Participation on the All Star rep teams at High Park requires both skill and commitment. The children on the rep teams put in hours of extra practice and their families commit to bringing the players to several weekend tournaments between mid-June and Labour Day weekend.
We send several teams to tournaments across Southern Ontario each year and our Little League High Park All Star rep teams compete in district playoffs and often for provincial and national titles.
As per Little League International policy, all players considering to try out for a High Park Little League All Star team must be registered and actively playing on a house league team to qualify. Try out dates are communicated early in the season.
Those selected to play on a rep team are expected to fully commit to the HPLL All-Stars team before any other non-Little League team or to any other sports-related camps and/or teams during the season. Please note: rep players are required to attend both rep and house league practices. Tournaments will be held on weekends and may be scheduled any time from late June to through to the end of August.
There will be an additional fee of to cover field permits, approved tournament fees and team hat and jersey. Travel expenses are not included.
The HPLL House League program remains the primary focus of the Little League program. Therefore, players with the opportunity to play for an All-Star team must maintain excellent attendance during the House League season. Otherwise, the player will be removed from the All-Star team.
As with our House League program, a player’s playing age is determined by the Little League age eligibility requirements.
Rep Team Try-Outs and Selection
Rep tryouts are open to any child enrolled in the High Park house league, with tryouts held throughout May. Look for an announcement in mid-April about specific times by age group.
Selection for a rep team is based on baseball skills, attitude, and commitment demonstrated during tryouts and practices. Our goal, always, is that the rep teams represent the best traditions of High Park baseball.
History of High Park All-Star teams
The High Park All Stars (Rep) Major and Minor teams have had a very successful run of championship titles dating back to 1957. Back then they were known as the Parkdale Lions Little League. It was renamed High Park Little League in 1985.

The Minors team have won the District 1 championship 23 times, most recently in 2023. High Park Little League is a member of the Ontario District 1 Little League (Golden Horseshoe) affiliation which is made up of 7 other clubs (Ancaster, Dundas, Erindale, Grand River, Oakville, Stoney Creek, Niagara, and High Park).

First “quad” in provincial titles
Toronto’s High Park Little League took top honours in Ontario from 1994 through 1997, and in the process became the first Ontario league to win four consecutive provincial titles. High Park reached the Canadian championship game in each year of the streak, and won the Canadian title and the corresponding World Series berth in 1995.
