Link to: Changes and considerations for our 2023 season
Welcome to our new Stanley Park website! This website gives us the ability to communicate better with everyone in the organization and all our ball teams and participants. For our 2023 season, we have contracted with Ramp International for each team to have the mobile TEAM APP. We hope you'll be as excited as we are over the 2023 program and utilize our site and the TEAM APP to keep informed about your team and in contact with your team-mates. Your contributions - photos, articles, news, etc. are all welcome and solicited. Work with your team's representatives: coaches & web-admin volunteers to keep in touch and record some history.
Since the mid-70s, there has been T-Ball in Stanley Park (except during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and, unfortunately, 2021). Since taking over the responsibility for running it, it's been one of The Optimist Club of Stanley Park's major programs --- and still is! Our Ball Program has branched out to our current offering which includes Blastball, two levels of T-Ball and two levels of 3-Pitch. Each league is based on age with an overlapping year at the upper & lower ends of the age bracket to accommodate players of different skill levels, interest, maturity, etc. All play is all-inclusive ("co-ed") at the recreational level.
Information on each league is available on this website: Blastball Junior T-Ball Senior T-Ball Junior 3-Pitch Senior 3-Pitch
There are also numerous articles and tips for players, parents, coaches and officials.

In 2019, we had 45 teams involving over 520 players, 130 to 170 coaches (& assistants), numerous additional volunteers and 37 umpires & scorekeepers to keep things organized. We hope you'll want to be involved. The Covid-19 Pandemic forced us to cancel our 2020 and 2021 seasons but we did get things rolling again on the diamonds in spring 2022 with numerous modifications due to pandemic concerns. If you want to join us and participate in our 2023, we encourage you to complete the registration process as soon as you can --- we're accepting registrations now! To deal with health and safety concerns, each team should have at least one adult volunteer dedicated as the team's "Compliance Officer" who will be responsible for ensuring that any safety mandates and protocols are being adhered to and that play proceeds safely. It's likely the "new" reality that we'll be living with ...
