Dear MJBO Family,
McMinnville Grizzly Junior Baseball (MJBO) is dedicated to the youth of our community, emphasizing the fundamentals of this country’s favorite pastime, through superior instruction, fair play, and team camaraderie, as well as higher levels of competition. MJBO provides opportunities for 3rd through 8th graders to play on a competitive baseball team. The goal of MJBO is to teach kids to be team players, be good sportsman, play hard and most of all have fun while experiencing the game of baseball in a competitive and positive environment.
David Cunningham
President MJBO
The operations and activities of the MJBO are overseen and administered by an elected Board of Directors. The MJBO Board of Directors is comprised of volunteers who dedicate a tremendous amount of time, energy, and resources to make MJBO a better organization!
Registration fees are paid by each player to JBO to cover the cost to run the program each year. MJBO welcomes all teams to create and plan out fundraisers to support team activities. Team fundraising is separate from annual MJBO events and fundraising. Each year players participate in a JBO fundraiser supporting youth baseball in McMinnville.
MJBO is an association of the Westside Youth Baseball Association and Junior Baseball Organization (JBO) of Oregon. All baseball play follows the National Federation of State High School (NFHS) rules. JBO is an Oregon non-profit corporation that exists to provide young boys and girls an opportunity to participate in an organized baseball experience.
JBO is aligned with Oregon High Schools and provides a local and varied pool of competition with whom we compete and learn. The game is BASEBALL, pure and simple, built on the rules of Oregon High School Baseball and modified to age-appropriate programs. Junior Baseball allows the player to learn the way to play REAL BASEBALL at an early age and continue to develop their skills as they get older.
JBO is made up of 3 districts encompassing more than 80 local associations.
