A Message from the President
Welcome to the 2016 baseball season at Hastings Community Little League - home
of the 2009 and 2012 Major Canadian National Champions.
While 2016 represents the 63rd year of baseball at HCLL, it also represents a new
beginning to our league. 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 completed the construction of the new
baseball diamonds at Hastings Community Park.
As many of you probably know, HCLL has been officially chosen to host the 2016
Canadian Little League Championship tournament from August 4 to 13, 2016. The
hosting of this tournament represents a very large amount of work for our many volunteers at HCLL. While there has been a lot of hard work done to reach this point,
there is even more work to be done. More volunteers are required to both help plan and
operate the tournament. If you would like to help out, please contact Richard Saunders
at 1stvicepresident@hcll.ca.
We are also currently recruiting sponsors for the tournament. If you know of any
companies or organizations that you think might be interested, please contact James
Douglas at marketing@hcll.ca.
I would like 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 would also 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.
And finally, I want to thank the coaches, umpires and players for a great 2015 season. Let’s make 2016 even better!
Thank you to all parents that completed the Parents Survey in 2015. The board has
reviewed the results and will putting forth a plan to be shared with all families prior to
the start of the new season.
Little League is a family affair that gives parents and children an opportunity to
spend time together. We know that your son or daughter will appreciate the benefits of
your enthusiasm and involvement in his, or her, Little League experience.
On behalf of the Board of Directors at Hastings Community Little League, we hope
you enjoy the 2016 baseball season! Cheer on the teams and enjoy everything that
Little League Baseball is about. I look forward to seeing you at the ball park.
Kevin Clegg, President

HCLL CODES OF CONDUCT
Hastings Community Little League Little promotes fair play and respect for all of its participants. The
league's directors, members, coaches, players and parents are all expected to adhere to the codes of conduct set
out below, and will respect the principles of fair play while participating in league related activities.
LEAGUE CODE OF CONDUCT
• We will respect the concept that children play baseball for the fun of it.
• We will respect the spirit of the game and always play by the published official rules of Little League
baseball as well as by such applicable rules as may be adopted by Hastings Community Little League.
• We will respect and cooperate with teammates, coaches, opponents, umpires and other league officials.
We will treat all players with respect. We will at no time interfere with or take unfair advantage of any player or umpire. We will always consider the physical and emotional well-being of others.
• We will display self-control, courtesy, and good manners at all times when representing our team and
Hastings Community Little League.
• We will remember that winning isn't everything -- that having fun, improving skills, making friends and
doing one's best are important to everyone's enjoyment of Little League baseball.
• We will respect the reasonable requests of the coaches, umpires, and league officials. Failure to show
respect, such as disrupting practice or games, may result in a player or parent being asked by League
coaches or officials to leave the ballpark for the rest of that practice or game.
• We understand that if coaches, parents, or children violate this code of conduct they may be
subject to appropriate disciplinary actions by the Board of Directors of Hastings Community
Little League.
PARENTS CODE OF CONDUCT
• I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for them.
• I will encourage my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility
or violence.
• I will teach my child that doing one's best is as important as winning so that my child will never feel
defeated by the outcome of a game.
• I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participants for making a mistake or losing a competition.
• I will remember that children learn best by example. I will applaud good player performances by both my
child's team and their opponents.
• I will never question the umpire’s judgement or rulings during or after a game.
• I will support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from children's sporting activities.
• I will respect and show appreciation for all the HCLL volunteers and coaches.

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 - Arrive 20 minutes before game.
• Scorekeeping - Arrive 30 minutes before game.
• Sell 50/50 tickets - Arrive 20 minutes before game.
The Away team duties for the Minor and Major Divisions are:
• Pitch Count - Arrive 20 minutes before game.
• Concession - MUST arrive 30 minutes before game.
• Barbecue - Arrive 30 minutes before game time.
• Field Clean-Up - Rake infield. For the last game each day: put away
bases, outfield banners and barbecue in clubhouse. Place tarps over pitching mound and
base paths. Put away speakers and lock up scorebooth.
The Home team duties for the Rookie and T-Ball games are:
• Field Set-Up - Rake, line field, and set-up bases.
The Away team duties for the Blastball and T-Ball games are:

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.
11
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 All-Star and Select team selection, you must play on a league team, live within the HCLL Little League boundaries and be
of legal age (age as of April 30th in the current year) 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

Little League Canadian Championship
August 4-13, 2016
Presented by McDonalds Restaurants of Canada
Hastings Community Little League is hosting
the Canadian Little League Championship tournament at Hastings Community Park
August 4-13, 2016. The tournament will
include teams representing regions across Canada
and the host team from Hastings Community Little
League. The regions represented are BC, Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic
Canada. The teams will compete for the right to represent Canada at the annual Little League World
Series played in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The
ten day tournament will be played at the newly renovated Hastings Community Park and is expected
to attract thousands of spectators from across the
lower mainland and Canada.
The hosting of this tournament required years of
planning, fundraising and, of course, the complete
renovation and upgrade of the baseball diamonds at
Hastings Community Park which were completed
in time for the start of the 2016 season at Hastings
Community Little League
These field renovations were made possible due
to the very generous support we have received from
volunteers and local business. Special thanks to the
Pacific National Exhibition (PNE), the Jays Care
Foundation, Wilco Construction, Concord
Masonry, Standard Building Supplies, Rempel Bros.
Concrete Ltd, Feature Millwork Inc., Ciccone
Construction, Blue Mountain Services and ABT
Design Group Inc.
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.

Umpiring at Hastings Little League
Hastings Community Little League has a
strong tradition of training and supporting youth
umpires. Typically drawn from our own players,
but open to anyone, umpires may begin training
from age 9 & up, and may begin working games
once they have completed an initial training session offered through the league. Players can
umpire in any division below the one they play
in. Umpire Fees are paid on a per game basis as
follows: Plate Umpire - $15.00 per game, and
Base Umpires - $10.00 per game.
For more information on how to register to
be an Umpire at Hastings Little League, please go
to the “Umpires” page at: www.hcll.ca or contact
our “Umpire in Chief” at umpire@hcll.ca
Little League Baseball in Canada
Little League Baseball Canada was founded in 1951. It is a separate region of
Little League International which is
based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, U.S.
Little League Baseball touches more than
2.4 million youth in over 7000 leagues in
80 countries. It is recognized as the
largest amateur volunteer sport organization in the world. Volunteers give
freely of their time to provide
a healthy and wholesome
family oriented activity
for the children of their
community.
Little League Baseball
Canada has only one full
time time and one part
time employee. The
umpires, coaches, league
administrators, etc. are all volunteers from within the Canadian
Community. There are more than 45,000
children participating in Little League
baseball in Canada. HCLL is a member of
District 6 in BC Little League which has
more than 12,000 youth participating in
6 districts across BC each year.

The Little League Mission Statement states:
“Little League Baseball is a non profit organization to help and voluntarily assist young
boys and girls in developing them qualities
of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and
physical well-being through the medium of
baseball and softball with guidance and
exemplary leadership. By espousing the
