North London Baseball has worked diligently over the past several seasons on player retention and coach development. Each of these is critical to continued growth and success. Through our partnerships with our Sponsors we are able to reach into the greater community to promote the game of baseball.
North London Baseball is proud to have partnered with the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in St Marys to educate and promote the long and vital history that Canadians have played in this great game. North London Nationals have a history of Baseball Ontario Champions, league champions, tournament champions and our members play key roles in our community. We continue to work with our high school aged players as they assist us in our programming to earn community hours towards graduation. We have started the process with the London Majors to create a mentoring program that will benefit our entire association in years to come.
London is fortunate to have Centrefield Sports, Canada’s largest indoor training facility, and we work with President Adam Stern on the promotion of the game. Each year we celebrate our season of success with our annual banquet. 2013 marks out 5th consecutive event and is already shaping up to be one of our best shows ever. Guest speakers have included Tom Valcke, CEO iCASE Baseball Academy, Joe O’Neill, President LDBA, Jeff Flesher, OBA Clinician and Andrew Henry, a NLBA graduate who is now at UWO. The banquet features special presentations, awards, luncheon and an audio visual presentation that would rival the big leagues. Once a National, always a National, our program has graduated players to the AAA London Badgers and some of those players continue to be active in MLB today.
In the end, it’s all about the "love of the game", creating happy athletes that will play the great game of baseball for years to come. North London Baseball is extremely proud to have been name Kobe Sportswear Association of the summer and wish everyone the greatest success this season. If you build it, he will come, has never rang more true than at North London Baseball Association. www.northlondonbaseball.com
