Ajax Baseball is excited to announce that Paul VanWiechen, our Director of Elite Programs and current 15U Elite Head Coach, will lead a select team of players from the Eastern Ontario Baseball Association (EOBA) to compete in the 2024 Ontario Summer Games. The Games, which will take place in London from August 1-4, will host 3,500 youth athletes from across Ontario, competing in 18 different sports.

Players born in 2009 who are rostered with an EOBA or Elite Baseball League of Ontario (EBLO) team are eligible to try out for a spot. Details posted on the EOBA website.

Are you ready to wear the Spartans’ green and gold to play at the pinnacle of youth baseball in Southern Ontario?

Our prestigious Rep program invites all young athletes, regardless of gender, aged 8-18, to represent the Ajax Spartans and challenge themselves in the highest competitive youth league available.

Elevate Your Game

As a Spartan athlete, you’ll journey across Southern Ontario, showcasing your skills in 3-4 dynamic tournaments each season. Expect the thrill of competition, with at least one tournament requiring an exhilarating overnight stay.

Regular season play includes one to two games weekly, supplemented by focused weekly practices led by dedicated coaches. Our home games are held at the prestigious Ajax Sportsplex located at the north east corner of Taunton and Audley.

Off-season, our training intensifies—especially from February to April—preparing you rigorously in school gyms or state-of-the-art sports facilities.

Geographic Reach

Our teams span a wide geographic circuit, competing from Pickering in the west to Kingston in the east and north to Peterborough. As players mature, opportunities expand to face teams from as far away as Ottawa and the Toronto/York Region, enhancing exposure and competitive play.

Tryouts and Team Formation

Mark your calendars! Tryouts commence mid-September each year, with schedules available on our website. Prospective players must register with ASMBA, cover a nominal tryout fee, and be an Ajax resident or have a release from your home association. The formation of Rep teams hinges on tryout turnouts and the availability of committed volunteer coaches and managers.

Investment in Excellence

Being part of a Rep team involves higher commitment and costs, reflecting the advanced level of play and travel. Many teams engage in fundraising to help manage team costs effectively.

Join Our Coaching Staff

Think you have what it takes to guide our Rep teams? We’re in search of leaders who possess not only a coaching certificate but also a passion for baseball and youth development. Applications for Head Coaches are accepted in August, followed by a thorough interview process, including background checks to ensure a safe environment for our players.

Season and Playoffs

The season kicks off in early May, building up to playoffs in mid-August and culminating in the provincial championships over Labour Day weekend—with the exception of the 18u level, which concludes earlier.
