Midget and Bantam divisions will be held at Nanaimo Park. Additional evaluations will be held at Nanaimo Park (Nanaimo & 46th Ave) at the times listed below.
The purpose of the evaluations is to ensure we have balanced teams. All players will be placed on a team.Your child must wear an athletic support and bring a baseball glove and batting helmet. Please bring both running shoes and cleats (optional) to the Boys and Girls club. Cleats can be worn at Nanaimo Park. Bats will be supplied, but you are welcome to bring your own.
If it is raining, evaluations may be rescheduled. If you are not sure, drive to the park or call the park information line at 604.327.2828 for updated information.All players must be registered before taking the field. Any player not living in the boundaries of VMB must see the registrar first, as you may need to get a release form from your local association. Our boundary is east of Fraser St, west of Boundary Road, north of the Fraser River and South of Burrard Inlet.Evaluation Times below (your child should attend as many as possible)
Note: Pee Wee AA tryouts are separate from the regular evaluations. These players may, if they chose to, also attend the regular Pee Wee evaluations.
