SCARBOROUGH SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION (SSA)  has been operating as a league in the east end of Toronto since 1956.  Our league currently provides house league, select programs and competitive softball for hundreds of girls and boys in the Scarborough area in the city of Toronto. As we look ahead to the future we must thank all of the hundreds of volunteers of youth softball in Toronto who have helped develop and nurture our organization in these past 52 years.

 

Despite the challenges of changing demographics of our city and the movement to other sports, we hope to overcome this and continue to provide a growing, learning and fun environment for youth softball players at every age and ability.

 

Kids these days spend a lot of time indoors playing with their ipods and computers. Youth softball is a chance to meet with their friends outside of school, make new friends, be a part of a team, play outdoors in the sun (and sometimes a little rain), to run, jump, and smile and all the while learning new skills.

 

AFFILIATED LEAGUES IN SCARBOROUGH

 

SSA  has 9 affiliated house leagues within the area of the Scarborough limits. These leagues will offer play within their surrounding area and if there are not enough teams they will play in an interleague or an interlock program with teams in the other leagues that are mainly within the Scarborough borders.

 

These leagues offer girls and boys softball for all kids from age 4 (t-ball) to 19 (Midget).

 

For those that want to play at a more competitive level the house leagues will offer select team programs for most age groups which will mean some extra practice and the entry into a few select tournaments in the Greater Toronto Area.

 

For the REP program the SSA sponsors 4 rep teams in the girls division and 2 in the boys division. These teams play home games in Scarborough and play against other REP teams outside of the Scarborough area. They also enter tournaments throughout the summer.
