Summer Season

Playing on a summer season team exposes our players to a higher level of competition and additional learning opportunities. Summer baseball can create memories and friendships that last a lifetime. ​

​

The summer baseball season requires a commitment from players, parents and coaches of up to 7 weeks. Between tournaments, games and practices, players can expect to be on the field almost every day of the week. 

Summer baseball at the Mosquito level includes:

  • Mosquito AAA Tier 1 - 11U

  • Mosquito AAA Tier 2 - 11U

  • Mosquito AA - 11U*

  • Mosquito A - 10U

​

*The AA team can only be fielded after filling up the AAA Tier 1, Tier 2 and A teams, if there is enough interest. 

Each team can expect to play in a minimum of two tournaments, exhibition games and then compete in zones for the ability to attend Provincials. All games are agains equally tiered competition.
