The smell of the grass, the feel of the worn-in mitt on your hand, the whoosh of the ball flying toward you. There are few feelings that scream “Spring” like baseball, and Whalley Little League is top-notch to learn exceptional skills in a fun environment.
Whalley Little League has a history of excellence. From humble beginnings in 1956 in a mostly underdeveloped area, to the organization it is today, Whalley Little League credits its success to the dedication of volunteers, parents and of course, the players for continually giving their all. Whalley Little League, players learn courage, character, and loyalty that they will carry from the playing field to their lives after baseball. With divisions for children ages 4-15 years old, joining the team is a fun and affordable way to learn the game at the best facilities in the Lower Mainland. The teams are co-ed and are based on age and skill levels. Whalley Little League has been to the World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania 6 times. Will 2023 be the year they return?
