What is Learn to Play Softball?

Learn to Play Softball Makes Learning Fun!

The Learn to Play Softball program is designed to be a young person's introduction to the sport of Softball. The emphasis is on FUN, ACTION, and a POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE, with a gradual introduction to non- stressful competition. LTP Softball provides children aged 5-10 with maximum opportunity to practice the skills necessary to successfully take part in the (adult) game of Softball.

LTP Softball allows children of all skill levels to achieve the same number of skills repetitions. The drills also offer a high success rate for every child, which improves every player's self confidence.

Softball Canada and Softball Manitoba are pleased to announce a Youth Development Program called Learn to Play Softball. All Schools, Minor Softball Association Representatives, coaches and Youth Organizations are welcome to contact us to learn more about this new and exciting program.
