2015 Program
A Message from the President
Welcome to the 2015 baseball season at Hastings Community Little League - home of the
2009 and 2012 Major Canadian National Champions. 2014 was a very exciting year for us
with our Rookie and Minor All-Star teams winning the District 6 Banner. Our Minor All-Star
squad followed up winning the district banner by winning the 2014 Minor Provincial Banner
in Trail. Our Major All-Star team placed second in Districts. I would like to extend our congratulations to all the players, coaches and parents involved!
2015 represents the 62nd year of baseball at HCLL. It also represents a season of change.
With ongoing support from the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, Hastings
Community Association, the PNE and the Jays Care Foundation, along with the help of Wilco
Contracting, we have achieved the completion of the new diamonds at Hastings Park. While,
to some, the fields may look playable for the 2015 season, they need time to properly to take
root and mature. This means the diamonds will not be ready for play until 2016. All 2015
regular season and playoff games will take place at Falaise Park. The multiple diamonds at
Falaise will allow us a full schedule of games.
HCLL has been officially chosen to host the 2016 Canadian Little League Championship
tournament at what will be the newly renovated Hastings Field. The field renovations along
with the challenge of hosting the 2016 Canadian Championship represent a very large workload for our many volunteers at Hastings. While there has been a lot of hard work done to
reach this point, there is even more work to be done and more volunteers required to help
complete this vision. I would like to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to all our sponsors and volunteers from our league and community for the work they have done and whose
continued support of Hastings Community Little League has helped turn our organization into
what it is today. I also want to pass along a special thank you to all past and current board
members. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. Without you, there is no Little League for kids to
learn and play the game they love. Thank you.
I want to thank the coaches, umpires and players for a great 2014 season. It was a year
with an increased focus on the development of players. The development of player’s, and
young umpires will again be the focus in 2015.
Little League is a family affair that gives parents and children an opportunity to spend time
together. Whether we are coaching the players, selling hot dogs in the concession, or raking
and lining the field, it’s fun to be part of Hastings Community Little League. We know that
your son or daughter will appreciate the benefits of your enthusiasm and involvement in his,
or her, Little League experience. Remember to only cheer for the kids. HCLL will have zero
tolerance for the berating of players, coaches and umpires.
On behalf of the Board of Directors at Hastings Community Little League, we hope you
enjoy the 2015 baseball season! Cheer on the teams and enjoy everything that Little League
Baseball is about.
I look forward to seeing you all at the ballpark. — Kevin Clegg, President

Little League baseball as well as by such applicable rules as may be adopted by Hastings

PARENT GAME DUTIES
Hastings Community Little League is a parent run volunteer organization. For every
game played at the baseball diamonds a number of tasks need to be performed. Although
game responsibilities vary slightly for each division and field assignment, every family in our
league is required to fulfill their volunteer commitment by performing parent duties at their
child's games. For the work needed to be done at each game we have split up the duties
between the designated Home and Away teams.
The Home team duties for the Rookie, Minor, and Major Divisions are:
• Field Set-Up - Rake and line field and setup bases. Open scorebooth, setup speakers
(first game each day). Put up banners on the outfield fence (weekends only).
• Scoreboard and Announce Players.
• Scorekeeping
• Sell 50/50 tickets
The Away team duties for the Rookie, Minor, and Major Divisions are:
• Pitch Count
• Concession - Arrive 30 minutes before game start time.
• Barbecue
• Field Clean-Up - For the last game each day: Rake field and put away bases. Lock scorebooth. Put away speakers and barbecue. Put away banners on outfield fence.
The Home team duties for the Blastball and T-Ball games are:
• Field Set-Up - Rake and line field and setup bases.
The Away team duties for the Blastball and T-Ball games are:
• Field Clean-Up - Rakes field and puts away bases and

Parent duties for each game in all divisions will be
assigned by the team coach or team parent.

ALL-STAR AND SELECT TEAMS COACHES
AND PLAYER SELECTIONS
Division All-Star teams are selected for the T-Ball, Rookie, Minor and Major divisions each
season to compete in Little League tournaments after the regular season. Age specific Select
teams may also be formed depending on the availability of coaches and tournaments in any
given year. In the past we have had 7, 9 and 11 year old Select teams rep- resent HCLL in various tournaments.
A notice will be issued by the Division Coordinator regarding the tryout dates, times and
locations for All-Star and Select teams in each division.
The parents will be informed of the number of games, tournaments, practice commitments,
additional team fees, and any volunteering that is required. Any player chosen for an All-Star
or Select team will be assessed additional fees and a refundable uniform deposit.
Managers of the All-Star and Select teams are selected by the HCLL Board based on written applications which are submitted for their review before June 1st each year. The appointed Managers will each be responsible for the All-Star and Select selections for their
respective teams. The Manager will also select his/her assistant coaches which
will be approved by the League President.
Any player may try out for any All-Star or Select team for which they are eligible to play based on their age and residence eligibility requirements. For AllStar and Select team selection, you must play on a league team, live within the
HCLL Little League boundaries and be of legal age for your division. For All-Star
teams these ages are 7 and 8 for Rookie, 9 and 10 for Minor and 11 and 12 for Major. For Select
teams, the eligible age will depend on the age category specified for each individual Select
team.
It is mandatory that players play within their designated division and age group for either
an All-Star or Select team.
Rookie age (8 year old) players who played up a division in Minor during the regular season
are eligible to play on the Rookie All-Star team.
Minor age (10 year old) players who played up a division in Major during the regular season
are eligible to play on the Minor All-Star team.
Please refer to the HCLL website for additional details regarding the selection process and criteria used in selecting players.
The T-Ball All-Stars are chosen by the T-Ball Division Coordinator and All-Star coaches with
no tryouts being held. Each tournament team will consist of a maximum roster of 12 players
of league age (5 and 6) who played on a T-Ball or Blastball team during the regular season

HASTINGS COMMUNITY LITTLE LEAGUE
DIVISION PROGRAMS
Hastings Community Little League provides the following
baseball programs in five divisions for boys and girls between
the ages of 4 and 12.
The Blastball Division is designed for 4 year olds who are
playing baseball for the first time. This is a fast and fun game
that introduces some basic concepts of baseball without the
stress of learning the more complex game of T-Ball. There are
5 - 8 players per team and each player gets an opportunity to
hit the ball each inning. In Blastball there are 3 innings
played and an inning is complete when each player has had a
turn at bat.
The T-Ball Division is designed for 5 and 6 year olds who
want to learn the basic fundamentals of baseball. Team sizes
range from 8 to 12 players. In T-Ball, everyone bats and players rotate fielding positions.
The Rookie Division is for 7 to 9 year olds. The Rookie division is an instructional division where a pitching arm is used, scores and standings are kept and outs are recorded. 10
players play defensively in each inning rotating between positions in the infield and
outfield. Players are taught the fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to
playing positions and are taught throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position and
running the bases. All players bat through the order.
The Minor Division is for 9 to 11 year olds. In the Minor division, players are evaluated
and selected onto teams at the start of the season. Batters face live pitching for the first
time and a maximum of nine players are on the field defensively for each inning. Players
are rotated through the infield and outfield positions and may sit for one or two innings at
the discretion of the coaches. All players bat through the order.
The Major Division is for 11 and 12 year olds and it represents the highest level of competition at Hastings Community Little League. Players are selected onto teams after an
evaluation process before the start of the season. There are a maximum of nine players in
the field defensively for each inning. Players are rotated through the infield and outfield
positions and may sit for one or two innings at the discretion of the coaches.

THANK YOU TO THE JAYS CARE FOUNDATION
Hastings Community Little League would like to express its sincere gratitude and thanks to Jays Care
Foundation and the Toronto Blue Jays for their Field of Dreams grant made to our league. This $150,000
grant is made through Jays Care’s Field of Dreams program, which invests in the creation of safe youth
spaces, including baseball fields, across Canada so that all kids can reach their full potential. These funds
will play a significant role in providing much-needed improvements to the baseball diamonds at Hastings
Community Park, including backstop replacements, diamond reconfiguration, soil and sod replacement,
and drainage and sprinkler installation. This renovation will allow HCLL to expand its programming by 72
players while providing a safe environment for many future generations of Little League baseball players
from East Vancouver and North Burnaby. It will also allow us to continue with our plans to host the 2016
Canadian Little League Championship tournament at Hastings Park for 11 and 12 year old players from
across Canada.

THANK YOU
Hastings Community Little League gratefully acknowledges and thanks our sponsors and many volunteers for all their support during the 2015 baseball season.
Because of you, we are able to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of young boys
and girls by providing a safe, fun, and family oriented program which teaches good
sportsmanship, teamwork, courage and respect through the game of baseball.
