Canadian Championships

Minor Fastpitch (U15-U20)

The Softball New Brunswick Provincial Team program was implemented in the year 2020 and the inaugural season was held in 2022 (COVID-19 delay). This high performance program was designed to offer a competition pathway for Softball New Brunswick's top male and female athletes in each age category (U15-U20). Teams will be made up of the best athletes from around the province of New Brunswick and they will train consistently together to attend the Softball Canada Canadian Championships on an annual basis. This model will help to prepare athletes, coaches, and officials for future high performance events (Canada Games, National Teams, etc.).

Softball New Brunswick will send one (1) team per age category for both our female and male program.
