 About Us

The Canadian National Oldtimers' Baseball Federation is heading into its latest season of conducting a national tournament for baseball (hardball) players 33 years of age and over who are no longer interested in competitive senior baseball, but are seeking a way to continue playing a game they love. Players from across Canada come together on the first weekend in August for a four-day tournament.

We invite you to browse through our website. Find out about the history of the Federation, what happened at recent tournaments and most importantly what is coming up in our next tournament. Check out some photos. Read excerpts from newsletters, the rules and how to apply to host the tournament.

If you are interested in coming on board, we would be happy to chat with you and help you join our program.

SPONSORSHIP SEARCH

The Canadian National Oldtimers’ Baseball Federation is looking for sponsorship for the annual tournament. Our participants are all 33+ years of age and therefore a sponsor with products or services of value to that age group would be most likely to reap the benefits.

In return for sponsorship we can assign the sponsor’s name to the tournament, to the divisions, and to the souvenir program cover. In addition a banner at the ball park(s) where the tournament is being played can be displayed. All media coverage would utilize the sponsor’s name with reference to the tournament’s name.

Anyone interested in discussing tournament sponsorship ideas should contact:
