Registration Form Details
This page contains extra information about the questions on the registration forms.
There are two registrations, one for the 26U division and another for the 13U/15U/18U (minor) divisons.
The main difference is that the Minor divisions assume a parent/guardian is registering a minor child while the 26U form assumes an adult is registering as an individual and doesn't have a parent or guardian who needs to agree to the waivers on behalf of the athlete.
Player Information: The first section asks for information about the athlete. Name, birthdate, address, email address, phone number.
The email address is very important, as this will be the primary contact point for most communications from the league, so it needs to be an account that's monitored regularly. This will usually be a parent's email address.
Based on your child's birth year, the division your child is eligible to register will be provided as an option. As we are affiliated with BC Minor Baseball which is based on registration by birth year (Little League runs based on the school calendar year), please register your player by Division according to this (eg. player born December 2012 would register for 15U):
Registration Option: Based on the information provided for the "Player Information" section, you will have the option to select "Vancouver resident" or "Out of Boundary - Tryout Only".
For female athletes who are 16 or under as of Dec 31, 2025, we are offering the option for girls to play on All-Girls teams at VCB if they wish.
For players born in 2007, you may play as an overage player in the 18U AA division (subject to some restrictions as per the BC Minor Rulebook) or you also have the option to play in the 26U division. If you decide to play 26U, you will need to register through the 26U Registration link.
Participant Information: Additional information we require about the participant for our records.
Guardian Information: The second group of question asks for information about the player's parent or guardian. During registration, only one guardian can be added, but more can be added to the child's profile after registration is complete. Any additional email address provided is very important as it will be the primary means of communication from the Association to the player and will be added into the TeamSnap roster for communication purposes.
Travel Team: Select the level of baseball your player wants to register for. "A" House level is recreational and requires less commitment playing against teams within VCB. "AA" or "AAA" is more competitive and requires more commitment and travel playing against teams outside of VCB. Some players want to only be considered for "AA", "AAA" or both and this needs to be indicated here. There is an additional tryout fee and the player will only be scheduled if this section is completed.
Other Activities During the Baseball Season: We ask about other activities to avoid drafting a team that has an excessive number of players who may have regular conflicts with baseball during the season, which can make it challenging to field a team. We know that some players may play other sports (spring hockey, soccer, basketball) or have a part-time job which will interfere with baseball. If this situation applies to you, please tell us as it will improve the chances of making balanced and fairly-drafted teams.
Positions: The question about what positions you played in previous years will help coaches draft balanced teams, so each team has 3-4 pitchers, 2-3 catchers, as well as a mix of infielders and outfielders. The intent is to try to ensure that the talent level is spread as evenly as possible across all the house teams. If you regularly played a position but do not want to play that position again this year, just leave it off the selection. On a house league team, you should expect to play a variety of positions in each game over the course of the season. No-one should expect to play only one or two positions for the entire year.
Additional Questions: For those who select "Travel Team Tryout", there are additional questions that are asked by the coaches to get an idea of your baseball history in addition to information gathered at the Travel team tryouts. Please complete these sections to provide more information for the coaches.
Volunteer Roles: VCB is run by a volunteer board and all house team coaches are volunteers. If you have the time and interest, we strongly encourage you to consider volunteering as a coach or assistant coach. We're almost always short of coaches at every level. We will provide some training before the season starts and ongoing support as needed for inexperienced coaches.
All coaches and assistant coaches (as well as anyone else working directly with athletes) have two additional requirements:
- submit a Criminal Record Check, including a vulnerable sector search
- We would like all coaches (including house team coaches) to obtain NCCP Baseball coaching certification. This is mandatory for travel and summer team coaches.
In addition to coaches, the league has a number of open volunteer roles you might consider filling. Refer to our Volunteers Page for details.
Sponsorship: Our sponsors play a big part in making baseball affordable for youth in Vancouver. If you are interested in potentially being a sponsor, please complete this section so that our Sponsorship Coordinator can provide more details on sponsorship opportunities. Thank you to all of our sponsors!
Tryout Session: Attendance at tryout session(s) is mandatory to be considered for a travel team. During registration, players indicate which sessions they are able to attend. If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, select “Not available.” We will do our best to accommodate the player subject to the availability of alternative evaluation times. Please note that we cannot guarantee this, as it will depend on our coaches’ schedules and availability. If we cannot schedule your player for a tryout session, the tryout fee will be refunded.
