We release a full list of general and specific volunteer roles ahead of the spring season, but at the moment we're looking to fill the following key role. Doug Anderson (DA) and Dean Murray have been working tirelessly through the off season to get us all ready for some amazing baseball this spring!

In 2015, Little League Canada decided to make it easier for children to play with their classmates, to that end they chose to base age-groups on the school calendar year rather than a straight birth year. For the Majors Divisions players are assigned to teams based on their skills assessments, with the goal of having evenly balanced teams within each sub division.

Players will be baseball age 7 to 9 years old. It is for the 7-year-old that is ready to move up from Mini-minors and the 9-year-old that is new to the game. Minors is a semi-competitive development program, building on the fundamental baseball skills. Training begins to focus on the details of positional play and defensive strategies.

Players will be baseball age 6 - 7 years old. Mini Minors is a transitional program between TBall and Minors. Children continue learning the fundamentals of baseball. Mini Minors is primarily coach pitch; however, machine pitch is introduced towards the end of the season. The primary focus is on fun, being part of a team, physical activity, and building confidence.

Blastball provides an introduction to baseball and team sports. Baseball skills are introduced, kids will learn how to throw, catch, hit off a tee, and run. The primary focus is on fun, being part of a team, physical activity, and building confidence. Equipment/Uniform: The club provides all Blastball players with a baseball cap, a team t-shirt and bats.
