Little Mountain Baseball is proud to bring back Summerball at Hillcrest Park in 2013 -- tell your friends!!

Summerball is a great opportunity for players to play ball and further develop their baseball skills over the summer. We recognize that folks take holidays in the summer and there is no expectation to make every game, nor are there any practices scheduled during the week.

LMB Summerball brings together kids from Little League programs from all over the city and LMB welcomes registrants from District 1 (Dunbar, Kerrisdale and Jericho) and District 3 (Hastings, Trout Lake, South Van, New West). It is a developmental fun program and NOT meant for kids playing on the 9/10 or 11/12 all-star teams.

This year LMB Summerball will run Saturdays and Sundays from Sat July 6 to Sunday August 31. We will run programs for players 8-12 (baseball age for NEXT season, as of April 30, 2014)

Minors Summerball

Ages 8–9 (this season 7-8). This level targets kids transitioning from Mini-Minor A (rookie ball) to Minors or likely to stay in Minors for a second year and who will be facing real pitching. Pitching will be from 42 and 46 feet depending on age and skill. We hope to field 4-8 teams of 13-15 players in this division.

Majors Summerball

Ages 10–12 (this season 9-11). This level targets kids moving from Minors to Majors B or from Majors B to Majors A. It is not intended for players on 9/10 or 11/12 all-star teams, but kids playing on 9 and under teams are eligible to play. Depending on registration numbers this division may have a format with teams shuffled each week, or may have set teams if sufficient players register.

Placement in the Minors and Majors divisions will be based on age and skill level. Each team will consisit of 14-15 players with a wide range of skills.

Assessments will be held at Hillcrest, Thursday, June 20, 6pm

Volunteers needed!

Please email info@littlemountainbaseball.com

We hope to be able to offer Mini-Minor Summerball (ages 5-7) as well, but this is dependent on finding a Coordinator -- let us know if you can help!  

• I will remember that my child plays sport for his or her enjoyment, not for mine.
• I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
• I will teach my child that doing one’s best is as important as winning so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game.
• I will never ridicule or yell at my child for making a mistake or losing a competition.
• I will remember that children learn best by example. I will applaud good player performances by both my child’s team and their opponents.
• I will not force my child to participate in sports.
• I will never question the official’s judgement or honesty in public.
• I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children’s sporting activities.
• I will respect and show appreciation for the trained volunteer coaches who give their time to provide sport activities for my child, understanding that I have a responsibility to be part of my child’s development.
• I agree to play fair.
