SPO is proud to offer the Girls' High School Slo-Pitch Provincial Championships each May at the beautiful Slo-Pitch City complex located in Dorchester, Ontario.
- IT'S BACK!
-
After a long three-year absense (the longest rain delay ever), Slo-Pitch Ontario is excited to announce that this Event is BACK!
The 25th Annual Girls' High School Provincial Championships returns on May 25-26, 2023!
This event has long been one of our most favourite, and we love being able to provide this level of competition to the young female athletes across our Province who absolutely embrace the opportunity for fun, camaraderie, and competitiveness. We can't wait to welcome back all of the teams, coaches, parents and supporters!
See you on the diamonds!
Tom Buchan, CEO
- Location
-
Slo-Pitch City is set in a wooded rural area in Dorchester, Ontario, just minutes off of Highway 401, just east of London. There is plenty of shade and shelter for players and spectators. There is a restaurant and outside barbeque that will be serving light snack food. The park has eight diamonds which allows us to schedule the Tournament so that teams have Thursday evening off and will be finished mid-to-late afternoon on the Friday. Having the Tournament on the Thursday and Friday allows teams to compete even if their school has traditionally scheduled proms or spring formals for the Friday night, and also to not have to worry about having available players on Saturday due to work or rep team commitments.
