The Just Play Ball program is a Grassroots initiative developed and run by The Dugout Club since 2015 in Richmond, BC. All genders are encouraged to participate in its various programs offered throughout the year. Whether you currently play baseball or not, whether you belong to this association or that, come on out and “JUST PLAY BALL”. It’s exciting and a whole field of FUN if we all make it that way!

With that, Baseball BC and The Dugout Club are thrilled to announce the continuation of the program to help both participants that are new to the game - who want to find out what they’ve been missing - as well as those more experienced who want to further their learning to THROW, PITCH AND HIT beyond what has been available during the Spring & Summer Seasons of baseball. (The next set of sessions are tentatively set for weeks of September 6 to October 4th - See below for registration...)

Parent helpers and youth baseball coaches are encouraged to participate. Help not only your child’s growth and development of the game for now & years to come but also facilitate many others you will engage and mentor. ALL Coaches are strongly encouraged to work through the NCCP Pathways towards being a Trained Coach and ultimately Certified. To learn more about Baseball BC’s Parent Leader/Helper initiatives,

Coaches: TDC Director Serj Sangara will oversee the program with Grant Rimer being the Lead Instructor. As always with the Just Play Ball program, “Parent Leaders” will be required as well to join in and are encouraged to do so…All hands on deck!

Equipment: Participants are encouraged to have their own, especially a helmet. However, if just wanting to “try out” the game before purchasing, The Dugout Club is able to help with gloves, bats, & even some helmets if need be... If so, please register & then email info@thedugoutclub.ca 

When: The program begins Sept. 11th / 2026 and runs until Oct.9th / 2026. (9 Sessions). Mondays and Fridays have training sessions run by long time Coach and Instructor Grant Rimer. Sat all day and Sunday all day will be kept aside for potential games not played mid-week should other teams be interested. Preferences are being asked for on the expression page to give us a feel for player availability for each of the above days. THOSE registering in THIS program, will be given 1st option to also continue with Coach Rimer for Indoor Winter Training. More details on that to follow in the coming days.

U11 PLAYERS (DOB 2016 / 2017 / 2018) FROM 5:00 P.M. TO 7:00 P.M.
