Players hoping for a spot on the All-Star team must attend the tryout. (Canadian level hopefuls attend the same tryout).
If your child is unavoidably unable to attend, please provide a detailed explanation in writing to the VP Competitive Ken Gorman ASAP and not less than 1 week before the tryout. If your child is injured a doctor's note may be required. Your child's best opportunity to earn a spot is to be at the tryout.
The All-Star team competes in D6 Districts in early to mid July, and if successful will represent District 6 in the Provincial championships in Ottawa (Ottawa West host) late July / early August. There is no Canadian (National) level competition in Minor.
In advance of trying out, parents will be asked to confirm their child's availability for District and Provincial dates.
The team also plays in the Summer City interlock league in July & August.
​Accepting a spot on the All-Star team means you'll be playing lots of baseball, especially in the lead up to districts. Nevertheless the league understands that despite the significant commitment involved, it must also be reasonable. To be on a diamond nearly every day for whole summer would be unreasonable and not positive for any young player.
The following information is provided to give parents key dates and a sense of the commitment level. Families with unavoidable conflicts, or with specific questions can contact VP Competitive Ken Gorman or Head Coach Jason Boushey.
After the team is formed in late May / early June, tournaments and practices will be held to start preparation for district competition. The team has been entered in the tournaments listed below. In addition there will be 1-2 practices per week: 1 where there is also a tournament happening, and up to 2 in weeks where there is no tournament play. Once spring ball finishes at the end of June, the all-star team will start playing in the summer interlock league after Canada Day. (2 games per week). Interlock games are suspended when the team is in districts, and during the lead up to provincials. After the Brockville tourney in the lead up to districts, 2 practices per week should be expected.
