Baseball BC invites you to learn how you can advance gender equity in your baseball community!

Together, Baseball BC (the Provincial Sport Organization for baseball in British Columbia, Canada) and their Regional Coordinators host FREE information sessions to share information and experiences on how we all can advance girls & women in sports by being more inclusive. This presentation provides information and easy steps on how to implement gender-equitable programming, increasing the number of females of all genders playing, coaching, officiating, and volunteering in your local association. The strongest associations build awareness and discussion to promote accessibility and representation throughout all areas, from Grassroot programs to executive roles. As a result and due to high demand, we created a video to reach more people. The link to the video presentation is below. Also, be sure to check out the manual below called "Learn How Associations Can Engage More Girls & Women in Baseball", which was the driving force behind this video. Hopefully, you find a few takeaways from this presentation that might help you and/or your association engage more athletes.

Looking to Start a Girl's Baseball Program in your local Association?

Baseball BC’s Girl's & Women Program has been working with a few local associations in BC to start up Girl’s Only programming within the local community. We are offering the same opportunities & incentives to any Local Baseball Association in BC that might be interested.  Girl’s Day Festivals, Girl’s Only Jamboree Tournaments & High-Performance Identification Sessions are only some of the events offered.

We also offer information on how to develop a program, recruit, & retain female baseball in your association with tools like manuals, presentations & full seasonal practice plans that interest you.  Either way, Baseball BC has it all for you…!!!

FREE BC Girl's Baseball FESTIVAL - Complete

This is a FREE FESTIVAL of baseball celebrating our BC Girl's Baseball Pre-Season Development Series. It's a 1hr & 15min event Feb. 8 at 9AM focussing on fun drills & games for girls of all ages & abilities, even if you're brand new to the sport. Coaches are the best youth mentors in the country & the Langley Events Centre makes this Festival a HOMERUN.  So, come give baseball a try, sharpen your skills or just have some fun!


Completed - Coach Training for "Girls at Bat" - FREE - April 16 & 17 (6-9PM)

Jays Care Foundation, in partnership with Baseball BC & Plan International Canada, is excited to host a two-day Girls At Bat “Hitting it out of the Park” training session for BC coaches interested in instructing & leading female athletes. This session will give you the knowledge & confidence to coach & improve girls in sports & in life. 

This was a very successful event, participants left feeling content and more insightful. The knowledge was valuable to all coaching, leading & parental toolbox...!


Girl’s Day Festivals

Baseball BC is excited to partner with local baseball associations bringing you Fun Girl's Day Festivals. Girls of all ages will have the chance to work with female mentors and coaches as they develop baseball skills and play with and against other like-minded individuals. Everyone will enjoy their time learning the game of baseball and developing skills. This will be a unique experience for any young player to participate in whether or not they are playing in a league already. Our trained mentors and coaches (many with experience with Team Canada!) will build confidence, promote inclusivity, and provide a fun environment for new and experienced players alike.  Whether your daughter has played since t-ball, or she just wants to try out a new sport, get them out to this event!  Sports are so important for healthy development, and we recognize the importance of giving these young players a safe place to further develop their physical literacy and stay active.  
It's also time to recognize that not every young female ball player wants to be pushed into softball.  Although a great game, it is just different.  Baseball is as different from softball as hockey is from ringette. With more opportunities presenting themselves for female baseball players, we encourage you to register and witness the movement for yourself.  We welcome all skill levels and require no previous sports experience.  All we ask you to bring is a ball glove, a smile, and a willingness to have FUN. 

We are excited to host these festivals throughout BC; so, come out and try baseball.  Unless on a team playing in a jamboree that's hosting a Festival (Kamloops, Surrey, Victoria, etc.), registration is required.

Register now by clicking on a date & location best for you.

Girls "Come Try Baseball" Development Series - Cancelled Due to the success of BC Girls Baseball Instructional League above

Due to the success of the BC Girl's Instructional Baseball League below, we are unsure of the availability of this development series.  If there is a strong demand from girls, through registration below, we will look at offering these Monday evenings again. More info is below in hopes girls will register for sessions beginning sometime in May through to August...

Whether you play baseball or just want to try for the first time, come out Monday evenings with other like-minded individuals to have fun & sharpen your skills.  Practices are led by Director of Player Development & former elementary school teacher Al Forman, and often provincial & national players are there mentoring the girls as well.  So, if you like FUN & want to give it a try or challenge your skills, development sessions are to be confirmed at a later date but traditionally have been Monday's 6pm in Burnaby at Kensington Park (No sessions on holiday's - Victoria Day May 21, BC Day August 6).  Hope to see your registration & stay tuned.  We will confirm dates in May or fully refund registrants the $20 Development Cost if there's no demand.
