Our Elite Baseball features collaborative coaching and strategic focus, ensuring a comprehensive and consistent plan for each player’s Elite career.

With roster sizes of 13-15 players, we emphasize a sustainable program that builds a strong foundational core, supporting consistent development across all age levels.

Year-Round Programming

SUMMER [May-Aug]

Training Facilities

  • In-season games and practices are held at Ajax Sportsplex, one of Ontario’s premier baseball diamonds
