The Team

In 2012 North Toronto will field a AAA Regional Team for players looking to play at the highest level of competitive baseball. This team finished last season placing number 2 in Ontario, receiving a silver medal at the Provincial Championships and is looking to build on this success.

The philosophy of coaching on this team has a strong focus on teaching both the fundamentals and advanced skills of baseball. We encourage hard work, dedication, as well as a love of the game to allow us to exceed personal and team goals set at the beginning of the season.

Coaching

Our coaching staff is made up of 3 University students, actively involved in the baseball community. Between the coaches, there is over 30 years of rep baseball experience, all have won City Championships and two have won an Ontario Championship. The younger coaching staff not only provides the players with more knowledgeable and skilled instruction, but helps to develop a unique and fun environment for the team.
