Softball Ontario's CANpitch Pilot Sessions are a HUGE Success!
NORTH YORK, ONTARIO- Softball Ontario is proud to announce the success of nine (9) CANpitch pilot sessions currently being held throughout Ontario. Each of these CANpitch training session hosts were able to utilize the 50% discounted participant fee and the facility assistance that was available until March 31, 2010. The CANpitch program is Softball Canada’s new national pitching program and is aimed to develop young and new pitchers the basic fundamentals of pitching.
Softball Ontario currently has the following local softball associations being delivered the new CANpitch program by each nationally trained Regional Pitching Instructor:

Softball Ontario currently has over 150 participants learning the new CANpitch curriculum from our trained Instructors and Softball Ontario hopes that all of these participants will leave the 6-week training program with the correct movements and confidence to pitch this summer!
Glencoe Minor Softball Association has already signed up to host a 6-week training program in May! Don’t be left out- CANpitch Instructors are finishing up their previous 6-week training sessions and would love to instruct your pitchers in your area later this Spring!
The fees for late spring CANpitch sign up is $50.00 (plus gst) for FUNdamentals and $105.00 (plus gst) for Learn to Train, which can be 1 or 2 times per week of instruction!
