North Shore Baseball Association
Registration
Registration must be received by January 31st to guarantee placement on a team.
Registration is open between: November 1st – February 15th
Spring Season: April to June
Summer Season: end of June to beginning August
North Shore Baseball Association is committed to do its best in keeping players playing together on fields close to their homes and schools, whether they live in either North Vancouver, West Vancouver or Squamish. This is provided that this does not compromise team balance for that division and that NSBA is able to secure those fields. In the older divisions, which includes the “AA” and “AAA” teams, this is more challenging, but we will do our best to access fields, such as Ambleside, so it is available for players in that area.

Player Move Up Requests:
The North Shore Baseball Association is proudly affiliated with BC (Minor) Baseball. The BC (Minor) Baseball system is not constructed in a way that would allow players to “move up” to older divisions. BC (Minor) Baseball is entirely age-based with some tiering by skill level as players progress from 11U (Mosquito) and above. At the younger ages, the system promotes long term athlete development through age-based play focused on fun, support and skill development.
