We recently hosted a successful umpire clinic, but we're always looking for umpires for our house league and travel programs.

If you love baseball, umpiring is a great way to stay involved, learn the game and earn extra cash!

Families needing financial assistance for minor sports, including baseball, have local funding options. While the Children’s Foundation of Muskoka previously provided support, they now direct applicants to Jumpstart as the primary funding source.

If an application is unsuccessful or requires additional support, families can still reach out to the Children’s Foundation of Muskoka for top-up funding.

We are excited to share that the Huntsville Men’s Slow Pitch League has generously created a new annual $1,000 scholarship for members of the Muskoka Hornets who are currently enrolled in, or graduating to, post‑secondary education. Applicants must be registered Hornets players in good standing.

A committee of Muskoka Hornets Board members will review all applications. While preference may be given to alumni playing baseball at the post‑secondary level, it is not a requirement—we know many deserving Hornets have represented our organization with pride, class, and commitment, regardless of whether they continued playing.

Applications for this year are due August 4, 2025, with the scholarship awarded later in August. To learn more or request an application form, please contact Shelley Hunt at shelleyhunt73@gmail.com.

A heartfelt thank‑you to Scott Burger and the Huntsville Men’s Slow Pitch League for their generous support of our players and our program.
