When is the first game of the season and how will I be notified?
Each child will be contacted by a coach in May.

What are the days of the week and the times of the games?

Junior division (T-Ball and Rookie) games run approximately 1 - 1 ½ hours.

Senior division (Mites and Pee Wee) games run approximately 1 ½ - 2 hours.

Schedules are established at the close of registration. Games are played outdoors so the schedule is entirely weather dependent.

All games are played at Etobicoke Valley Park. Located at 72a Westhead Drive. There are 4 diamonds in the park.

What about snacks for the kids?

At the beginning of the season each team will make a snack list and parents will rotate between bringing snacks for all players. In a typical season a parent might be responsible for bringing snacks 2-3 times in total.

My child has never played softball before. Is this program suitable for a child with no prior experience?

Yes! Our program is designed to suit children at all levels of experience and skill. A fair number of players are children with limited or no softball/baseball experience.

What kind of equipment do you provide? What equipment do I need to provide for my child?
We provide each registered player with a team jersey, shorts/pants and a baseball cap.   We also provide back catcher equipment, permitting each child to try their hand at catching (if they so wish). Teams will have bats to be shared with all players. *If a player wishes to bring their own bat, they must agree to share its usage with the rest of the team. 

MANDATORY EQUIPMENT    for players:

Baseball helmet with full earflaps and chin strap
Protective gear (Jock or Jill)
Baseball glove
Athletic shoes (Cleats are permitted but metal cleats are banned)
