Oakville Little League's Cornwall Park Lighting becomes a reality!!

November 07, 2011 - Oakville Little League has completed the next phase of a multi-phase vision to make Cornwall Park a place that everyone thinks of when they want to go and watch a ballgame. The league in partnership with the Town of Oakville has installed lights on both diamonds at Cornwall Park. While the original-schedule was set to have lights by mid-summer 2011, the early spring rain and a backlog of light fixtures delayed the project. The final touches were put on the lights in September and they have now been energized and are ready for the 2012 season. This phase of the long term vision of these diamonds was also made possible due to our corporate sponsorship with Ford Motor Company of Canada.

These lights open up a whole new opportunity for the players in the league with the ability to play double headers throughout the season under the lights, it allows for games to be extended due to rain delays and it also allows the league to plan for fall ball which has been part of the broader vision of the league to provide more baseball for those players who are interested playing into September.

Stay tuned to our web site for additional information and details on the official ceremony we will hold to turn the lights on for the very first Cornwall Park game played under the lights.

Oakville Little League Expands to include a Big League Division

Oakville Little League has announced that it has expanded the House League program for the 2012 season to include a Big League. OLLB will be introducing this division to player’s age 17 – 20 years of age based on Little League age. 

“After receiving several requests from players and parents that expressed an interest to continue in a house league program beyond the age of 18 we decided to add the Big League division”, said John Sweeney, President. “We want to provide the youth of Oakville with the opportunity to continue playing baseball in both a fun and competitive environment for a few more years. OLLB expects to have four Big League teams at the house league level along with continuing on with our Big League All-Star team which is a compliment to our house league program.

The program for the Big League division will be slightly different from all other house league divisions. The new division will feature minor rule modifications, minimal practice times, one night a week for all games and a slightly shorter season. A shorter season will allow the players a chance to return from university or college in the spring and to prepare to go back in the late summer. All games will be played in Oakville and there will not be any travel required for the Big League house league division.

Based on the success of the Big League All-Star team in 2011, OLLB is proud to announce that they will also be hosting the 2012 Big League Provincial Championships in mid July. The All-Star team will be coached by Nick Rigato.

Over the past 10 years, Nick has coached in Little League at both the All-Star and house league levels.  He is also currently the Convener for the Junior and Senior division and will assume responsibilities for the Big League division as convener.
