“TRAINING STUDENT-ATHLETES TO BE FUTURE CHAMPIONS”

Team Ontario gets results. Since our inception, almost every player who has been on our 18U and/or 17U teams as an active player 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.
Since 1998, 45 Team Ontario players have been selected Major League Baseball amateur entry draft held annually in June. Some 30 of those players signed professional contracts with MLB clubs, with five alumni playing multiple seasons of Major League Baseball.
We maximize the exposure of our players to US college coaches and scouts. We do this by combining quality tournaments with high profile “showcase” or combine events. Many baseball programs make claims of US tournament opportunities. Team Ontario staff bring their many years of experience and contacts in the industry into play, to identify and target those tournaments that are among the best and most competitive south of the border.
These tournaments include the highly regarded Premier Baseball National Championship in Joplin, Perfect Game National Championship, the National Amateur Baseball Federation World Series, AABA and Sandlot Baseball World Series.
Showcase events, including our fall trip playing US college and Universities throughout the Mid West and Southern States. Team Ontario Plays NCAA Division 1 & 2 Schools as well as NAIA & NJCAA Institutions. Excelling and preparing for this event is perhaps the surest way for a player to increase his likelihood of attaining his goals.
Team Ontario is proud to offer its players the chance to play in these special events as our reputation speaks for itself.
Our top-level instruction is a differentiating cornerstone of Team Ontario. Players practice 3 times per week in team and position specific environments. 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 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 and practices, our spring-summer league season with the CPBL, and our summer travel schedule, all of which provide dozens of hours of instruction above and beyond game opportunities.
