Through this league, we aim to see more girls confidently stepping onto the diamond, building their skills, and discovering the joy of competition and camaraderie that baseball brings.

• Creating a safe and supportive space for young female athletes.

• Formats: 
  • 9U – This division is for those aged 7-9. New for 2026, the 9U division will not play Rally Cap baseball, and will instead play age-appropriate games, with similar rules to the 2025 9U “Regular Games”. An updated rulebook will be available soon.
  • 12U – This division is for those aged 10-12. The 12U division will use BC Minor 11U ('Mosquito') rules, less the first two innings of play being ‘coach-pitch’, and further pitching adaptations as needed.
  • 14U – This division is for those 13-14, and those aged 10-12 who are very strong baseball players. The 14U division will use BC Minor 13U ('PeeWee’) rules, with room for flexibility.
  • Free Agents – This option is reserved for those players who are not already playing on a team that is joining the league but are interested in participating. These players will be placed on a registered team for the duration of the season. *If* there are enough Free Agents registered, there may be a full Free Agents team created. Placing Free Agents on existing teams will be the priority.

Division Rulebooks will be available for reference on this webpage soon.

 BASEBALL BC TESTIMONIALS

“When I think back to my youth baseball experience, I have such fond memories of playing on all-girls teams. While I played on mixed gender teams during the regular season, I always looked forward to my time with the Baseball BC provincial team program. Being in a space where I felt more comfortable with my peers was exactly what I needed each summer! I played more confidently in key positions, felt like I was a part of a community, and made lifelong friends (many of whom I’m still close with today).” 

Stacy Fournier, 

Team Canada Athlete and SFU Softball Head Coach

 

“As a young girl it was important for me to be in a space of girls empowering girls. Playing with other females as a kid taught me the importance of celebrating ALL women’s successes, not just personal”

Allison Schroder, 

Team Canada Athlete, VIU Baseball Player, and Forest Firefighter

BCGBL Player Testimonials:

“Just wanted to say thanks again to you and all the coaches for making it so much fun for the girls.  Sarah had a great time and is looking forward to anything else that may come up.”

“Thanks so much.  It was amazing to be a part of this inaugural season.”

BCGBL and BC Girls Instructional League Coach Testimonials

“It was an awesome experience for the players and us coaches too.  Some of the girls were extremely shy in the beginning, but by the end of the day they became some of the leaders.  It was really cool to see them progress on the field as baseball players and off the field as young individuals.  The girls built friendships, learned a few baseball fundamentals and had a lot of fun along the way.”

-Niki Boyd

“Last year I had the opportunity to coach and share my passion for baseball with girls from across the Lower Mainland. I enjoyed coaching and teaching these amazing little girls and watching them grow and improve throughout the course of the camp. Not only did they improve skill-wise, they had the opportunity to meet other girls who shared the same passion for baseball as they do. It was great to see so many eager and excited girls who enjoyed and loved the game as much as I do. I learned a lot from these girls and it was a great experience. I look forward to coaching them again this year.”

-Emma March

 

“I was honoured to help coach such a cheerful and happy group of girls last season with the instructional league. The girls always had smiles on their faces and were having fun, even though they were working super hard and learning lots! An opportunity like this is something that I wish was around when I was younger, as I would have loved to have engaged with fellow female baseball players and been introduced to some amazing role models along the way! I am very excited to be returning as a coach next season and am looking forward to meeting and developing the future of girls' baseball!”

-Liz Gilder

 

“I had an amazing experience this past summer as a coach with the B.C. Girls Instructional League. It was great to see girls with all different experience levels coming together to improve their skills and have fun. It was a summer filled with sweat, tears, laughs, bruises, water fights, and new friendships. I would have loved an opportunity to join a league like this when I was younger. It shows the girls that they have the option to play baseball, softball, or both! I can’t wait to build off this inaugural season and see what 2019 has in store for us.”

-Marina DeAngelis
