Questions

Everything parents ask us

Still unsure? Talk to a coach on +1 (416) 939-6202 or WhatsApp (opens in a new tab). We reply in English, Tamil, Sinhala, Hindi and Punjabi.

My child has never played. Is that OK?

Yes. Every program welcomes beginners, and the coach places your child in the right group at the free session.

What does my child need for the first session?

Running shoes, comfortable clothes and a water bottle. Please ask a coach before buying a bat; the right size depends on height.

How much does it cost?

Programs start from $250 / month, and the first session is free. See Schedule & fees for every price.

Where is training in winter?

Indoors at school gyms in Markham and Scarborough. The current addresses are on the Schedule & fees page.

Can girls join?

Yes. Girls play in every program. Ask a coach about girls-only sessions.

Can I stay and watch?

Of course. Parents are welcome at every session, and little ones love it when you join the warm-up.

See you at the nets.
