TeeBall introduces young players to baseball in a safe, supportive, and fun environment. The focus is on movement fundamentals and learning basic skills such as running, throwing, catching, and hitting. Because of the age group, a parent or caregiver must remain on the field and participate during all practices and games. Coaches lead structured drills, and additional adult support keeps players active and engaged.

Farm builds on the foundations from TeeBall with an emphasis on safety, skill development, and enjoyment of the game. Players advance their throwing, batting, baserunning, and positional awareness while working in a team-focused setting. Players also begin learning the catcher position using full protective gear. Coaches operate the pitching machine to provide consistent and safe hitting opportunities. Games generally end with the ever popular relay race around the bases.

Minors is the development level for players advancing from Farm, new to the game, or needing additional development before moving up. Placement is based on skill readiness and safety. Players pitch, and walks are removed for the first month to keep the pace of play consistent. During this first month, after four balls the batter keeps the current strike count and completes the at-bat off a tee. Base stealing is permitted except home. Players must demonstrate readiness for this level, and younger players require sufficient experience before entering Minors.

Majors is the highest division for players 12 and under and uses the full Little League rule set. Teams play an interlock schedule with nearby leagues. Player evaluations take place at the end of February and determine team placement. Evaluation results also form part of the postseason selection process.

Intermediates introduces players to the larger field using a 50 foot pitching distance and 70 foot base paths. Lead offs and balks are in effect. This division bridges the transition from Majors to Juniors and supports players developing more advanced skills. Interlock play with other District 5 leagues may be included depending on registration numbers.

Juniors is for players advancing beyond the 12 year old level and ready for a higher performance environment. The program plays an interlock schedule and is professionally coached and managed by Fred Beitler, Last Raps Baseball. Players and families should expect a stronger commitment to training, scheduling, and travel compared to house league divisions. The team competes across the lower mainland and may also participate in games in Victoria or Seattle. Juniors supports players in developing the skills, habits, and competitiveness required for higher levels of play.

Seniors is the highest division in our program and is designed for players who are ready for a high performance environment on the full size field. This division plays an interlock schedule and is professionally coached and managed by Fred Beitler, Last Raps Baseball. The program is intended for players who are able and want to make a greater commitment to baseball. The team competes against opponents across the lower mainland and may also participate in games in Victoria or Seattle.

West Van Little is the home of the District 5 Lionesses, the North Shore’s all-girls baseball program. Our goal is simple:
to introduce more girls to the game and to provide a space where girls can play as their authentic selves, comfortable, confident, and able to thrive. Since launching in 2022, the Lionesses have run development clinics, played in tournaments, and even hosted a girls jamboree. A highlight was winning the gold medal in the first BC Girls Baseball summer season in 2025.

Clinics will be broken into two age groups (8 – 9 years & 10+ years) and open to all girls on the North Shore. All girls from beginner to experienced are welcome to join. Also, clinics are open to baseball and softball players as coaches have extensive experience playing and coaching both.

With the start of baseball season just around the corner, West Vancouver Little League is excited to offer three March Break camps to help young players in our community get ready for their season.

4 sessions of clinics concluding with a wood bat tournament over the Thanksgiving weekend.
