National is offering winter skills clinics on Sunday afternoons from January 12 to March 8 at the Quadra Village Community Centre Gym (950 Kings Rd). The cost is just $60 and includes a T-shirt!

The purpose of the clinics is to prepare baseball players for spring season. We will be running individual and group baseball drills to build offensive and defensive skills.

The clinics are targeted at returning players age 7 to 12, but all children who live or go to school in our catchment area, including those new to baseball, are welcome.

This year we are offering two different sessions by skill level:

Group 1: Development – FULL: Email info@nationallittleleague.org to be put on waitlist

• Approximate ages 7 – 11 
• New and returning players 
• Focus is on basic fundamentals
• 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm

Group 2: Advanced

• Approximate ages 9 – 12 
  Have played at least one season of baseball (new players may participate if assessed by a coach)
  Focus is on basic fundamentals and higher-level game play
• 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm

You can sign up for one of the groups online using the SportsEngine ID that you have been using to sign up for other National registrations.

We welcome all community members to attend National Little League’s annual AGM on Thu Nov 21, 2019 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm at our clubhouse (Cook/Hillside). We will be serving refreshments starting just after 6pm.

The main order of business will be electing a new Board of Directors.

If you have enjoyed your time at National and are looking to give back, if there’s something you’d like to see done differently, or if you’d simply like to help out, join us!

Run for one of our required or optional positions, or simply join as a member at large.

See you there!

Registration for fall ball (starting after the Labour Day weekend and running into mid-October) is closed.

Registered parents, please check here for the schedule, or contact us if you have any questions.

We’ll be playing some friendly Friday night pickup games at Jerry Hale field this summer, from July 19 through August 23, starting at 6:00pm.

These games are generally open to registered 2019 spring ball players and their family members. We will form teams and set rules every week depending on who shows up.

We will be playing hardball, so for safety, younger participants require a certain combination of age and experience. We will try and accommodate very young children (under 8) by using a coach pitcher and asking them to play outfield alongside a grownup to protect them from line drives.

Grownups, bring your gloves! Adults might be allowed to play some weeks. The 12-year-olds will protect you from line drives.

See you there!
