March 12, 7:00 - 9:00pm, Mel Baker Hall (Dulude arena)
Travel ball is a new co-ed program for OWLL, expanding and replacing our prospects program. This allows us to offer more training spots to players who want increased skill development year round, and the opportunity to play more competitive ball in the spring that continues into summer. Travel ball is a Little League designation that simply means that we can form the teams earlier, that they will be eligible to play exhibition games in the within the Kingston-Pembroke-Montreal area and in early tournaments in May, and will help us select players for our Canadian teams in summer ball at an earlier date.
Adopting this program reflects the growing size and strength of our league and is a direct response to feedback from parents who were looking to have teams formed earlier in the spring and opportunities to further their child's skill development. As we have implemented the program for the younger ages, we have heard from families looking for more information on the program and how it works within the established house and all-star frameworks.
To answer those questions, we will be hosting an information session for parents and players in the minor to senior divisions on March 12, from 7:00 – 9:00PM in Mel Baker hall, Dulude Arena.
Coaches and league executives will be at the meeting to answer questions on the structure, the commitment level expected, team selection, additional costs… All are welcome, this is for travel ball families at minor – major ages, as well as those interested in joining from the intermediate – senior ages.
