What is the Canpitch Program?

Canpitch was created to introduce and develop the fundamental skills of windmill pitching to Canada’s beginner pitchers. Canpitch instructors in each province teach a nationally standardized curriculum founded in Long Term Player Development (LTPD) principles that reflects an athlete-centered approach to learning.

The benefits of a nationally standardized pitching program like Canpitch are:

• All beginner level athletes across Canada will have the opportunity to learn how to pitch from experts.
• Improved skills will improve competitiveness at the local, provincial, and national levels.

• Canpitch Instructors are part of a national network of pitching coaches that are trained through Softball Canada's NCCP Pitching - Beginner context (more on that here). They participate in professional development sessions, which fosters a sense of community and the sharing of best practices.

Contact your Provincial/Territorial Office or local softball association about how to host, become a Canpitch Instructor or enroll a pitcher in a Canpitch Program near you.
