The LTP (Learn to play) program is for boys and girls, aged 4 through 7.  The program offers an environment where your athletes have the ability to learn the basics of softball/baseball through a graduated program developed through Softball Canada.

The basic fundamental of the Learn to Play Program is the development of young athletes to be able to catch, hit, run, and learn the game of softball in a safe environment, which also promotes teamwork, fair play, sportsmanship, and loads of fun! At this level they are not playing to win, but rather are praised for hitting the ball or running to the correct base!

It has been compared to a combination of tee ball and coach pitch. The program uses a batting tee to teach the initial skill of batting, and through progression moves to live pitching from a coach. The ultimate goal of the batting portion of the LTP Program is to give each athlete the ability to hit a pitched ball.

We have one of the largest Learn to Play Programs in Calgary, and are constantly working on improving the experience.  We have introduced a year end tournament for this group of athletes, which can be enjoyed by children and parents alike. For a further look into our LTP program, check out the curriculum we follow from the LTP program developed by Softball Canada.

The Learn to Play Program is facilitated on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Some travel is required throughout the district. The only equipment your your athlete will need is a glove and happy helpful parents. Everything else will be provided.
