Oakville Little League to Host 2010 Provincial Championship
|
OAKVILLE, Ont., (January 7th, 2010) – Oakville Little League is pleased to announce that they will be hosting the 2010 Provincial Senior League Baseball Championships for players age 15 and 16.
“We are honoured that Little League Ontario has asked Oakville Little League to host this Provincial Championship,” said John Sweeney, President of Oakville Little League. “This tournament provides us with an opportunity to showcase the fine young athletes of Oakville and from across the Province, as well as, providing the opportunity to showcase the beautiful Town of Oakville and Oakville Little League.” Building on the success of running the 2008 Canadian Senior League Championship and the 2009 Ontario Minor A Provincial Championship, Oakville Little League is well positioned to welcome back another significant Championship to the Town of Oakville.
“I am excited about the opportunity to coach the team but also to provide our Whitecaps with an opportunity to compete in the provincials for the right to represent Ontario at the Canadian Senior League Championships this summer” said Nick Rigato, head coach of the host Oakville Whitecaps.
The Provincial Senior League Championship will be held in late July 2010. Specific dates, game times and location will be posted on our website over the next few months.
“Our objective is to make this tournament one of the best hosted tournaments in Ontario in 2010” added Sweeney, “For many of these young people, competing in a tournament of this magnitude will be the experience of a lifetime. Win or lose, we want the players to always think about the time they spent in Oakville in the summer of 2010, the fond experience and fun they had, the friendships they made, and the hospitality of Oakville.”
“This event is a significant undertaking for our League and can only be successfully with the generous support of our volunteers and the financial support of the Oakville business community” said John Mooney, Vice President of Baseball Operations for Oakville Little League. “We are currently in the planning stages and are actively looking for sponsorship to help support this event.”
If you are interested in sponsorship or volunteering to help with the organization and running of the event or would like more information about the tournament, call the Oakville Little League office at 905-827-1831 or send an email to

Oakville Little League is excited to introduce a new division structure for our 5-8 year old athletes starting in the 2010 season. Oakville Little League spent time researching and observing the most successful Little League programs in the province. We have concluded that it is important to start developing the fundamental skills of the game at a younger age. Using this approach, players will realize a significant benefit by developing these fundamental skills as they progress towards the older divisions.
Players 5 years old as of May 1, 2010 will be in an instructional T-Ball division to introduce young players to the sport of baseball. The emphasis will be on the fundamentals (catch, throw, hit, and run) while having fun with a planned program of activities that change frequently to keep the children active and involved.
Players 6 - 8 years old as of May1, 2010 will be grouped by age and skill level and assigned to T-Ball teams after a 3-4 week evaluation period. Players will continue to work on the development of all fundamental baseball skills while learning and playing by the rules of the game at a younger age.
** NOTE: In 2010, players that are Little League Age 8-year olds will have the option of registering for a high level of T-Ball or for Rookie Ball. The Coach Pitch division has been discontinued.
Why T-Ball?
-
T-Ball has 110 balls in play every five-inning game
-
Children at all levels of ability will have more opportunity to field the ball
-
Every batter will swing until they hit the ball
-
This means lots of HITTING, lots of FIELDING, and lots of FUN!!
T-BALL IS THE STARTING POINT FOR BASEBALL
By hitting the ball from a tee the players have the opportunity to develop hand-eye coordination and swing technique without the fear of being hit by a pitched ball.
With a ball being in play with every batter, players in both the infield and the outfield are given more opportunities to develop fundamental fielding skills while placing an emphasis on total team participation and involvement.
WITH A FOCUS ON
- SKILL DEVELOPMENT baseball fundamentals and a better understanding of the rules at a younger age
- COACHING DEVELOPMENT through a new coaching program that involves mentoring, clinics, ongoing support and a group practice structure
- GROUP PRACTICE STRUCTURE to ensure all players work through the same curriculum of baseball fundamentals and rules while minimizing the effect of players being absent
