Week of April 3rd practices start – Sunday April 9th. I know this is Easter, so we can leave it up to teams if they want to wait to start or maybe have a special Easter hunt and fun games.
Game schedule starts the weekend of Easter – Schedule to be completed and posted very soon.

This Saturday is the last chance to be assessed before the start of the season. All players Rookies and above need to be assessed prior to team formation. Start times are 12 noon for Rookies & Minors, and 12:45 for Majors. Any questions please e-mail info@nationallittleleague.org

Reminder that Rookies & Minors assessments are this Sunday! Please check your start time and arrive 15 minutes early to sign in. It is mandatory that every player in Rookies and Minors is assessed prior to team formation. A group of coaches and board members assess players based on abilities in throwing, catching, fielding, and hitting to ensure teams are created fairly and players are playing in the proper divisions!

See you this Sunday!

A reminder that Majors player assessments are this Sunday March 5th at the Songhees Wellness Centre (1100 Admirals Road). We will be running two sessions to help expedite the process!

Players with last names begining in A-K will be from 9:00-10:15 and last names L-Z will be from 10:30-11:45.

All registered players ages 9+ are welcome to try out for Majors.

All players registered in Minors & Rookie Minors will have their assessments the following Sunday, March 12th. More details to come shortly for that session.
