Our Jr. Bees Softball program is built on the framework of Softball Canada's revolutionary way of introducing the sport of Softball to children.
Activities are included which foster the involvement of ALL players, including players with high and low skill levels. The child will experience excitement, enjoyment and success. Activities and lead-up games are patterned after informal playground games that promise an hour of FUN and LOTS OF ACTION. Participants will go home at the end of the day happy and tired while improving their fitness level.

Our U9 5-Pitch program expands on the skills learned in Jr Bees & moves your child to a 30 minute practice followed by a 1 hour, 5 inning game (time permitted). Start time is 6:15 PM. In the early part of the season, coaches will pitch 5 balls to each batter on their own team. Each batter has 5 pitches to hit a ball into play. This structure allows players to develop the fundamentals of hitting, running the bases & positional fielding. Fun play is at the heart of 5-Pitch. A team jersey is included. Player to provide glove, helmet, and fielder mask. New for 2025 season we are expanding our practice and inter-association league schedule, and plan to field a select team to compete in a couple of weekend tournaments.
