This program runs from May 1 through June 30, with preliminary player sort outs booked for the week of April 18-21, and is open to anyone who resides within our League boundaries, which include the areas of Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond and Munster Hamlet.

Registration fees for this program vary according to age and can be found below. Note the following changes from 2011:

1. This season there will not be a league wide bottle drive. The $50 mandatory fundraising deposit has been eliminated for all. Fees have been adjusted to reflect. That change, as well as to support ongoing rising costs of infrastructure (uniform replacement, equipment replenishment, etc.)
2. The fees below are for early registration. The early registration discount is removed after March 31, 2012.

Interested in Volunteering?

Based on feedback received throughout last season, in our rookie division (7-8 year olds), we will be expanding and improving on our 2011 pilot program that extends the season to include July for all registered rookie players. The primary focus will be on core skill development of each player, as well as fostering both a knowledge and love of the game. There are several pros and cons to this approach that we have already identified, but we feel that this move is in the best interest of the player. It will keep more kids in baseball through the summer, it will provide a controlled environment and provide us the time we need to build skills incrementally, and it will allow families the ability to plan their August. Thank you to all who provided feedback on the 2011 season. Based on your feedback, one of the changes we will be implementing, pending player interest and volunteer availability, is the inclusion of a rookie summer tournament team. In parallel to the extended program, We will be looking to field at least 1 rookie summer team, that will participate in tournaments through July and August. Once again, We will continue to learn from this program, identify those things that worked, and those that did not, again take your feedback and continue to build based on the best interest of the player. More details will follow and will be available both on line as well as at registration.
