• Leagues & Organizations

The Ontario Women’s Baseball League (formerly COGBL) is the longest continuous all-female competitive baseball league in existence in Canada. OWBL is constantly looking for new players to get involved with our teams. There is no age limit, so if you love baseball or are looking for a great way to stay active and make some friends along the way, then we encourage you to get in contact with us.
THE BASICS
Baseball? You mean softball, right?
Nope! We play real baseball with overhand pitching, lead-offs, stealing bases, etc.

Do you play by MLB rules?
Mostly, yes. A few differences are that we play 7 innings instead of 9. We also allow metal bats (you can use wooden if you’d like). The base path measurements are the same as MLB; there are lead-offs, stealing, and all that other fun stuff!

What skill level are the players in the OWBL?
We’ve had complete beginners who’ve never played baseball/softball/slow-pitch before, and we also have some players who have played for Team Ontario. For beginners, we have the On Deck – Learn to Play Baseball program, and for OWBL players looking for a higher level of competition, we have the Toronto Fusion.
