Harbourcats need Host Families

by Leave a Comment

We are proud of our relationship with the Victoria Harbourcats summer-collegiate baseball team!!

They provide support to our Little League, Junior and Senior League programs. They do this by offering opportunities for our kids to fundraise to offset costs so that everyone can play. We are also working together to build a program that would see our kids train with their players. The Harbourcats believe in community!

Coaches

We need you! Come get the best training on the island! We want to provide our coaches with the tools they need to have a fun and successful season. We have partnered with Brad Weinmeyer (a previous US college player and premier baseball coach) plus the Victoria Mariners Premier League baseball association to provide up to 7.5 hours of FREE pre-season training for you. We want coaches to get hands-on training to learn how to develop your team’s core skills in a fun and positive atmosphere. This will give you the tools to make practices and games more exciting no matter what the age!

Players

We need your help to participate in the drills! Our coaches can learn best by hands-on experience. The drills will be fast paced, exciting and fun! You will be run through stations designed by coaches who understand and have played the game at a higher level. Limited spaces are available for each age group so please register early!

Parents

Our Little League believes kids learn better when they are having fun. We want to make sure everyone learns the core skills to this great game of baseball. By partnering with Batter’s Box and the Victoria Mariners we are all dedicating ourselves to teaching our coaches & players. But we don’t end training in the pre-season. We plan to hold in-season player jamborees, pitching clinics plus coach and parent clinics so everyone can work together to make baseball more enjoyable. This way everyone wins!

SIGN UP EARLY! SPACES ARE LIMITED! COACHES AND PLAYERS NEED TO PRE-REGISTER.  

Please email us at president@cslittleleague.com . Clinics will be held at the Panorama Rec Centre Indoor Tennis Courts.

New Bat Size Rules In Effect for 2018

by Leave a Comment

ATTENTION!!! NEW bat size a REQUIREMENT for 2018!! 

Unfortunately but fortunately the Little League International has implemented new standards for baseball bats used under their program. Unfortunately we cannot use old bats. Fortunately however, the changes were made to lower the bat performance factor. This is done to protect the integrity of the game and to provide a safer game. More information can be found at http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/baseballbatinfo.htm

Again, this means all bats used in previous seasons will NOT be legal to use in Little League at CSLL.

NOTE – Only previous Junior (2018 Senior) players may be able to use their BBCOR bats from 2017.

Forutnately the league is purchasing NEW bats for the 2018 season! If you are considering purchasing a new bat please be aware of the new standards. Kirby’s Source for Sports is offering our CSLL members a 10% discount on all regularly priced baseball items. They have a list of our members. All you do is please advise the cashier at time of purchase.
