SOFTBALL IN OTTAWA, BUT MAKE IT FUN
After many years of playing softball in Ottawa, it's clear that there's a gap at the recreational level. While plenty of leagues promise a fun, welcoming, relaxed atmosphere, that promise falls short far too often. Whether it's due to overly aggressive players, lack of league responsiveness, or a misrepresentation of skill level, it's clear that it's time for a change.
OUR PRIORITIES
COMMUNITY
The goal of every game is to have fun and get better. By keeping the league small and hosting open communication channels for all players, ALLBALL will foster a culture of friendship and support both on the ball diamond and off.
SAFETY
Through the use of common-sense solutions like certified umpires, low stakes pre-season games, and a clear player code of conduct, ALLBALL will create an environment where league members feel able to be their best sporting selves at all times.
FUN
Who wants a summer of the same old sport over and over again? From theme nights to league outings ALLBALL will keep things rockin’ all season!
AFFORDABILITY
ALLBALL is a completely volunteer run league. This means everyone's league fees go straight back into the league for things like field rentals, equipment, and events. We're not trying to pay anyone's salary here.

WHERE WE'RE AT
With 2 full seasons in the books, we're gearing up for our third season as a league. While we would have liked to expand to 8 teams, field time in Ottawa is hard to come by so we've made the decision to remain at 6 teams until the time is right. We don't want to compromise the experience of our current players to squeeze more people in. In our end of season poll, nearly everyone showed some intention of returning, which is a great sign that ALLBALL is doing what it set out to do; create a space and community that keep people coming back for years to come. This season, we're doing a lot of the same, but expanding and making some small modifications to improve the experience. Our diamond and times stay the same, our playoff tournament is back with some improvements, and we're even adding a bonus tournament for those who are so inclined. We'll outline all the changes coming this season in the signup form, so check there for exact updates!
