Oshawa City & District Fastball League
The History of Softball in Oshawa and District
The Oshawa City and District Softball Association is one of the oldest organized softball bodies in Ontario and one of the first to enlist under the banner of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association (O.A.S.A.).
Oshawa’s first O.A.S.A. team entered provincial playdowns in 1924. In 1926 Oshawa’s first city-wide softball association was organized and in1927 Juvenile and Junior leagues, as well as the existing Intermediate League were formed. Originally named the Oshawa “City and Industrial†League the organization grew by leaps and bounds. It eventually embraced other leagues such as the “South Ontario League†and “Oshawa Church League†both of which played an important part in establishing softball in Ontario but fell victims to the depression years of the early thirties.
Later, as small communities in the immediate suburban district requested permission to affiliate, so that they might carry on, the organization was re-named the Oshawa City and District Association. The leadership and help given to the neighbouring communities has proven a wise and far-sighted move as they continue to provide executive and teams and are the backbone of today’s league.
