Minor All-Star
2023 Program
Please visit Summer Ball tryout information page for dates and times for Minor All-Star and Canadian information.
Players hoping for a spot on the All-Star team must attend the 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 is 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 July, and if successful will represent District 6 in the Provincial championships in Timmins. There are no national level (Canadian) championships at the minor level. Parents whose child is offered a spot will be asked to confirm their child's availability for district and provincial dates.
The team also plays in the Summer 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 most of the 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 President Peggy Pratt or Head Coach Graeme Howey.
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.
June 1,2,3 -- Pete Loyen Tournament - Ottawa West
June 16, 17,18 -- Kingston Tournament
June 30, July 1, 2 - Brockville Tournament
Districts / Provincials
Specific start and end dates for districts depend on how many leagues enter a team. If not all 5 D6 leagues enter a team the date range may be shortened. Rain delays could extend it. The format is usually double elimination at minor. The schedule will be available in early July, if not sooner. Teams can play on any day, including two days in a row and sometimes during the day should two games be necessary in one day.
Districts: July 16-23 (local host)
Provincials: Travel date: July 29 ; July 30 - August 5 Timmins
Should the SOLL not be successful in moving on to Provincials, the team will enter the Scott Tokessy Tournament in Kanata on the August long weekend. No further tournaments are planned in August.
