy for special requests involving players.

Siblings who live in the same household and wish to play on the same team are the only special requests that will be guaranteed (as long as their birth years place them in the same division). If you are submitting a request for siblings that live in the same household, you only need to submit one form. Please note the relationship in the comments.

In all other situations, Barrie Minor Baseball will consider player special requests as follows:

  • A player can request ONE other player they wish to play on the same team with. The other player must, in turn, make the same request. Barrie Minor Baseball will only consider requests where both players have requested each other.

  • Requests to play with multiple players will not be considered. If more than one name is provided, neither will be considered.

  • ​"Daisy chain" requests will not be considered. All requests have to be mutual.

  • To ensure fair play, team balancing will take priority over special requests.

  • ​Special requests regarding coaches will not be considered except in very serious circumstances.

  • Barrie Minor Baseball will not consider any requests received after March 31st.

  • Barrie Minor Baseball will not consider any requests that involve moving a player from a different household. You may only submit requests concerning your own child/player.

  • If more than one request is submitted for the same player (e.g., multiple parents/guardians submit a request, unaware of the other) only the newest request will be considered.

Special requests are only available to help families with extenuating circumstances when it is necessary to be on the same team as another player. Please do not make requests that are outside the policy, and do not be upset if you do and they are not honoured. Our volunteers can only manage the volume of requests that are received if they are made within the policy.

Thank you for your understanding!

If you are making a request so that two people can coach together, please ensure that you each submit the request for your two players to be together, and also inform the league of your intent to volunteer so that head coaches and assistant coaches can be fairly distributed among the teams.

Request Form is now closed, deadline has passed. 

​Please note that it may be more difficult to accommodate special requests in divisions that have player evaluations and drafts.
