Program Overview
Are you ready to wear the Spartans' green and white to play at the pinnacle of select youth baseball in Southern Ontario? Our Select program invites young athletes, regardless of gender, across multiple divisions, to represent the Ajax Spartans and challenge themselves in competitive youth league play.
Elevate Your Game
As a Spartan athlete, you'll journey across Southern Ontario, showcasing your skills in 2-3 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 a few diamonds across Ajax such as Miller Park, Cedar Park and Ajax Sportsplex.
Off-season, our training intensifies—especially from January to April—preparing you rigorously in school gyms and other indoor 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 run from late September into early October each year, with schedules available on our website. Prospective players must register with ASMBA, cover a nominal tryout fee, and each team must comprise a minimum of 50% Ajax residents. The formation of Select teams hinges on tryout turnouts and the availability of committed volunteer coaches and managers.
Investment in Excellence
Being part of a Select 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.
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.
