18U (HL)

Thorold 18U House-League is a developmental, recreational program for youth born between 2003-2004.  The program runs 2-3 night per week (often on the weekend) out of McMillan Park.

18U teams will have 1-2 practices a week as well as 1-2 games a week.  Typically players are on the field 2-3 times each week.  18U teams will participate in the Niagara District Baseball Association Interlock loop which means that each week they will play a team outside of Thorold (Pelham, Welland, Port Colborne, West Niagara etc.)

Typically there are 1-2 18U teams comprised of 11-14 players each.  Each team will have 1 head coach and a number of helpers/assistant coaches.  The season traditionally starts the week after the Victoria Day May long weekend.

Players will receive a numbered jersey and team hat.  A team picture will also be provided to every player with individual pictures available for purchase.

Players are required to have their own glove, baseball pants, closed toe-shoes, CSA approved helmet with an attached face guard as well as a protective athletic cup (jock/jill).

The season will end around the third week of August and will finish with a playoff tournament as well as a skills competition/fun-day of mini-games, medal presentations and more.

Players interested in playing are encouraged to attend the free in-gym practices that will be taking place in the offseason (facility permitting)
