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'
