Applications are considered on a case-by-case basis and subject to approval. Approval maybe denied, even for groups who may have been accepted in the past.

Injury Reporting
Please remember that all accidents must be reported to the office within 30 days. Our policy requires that we notify the Insurance Company by this deadline, or risk coverage being denied. In some cases, expenses are not incurred right away (IE: physiotherapy), and so to avoid a possible rejection of claim based on timing, please ensure OBA is made aware of all injuries, whether or not it is obvious that treatment will be required.
Please have the appropriate person complete and submit the Injury Report Form immediately to OBA and then provide the injured party with the Insurance Claim Form in case expenses are incurred that are not covered by their personal insurance.
TRAVELING OUTSIDE OF CANADA - approval
For teams wishing to travel outside the province, travel approval is required from your local association and your affiliated association. Please contact your local association and or Affiliate for the next steps. OBA approval is no longer required
TRAVELING OUTSIDE OF CANADA - compliancE with rules
Teams are subject to OBA rules, policies and procedures when traveling outside the province in the same way that they are within the province, including Arm Care. This includes games played outside Ontario and outside Canada, regardless of the tournament’s pitch count rules or lack thereof.
Traveling Outside of Canada - insurance coverage
Teams are not covered under the accident policy. ONLY LIABILITY coverage extends beyond Canada.
Whether it be for tournaments or inter-league play, the team is obligated to ensure that all participants have Out of Country Accident Coverage.
