Mission
Since 1970, the Ottawa Nepean Canadians Baseball Club has provided top-level players in the Eastern Ontario area with the opportunity to play the highest caliber of competitive baseball.
We currently offer elite 13-18 year olds a comprehensive program to develop and refine their skills, enabling them to continue on as student-athletes, with some going on to reach the professional levels of baseball. Graduates of our program have consistently achieved success professionally, on our national team, and at universities and colleges across Canada and U.S.A.
ONC fields six teams: 18U, 16U, 15U, 14U Major, 14U Minor, and 13U with a program designed to provide year-round player development, promoting teamwork, quality competition, and generous exposure for these top players. Players selected to our program prepare for the following season with a fall program that includes a balance of team practices and intersquad competition. Team workouts continue with an indoor winter program commencing in January.
All our teams compete in the Canadian Premier Baseball League (CPBL). Founded in 2015, the CPBL provides exactly what its name alludes to: a top-tier organization within Canada's baseball sphere that hosts the top amateur players and programs from Ontario.
The CPBL and its member programs offer players a rich competitive environment, cutting-edge resources to succeed, and access to the proper showcase events to hone their skill sets. Above all, the league is committed to producing high-caliber players with a focus on development and enhancing the profile of the game in Canada.
In less than a decade of existence, the CPBL has already produced numerous MLB draft picks, Canadian Junior National Team players, and student-athletes who have continued their careers at post-secondary institutions.
Through the summer, the teams play in several showcase tournaments in the United States and Canada, providing our players with exposure to collegiate coaches and scouts.
Vision
There is no question about the important role sports play in the well-being of youth, in terms of physical fitness and mental health.
Whether our players continue their baseball careers at the collegiate level, professionally, or simply move on with their education and career, the ONC baseball club provides our players and their parents with an elite experience.
Time spent in the ONC's program also helps them prepare for adulthood by developing the ability to graciously accept success, remain strong during tough situations and difficult outcomes, and be good members of the community through volunteer service efforts by our players.
