Just Play Ball Program
The Just Play Ball Program is a Grassroots community initiative developed and run by The Dugout Club since 2015 in Richmond, BC. It’s main difference from registering with organized sports for a “Season” is the amount of flexibility it provides in becoming a Registered Member for the ENTIRE YEAR at little or no cost for many of it’s programs. You can also register to become a member whenever you want to during the year as there is no deadlines. Whatever and whenever you decide there’s something there that interest you, we’ll do our best to accommodate you any way we can. Be it for just some extra inexpensive pre-season training for the association of your choice, or to see if you have any interest in playing this GREAT GAME in the years to come!
What’s NEW for 2024 - which is allowing the above to be possible - is The Dugout Club has partnered with Baseball B.C, the BC Amateur Sports Fund, and the Rishi and Serj Sangara Family Foundation to support the JUST PLAY BALL programs they are planning to offer. Those being Indoor Gym Training - Baseball 5 programs, Rally Cap programs for the youngest ages come Spring, Friday Night Lights games for 10 to 13 year olds come May, Little League registrations whenever we feel enough interest is there and Just Play Ball Sunday morning training sessions as offered this past Summer from June until Oct.
And know that all genders - regardless of skill level, playing experience, financial barriers, boundary restrictions, missed registration dates, conflicts with other sports or events restricting attendance, travel concerns, lacking confidence to at least try “The Game” a couple times - are encouraged to participate in its various programs shown above. Even more so knowing there’s “no cuts” for almost all their programs. (Exception being if there was enough players wanting to form a Richmond Little League All - Star team in late June / July. Other than that, everyone is “All in - All year” if you want.).
