Opening Day - Program Start Update - 2016

Information on the Start of Programs

Updated Friday May 13, 2016 by Kanata Little League.

2 May 2016 - 

Following is an update on the status and starting dates for most League programs. We do not get access fo fields from the city until May 1, 2016. Teams may not use the fields until the contracts start. There is NO formal 'Opening Day' planned for this year,

If you have any issues with the team you have been placed on, or the schedule, please contact either your team coach or the division convenor. Convenor contact information can be found under 'contacts' on this website. Please realize that we have placed over 720 players on teams that are all starting play at once....there are bound to be some 'issues' present, please be patient and accommodating while we work them out. It is NOT possible to fulfill ALL friend requests or coach requests.

Our registration has surpassed 725 players for the Spring season. We have not seen numbers like this since the early 1990's (coincidence? think Blue Jays and Expos successful years.....thanks to the Blue Jays). We are very tight on fields this year, and will be fielding an astounding 31 teams in our age 7-10 Rookie, Minor and OBA Mosquito age groups. 

Convenors at all divisions are actively forming the teams based on the sort outs/try outs and team formation criteria. Teams will NOT be formed until after the final 'Sort Out' for the age division, and until coaches are identified for all teams. Team assignments should be communicated to parents by midweek of the last week of April. Some divisions still require coaches, it would help immensely if additional parents could volunteer for these roles. 

If you have any questions, please contact the division convenor for your age group. Contact information can be found on this website under 'contacts'

BLAST BALL/T BALL/RALLY CAP - 18    6 player teams have been formed which will play either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday at Frank Macdonald. 

LIttle League Rookie/Minor/Major - Practices and Games will commence the first week of May. Teams will be formed somtime after the final 'sort outs' take place. Your coach will contact you by the end of the last week of April. .12 Rookie Teams, 16 Minor teams, and 8 Major teams have been formed and each have their own webpage on our website accessible by going to Divisions/Teams section of the website. 

LIttle League Junior/Senior - Practices and Games will commence the first week of May. Teams will play an 'interlocking' schedule with teams from East Nepean, Ottawa West, and Perth.  Your coach will contact you by the end of April. Games will NOT be on set nights, they will vary week by week. Initial schedule informatio will likely only be for the first 1-2 weeks of the season, with the rest of the season determined/published by middle of the 2nd week. 5 Junior and 3 Senior teams have been formed, and each team has its own website on our system. 

UPDATE: For Sunday May 1: LL Junior teams will have a first meeting and Clinic from 12-3 on Upper Kinsman; Major Bantam 3pm-5pm on Uper Kinsman; LL Senior Select teams have exhibition game against Ottawa West 12pm-4pm on Lower Kinsman; Senior 2 month players not involved in the Select games should attend the Clinic on Upper Kinsman 12-3pm. GAMES will commence on Monday May 2 schedule is ALMOST ready for the first week. 

OBA Teams - Teams are being formed now, offers are going out to players at varying rates across the teams. Team Schedules will evolve over the next little while as this is our first year of participation in the leagues we will participate in. Most leagues will start play the 2nd or 3rd week of May. We have 3 Mosquito, 2 Peewee, and 2 Bantam Rep or Select teams this year as well as 2 Senior/Midget Select teams.
