Children from 5 to 13 years old are eligible to participate in one of our programs.
Enroll in the Ball Foundations program if they are:
- 5 years old turning 6 this year
- 6 years old with no previous baseball playing experience
Enroll in your choice of the Baseball or Softball program if they are:
- 7 to 12 years old regardless of playing experience
- 6 years old with sufficient skills to play with older children
- 13 years old with limited playing experience
Children are grouped based on their year of birth for both skills training and games. Coaches will move any children whose skills are noticeably advanced for their age level up a group accordingly after the first day of training.
We encourage players of all abilities to attend our camps. Whether your child is brand new to the sport or an experienced veteran there is a place for them at Vancouver All Stars Baseball.
Your child should bring a baseball or softball glove appropriate for their program, athletic shorts or baseball pants, running shoes, water/drinks, a healthy lunch and snacks for the day. Sunscreen is strongly recommended.
We provide all who pay the registration fee with an official jersey and baseball hat. We also provide all necessary equipment including safety baseballs and softballs, youth baseball and softball bats, CSA approved batting helmets and protective catching equipment.
Your child may bring any additional baseball equipment they feel will be of benefit to them, such as a CSA approved batting helmet, a youth baseball or softball bat, and baseball pants if wanting to slide. Cleats (metal cleats not permitted) and protective athletic supports are optional.
If your child has a severe allergy to any food please indicate this on the registration form so that they can be avoided. Our programs are “nut free”.
In the event of rain we aim to play through a light to moderate rain. If heavier rain, those wishing to attend camp will have the option to go to the library inside the community centre. If we are unable to play due to heavier rain, those not wanting to attend can credit to a make-up day during the year. Parents will be notified by email prior to any forecasted rain in the schedule. If not attending, please send an email to notify us so we may plan the coaches’ staffing accordingly.
Extended care is available from 8:30 am to 9:30 am and 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Our rate per child is $5.00 per half hour and the family rate is $7.50 per half hour.
Please indicate what dates and time you require before / after care on the registration form. Please contact us if you have already registered and are in need of extended care.
We will try our best to accommodate your child. Please contact us if your child is interested in attending.
We will not photograph or film your child without prior parental permission.
We accept “drop in” players at the rate of $75 per day or $45 per half-day. Drop in players will have the option to pay the registration fee of $30 if they wish to receive our uniform.
Payments by cheque or Interac transfer are encouraged to be made before your registered start date. Otherwise we cannot guarantee your registration.
International registrations without a Canadian bank account must mail a cheque (check) to the address on the invoice at the time of registering.
Please respond to the invoice email accordingly. Late Payment Penalties apply regardless if the invoice is overdue or not.
Until a payment has cleared into the business account your child(ren) will not be accepted into any of our camps. Please avoid paying by cheque at the start of camp due to holds and ensure your E-Transfer has been deposited by allowing 30 minutes before the start time of your registered program dates.
A late payment penalty of $10 / day will be imposed for any overdue payment(s). Failure to pay any penalty will be subject to removal from our camps.
Payments overdue for 14 days will automatically be subject to the cancellation of the registration. *A reinstatement fee of 10% of the invoice total will apply in order to reinstate the registration.
Late payment(s) cannot be waived and the reinstatement fee is non-negotiable for the total balance of the initial invoice (not any balance due).
Late Registration Penalty
$50 for registrations made during the operating schedule of the camps beginning at the end of the previous business week (Friday at 5:00 pm).
Same Day Registration Charge
$25 for registrations made at the end of the previous camp day (3:30 pm on weekdays during camps’ seasons).
All payments are final. Please have the courtesy to reply to our invoice email if you wish to cancel. On the 14th day overdue invoices will be charged a fine of $100. All invoices overdue after 14 days will automatically be cancelled and subject to the mandatory reinstatement fee for the week(s) registered for.
Changes will be permitted for a fee of $15 pending space(s) available for the desired week(s) / camp / program dates. All changes made within the late registration time periods will be charged in that category in addition to the $15 fee.
Students ages 14 and up are welcome to apply as a volunteer for the Spring and / or Summer Camps. Please contact the camp directly at: [email protected] with your interest to volunteer.
We are not responsible for lost or missing items at camp. Please label your child’s baseball equipment with their name and double check each day to make sure they have their equipment after the camp day. We do not leave any equipment or belongings on the field. Anything left will be stored with the camp equipment / lost and found.
