Age Requirements

U18 Baseball is for players born in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

General Info

We anticipate having 1 team in the division. The season will start at the beginning of April and run to the end of June, with play-offs starting mid-June. Teams vie for the City Championship.
The schedule will consist of games with other teams within the Greater Victoria area. There are approximately 20 games. This division has 90′ base paths just like the MLB.
Coaches will select game slots at a pre-season scheduling meeting that will be shared with families once the team is confirmed. Depending on the number of registrations, there may be an assessment.

Uniforms

Jerseys will be provided. White pants will need to be purchased.

Coaching

This league is run entirely by volunteers, coaches included! It is our goal to have a minimum of 2 coaches per team with 2 parent helpers (to help out at practices and games) and 1 business manager for the team (to send email reminders to the team families on behalf of the coaches) for each team at this level.
Each team will ultimately determine how they would like to structure their coaching staff, but the following is a rough guideline of what is entailed with each role:
 

Head Coach/Manager (1)

• Must submit a Criminal Record Check prior to season start (done annually). Follow this link to learn more.
• Should complete an online NCCP level 1 coaching certification (cost to be reimbursed by the Association.) Follow this link to learn more.
• Attend every practice and game, as well as the preseason coaches meeting.
• Organize practices and drills.
• Determine team lineups for games
• Have a thorough understanding of the divisional rules. Follow this link for more resources.
• Liaise with umpires.
• Send team communications.

Assistant Coach (1)

• Must submit a criminal record check prior to season start (done annually). Follow this link to learn more.
• Should complete an online NCCP level 1 coaching certification (cost to be reimbursed by the Association.) Follow this link to learn more.
• Attend every practice and game.
• Assist with practices and drills.
• Run warm-ups.
• Base coaching and/or running the pitching machine.

Team Business Manager (1)

• Organize team volunteers for field prep and scorekeeping.
• Liaise with Head Coach/Manager for team communication.
• Collect player availability for practices and games.

Parent Helpers (2)

• This is not an official coaching role, and does not require a criminal record check, and you will not get the glory of wearing a coaches shirt… but you will be greatly appreciated by parents, coaches and kids.
• Involves bringing your glove and helping out at all practices and games.

Parent Involvement!

• All families are required to assist with team duties. These duties consist of scorekeeping, field prep at ALL SIX regular season home games, and concession duties. *Dont worry, we will provide training opportunities for these duties, so no advanced experience is required.
