In exciting further developments for the Girls Baseball initiative, we are thrilled to announce that all 4 little leagues of District 5 – West Van Little League, Highlands Little League, Lynn Valley Little League and Mount Seymour Little League – are coming together to form D5 Girls Baseball!
This girls-only program is meant to be an add-on to current programming within the league, however, players not already enrolled elsewhere are welcome to sign-up and enjoy a safe place to try baseball for the first time. While this program will focus on baseball, softball players are welcome and encouraged to come out!
