Rep

September-7-2013-Saturday-Rain1-001

Toronto Playgrounds offers Rep baseball in a number of age divisions. Our goal will be to move towards offering the opportunity for rep baseball in each of the age divisions involved in rep baseball, but ultimately the number of teams offered will be decided upon by the TP Board of Directors based upon the level of interest in terms of players and coaches, available diamond time, and other relevant considerations.  Rep baseball is a “higher” skill level generally than Select baseball,

  • Players are required to “make” the Rep team, so only those chosen will be part of the team. Tryouts will take place each year, so being on a Rep team one year doesn’t guarantee a spot the following season or seasons.
  • At Toronto Playgrounds the Rep tryout process will traditionally take place in mid- to late September with practices into October. Practices/workouts will take place indoors during the late fall/winter and outdoors once weather and permits allow. Games will begin in early May.
  • The Rep season begins in early May and concludes with the playoff tournament in mid-August. Teams that win their playoffs (or in some cases come second) will then play in the Provincial Championships on Labour Day weekend.
  • Rep players will usually play two games per week in their “loop”. Our TP teams play against teams throughout Toronto and in Durham, Peel and York Regions. There is more travel involved in Rep baseball, both because of the potential distance to a game and also the frequency of games.
  • Rep teams will usually practice twice a week.
  • Rep teams also play in a number of weekend tournaments throughout the season.
  • All Rep teams are coached by volunteer coaches.
