General Info - Grassroots

Baseball BC’s Grassroots Programming is committed to providing inclusive, diverse, and equitable opportunities in a fun, safe environment where children can learn the fundamentals of baseball. We work collaboratively with all member associations to review existing programs, understand local needs, and explore new initiatives that strengthen and advance grassroots development across the province. Our approach builds physical literacy through Long-Term Development (LTD) principles, starting with the Active Start stage to help young athletes learn the fundamentals in a positive, engaging setting. As players move through the pathway, we strive to support their growth at every step, leading to Sport for Life opportunities that keep participants involved in baseball, whether they choose to play, coach, umpire, or simply stay active in the game.

Camps - Summer, Winter, & Spring

Whether you are a new player with no experience or have been playing for years, our summer camps provide an opportunity for everyone between the age of 6-12 (girls up to 14) to develop their skills into the players they want to become. Click here for more info. 

Parent Leader Coaching Program

With the help of specialists, we have developed a manual for parents who are offering to coach and be Parent Leaders at grassroots divisions.  This manual will explain baseball positioning, proper mechanics of drills & skills, and full practice plans to assist in becoming a successful Parent Leader/Coach.  Parent Leaders/Coaches need only to follow the program manual and practice plans to be winners. Click here for more info.
