Dunbar Little League has been the focal point of our Dunbar community in the spring and summer months since 1958 for girls and boys aged 5-12. We are excited to be welcoming children in our community back to the park this spring for a safe COVID friendly season of baseball and invite you to join us, no previous baseball experience is required.
Registration is open now, until January 31st: https://dunbarbaseball.ca/registration/
- No previous baseball experience is required:
- We provide a fun, safe and inclusive environment for all children.
- We provide an extensive development program for players at all stages and levels of play.
- The season will consist of games as well as practices and will run from April 17th to June 19th.
- All games and practices are held at Memorial Park West (Dunbar & 33rd) or Balaclava Park (Corner of West 31st & Balaclava)
- Each player is provided a hat, belt and a team shirt in their registration. There is very little additional equipment required:
- Cleats or runners
- Grey baseball pants

DLL has a comprehensive COVID 19 safety plan approved by the Provincial Health Authority. All registrations will be refunded 100% in the event that we are forced to cancel or dramatically alter the season due to the COVID 19 pandemic.
All games are played against other teams within Dunbar Little League, we do not play regular house season games with teams from other leagues which means no travelling and the opportunity to really get to know your neighbours!
We have a fully stocked concession that serves everything from hotdogs and hamburgers to ice cream and slushies. Consider dinner already taken care of the nights your player has a game!
