Peninsula Baseball and Softball Association is accepting registrations for both Baseball and Softball.

Please see a brief description below for both our baseball and softball programs:

The Baseball division offers our 7U – Rally Cap program to 2010 and 2011 born athletes. This is no T-Ball! We have the players out to Rotary Park on Airport lands one weeknight and Saturday mornings. The season will start in early to mid April and end about the third week of June. There is no time to stand around for our players as they are kept busy for 75 – 85 minutes and then sent home wanting to come back (that’s our goal anyways). We will have an end of season Rally Cap day where we test the members in five different disciplines. Their total score dictates what colour of Rally Cap they earn for the season. It is our seventh year running this terrific program at PBSA. We provide a uniform shirt, a club baseball hat and a team picture all to keep after the season. Our facility is probably the nicest youth ball park in Greater Victoria for sure with exciting new concession management this year! All this is for just $ 95.00 - $ 50.00 of which you can recoup by selling a book of raffle tickets that you paid for. Go www.pbsa.ca to get registered or contact Dave Swinton for more information at vp-jrbb@pbsa.ca

PS There is still room for younger siblings too in our 5U – Little Sluggers program that runs just Saturday mornings for 2012 and 2013 born athletes!

Our Softball Division offers our Learn to Play (LTP) program to girls only birth years 2011-2010-2009. The LTP program introduces Softball to girls in a Revolutionary way as it ensures girls have FUN while improving their fitness and developing their fundamental movement skills. LTP fosters success for all ability levels and has easy to follow activities and lead up games that are led by our experienced coaches. This gives every child the opportunity to develop softball skills because everyone is active for every minute of the session.
LTP teams will play a schedule of games against other local associations on Saturday mornings and have a weekly session to develop their skills and most importantly have fun on Wednesday evenings. There is a year end jamboree for the girls to conclude their season with many fun activities. The season runs from mid April – middle of June.

We have been running our very popular Winter clinics led by Don Savostianik and past and present Victoria Devils fastball players since February and have three sessions left. These are at Panorama Recreation Centre in the tennis bubble. All you need are clean runners and a ball glove (we have a few extra gloves if your child needs to borrow one). We welcome girls to come out and give it a try! There is no charge for these clinics.

Saturday, March 4th 11:00 – 12:30
Saturday, March 11th 11:00 – 12:30
Saturday, March 18th 1:00 – 2:30

All participants and families go home happy and will look forward to the next LTP session!

Fee for LTP is $ 95.00 - $ 50.00 of which you can recoup by selling a book of raffle tickets that are included in your registration fee.

Please contact Andy Pelton for more information about our LTP or any other divisions at www.vp-jrsb@pbsa.ca

Softball also has a few spots open in our U10, U12, U14 and U19 divisions for the older siblings.
