TIGERS AND JAYS WELL REPRESENTED

Seacliff Drive was alive Saturday with the crack of many bats as Leamington District Minor Baseball ramped up its early season games.

The association is home to girls and boys offering 11 different local league programs starting as early as U5 T-ball.

Options include T-ball, state-of-the art pitching machines, coach assisted pitching and live pitching, depending on age groups.

There is also an extensive travel program. Enrollment has been encouraging with a whopping 100% increase in the youngest group as they now have 90 players, fielding nine teams. The season runs through the summer months.

Here, members of the U7 Jr. Rookie Tigers — coached by Derek Cobby and Steve O’Neil— gather after their game before heading for a stop at the playground equipment and possibly a cold treat.
