Team Ontario Baseball Information

We provide the best instruction possible. Our excellent, experienced and dedicated coaches, each with expertise in one or more facets of the game, allow us to provide individualized and specialized training. Our coaches attend coaching clinics annually to keep their knowledge current. We provide many opportunities for instruction in our full year-round program. Our well-received four week fall development program involves individual and team skill-specific instruction, and introduces players to our customized baseball-specific off-season strength and conditioning programs. In addition to the fall program, there are indoor winter workouts, our spring league season and our summer travel schedule all of which provide dozens of hours of instruction above and beyond game opportunities. Our top-level instruction is a differentiating cornerstone of Team Ontario. Many baseball programs make claims of U.S. tournament opportunities. However, the best U.S. players do not attend just any tournament. Over years of experience Team Ontario has been able to identify and target those tournaments that are amongst the best and most competitive south of the border. They include the highly regarded Junior Sunbelt Classic in McAlester Oklahoma, the Perfect Game/Baseball America World Wood Bat Championship in Jupiter Florida, the National Amateur Baseball Federation High School World Series in Millington, Tennessee and others. Team Ontario is proud to offer its players the chance to play in these special events. We are invited because of our reputation for top quality athletes who know how to play the game and how to conduct themselves on and off the fieldWe design our program to maximize the exposure of our players. We do this by combining the quality tournaments just outlined with high profile "showcase" or combine events. These types of events, such as the Area Code Games in Chicago and Long Beach California and the Perfect Game Northeast Showcase in Wareham, Massachusetts, literally attract hundreds of scouts and the very best players. Excelling at one of these events is perhaps the surest way for a player to increase his likelihood of attaining his goals. Team Ontario gets results. Since our inception almost every player who has gone through our 17 and/or 18 year-old team has had scholarship opportunities to attend US Colleges. In most cases players receive numerous offers. While some elect to pursue educational opportunities in Canada, most will enter a US University Baseball Program. Our players have received offers from some of the top academic and top baseball schools in North America. In the last two years alone ten Team Ontario players have been selected in the Major League Baseball Amateur Entry draft held annually in June. Several of those players have signed professional contracts and are making their way through the Minor Leagues.
