The Program

The Thunder program is an all-inclusive program with a focus on player development and competing as a team for a National Canadian Championship at the 18u level. We also compete for canadian titles at the 22u and Senior levels. Our season begins with tryouts in August/September each year, followed by a short, mostly local fall season. This framework allows players to have an offseason, where they are encouraged to be involved in other sports/athletics at club or high school levels. During the offseason, players are provided, and encouraged to follow a strength & conditioning program that gradually builds toward indoor workouts. Beginning in late February, the team will begin preseason indoor workouts to prepare for the upcoming baseball season. The 16u and 18u teams play in the Premier Baseball League of Ontario (PBLO) which starts the first weekend in May.

The Team

The 2024 Thunder 16U team will compete in the Premier Baseball league of Ontario. Teams can expect 24-28 regular season games played over seven weekends in May and June. All home games are played at newly renovated Lacasse Park. Additionaly, the team will attend showcase tournaments in both Ontario and the United States.
