Field of Dreams Launches Dedicated Softball Camp for March Break 2026
Richmond Hill, ON – For the first time in its 16-year history, Field of Dreams Baseball Camp is officially launching a dedicated Softball March Break Camp, marking an exciting expansion of its spring training programming.
Known across the GTA for high-energy baseball camps and skill development clinics, Field of Dreams is now bringing that same passion, structure, and professionalism to the softball diamond.
The new softball program will run during March Break (March 16–20, 2026) at the Toronto Mets Training Facility in Richmond Hill and is designed to help athletes prepare for the upcoming season in a focused, supportive, and high-repetition training environment.
A Purpose-Built Softball Experience
While Field of Dreams has traditionally operated baseball programs, this new initiative creates a completely separate softball-specific camp experience, delivered in partnership with New Tec Baseball and led by accomplished athlete Natalie Merlin.
Merlin brings an impressive resume to the program, having competed with the Aurora Diggers, Whitby Eagles, and Team Ontario. Her experience at the provincial and national levels gives young athletes access to elite-level knowledge, mentorship, and technical instruction.
“This is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time,” says Jennifer, Director of Field of Dreams. “Softball deserves its own intentional space. This isn’t just baseball adapted for softball — it’s a dedicated program built specifically for softball girls.”
Skill Development Meets Confidence Building
The March Break Softball Camp will focus on:
Position-specific skill development
Hitting and offensive approach
Throwing mechanics and defensive footwork
Game-ready drills and high-quality repetitions
Confidence and leadership development
Players of all ages and skill levels are welcome. Players will be grouped appropriately to ensure the right balance of challenge and encouragement.
The goal is simple: help girls step into their upcoming season prepared, confident, and game-ready.
The Full Field of Dreams Energy
While the softball camp introduces a more intentional focus on the sport, families can still expect the signature Field of Dreams atmosphere — high energy, positivity, and fun woven into every session.
Players registered for the full-day option will also have the opportunity to join the popular afternoon co-ed Wiffle Ball League alongside baseball campers, blending competition with creativity and pure enjoyment of the game.
“We believe development and fun exist together, that is the entire premise of our programs,” Jennifer adds. “March Break is about getting better, but it’s also about loving the game.”
Growing the Game
The launch of the softball camp reflects a broader commitment to growing opportunities for young female athletes and expanding access to high-quality training environments.
With limited spots available, interest is expected to be strong as families look for ways to prepare their athletes ahead of the spring season.
