Canada's top young ballplayers heading to Napanee for national championship

The tournament is seen as a major boost to the local community.

The U17 Men’s Canadian Fast Pitch Championship is coming to Napanee from August 6 to 10, bringing the best young players in the country to the Fairgrounds Sports Complex.

Softball Napanee earned the hosting rights after submitting a bid to Softball Canada in late 2024.

We spoke with Stephen Paul, who says fans can expect exciting action and top-quality games all week.

Tickets will be available at the gate starting August 6,

Hosting the tournament is a major boost for the local community, with economic benefits and a chance for young athletes to be inspired by elite competition.

Host Napanee Express' first game is Wednesday, Aug. 6 at 1pm against Newfoundland, then they play their second game against Quebec following the opening ceremony at 7:15pm.
