U10 East Team

Our U10 East team of St Anthony's Angels consists of kids aged 10 and under, mostly comprised of 10 and 9 year olds. The players were selected at a National Capital Region tryout in the Fall of 2020 and will play together for one full calendar year. Our U10 East team competes against the best baseball teams in Ontario as a member of the Fergie Jenkins Showcase League.

Our U10 East team practices twice a week at a field located at 3585 Sarsfield Rd, which is just 5 minutes away from Navan.

One of the practices (Tuesdays) is specifically dedicated to technical training and is led by former MLB Baseball Player Daniel Cordero. The second weekly practice (Thursdays) is a typical team practice focused on infield drills, outfield drills, pitching, catching and batting practice. That practice is led by the team manager, Ian Dufton.

In addition to the 2 practices every week, our team plays 4 games every weekend against the best baseball teams in all of Ontario. These home games are all played at Pierre Rocque Field which is located at the corner of St Pierre St and Rocque St in Orleans, right by Place D'Orleans Mall.

Any interested players are welcome to come out to watch and support our team at any of our home games. To see our team schedule, go to the U10 Schedule page.
