More info coming shortly!

Please notice the changes to the age brackets for all our divisions (Coming soon)...
Our directors have collectively agreed that these changes best suit not only player developoment and evenness across divisions, but give the best (and safest) on-field experience to the children enjoying and learning the great game of baseball and softball.

The clinic dates for the 2015 fall baseball program have been finalized. Clinics will alternate between Monday and Wednesday evenings on D3 (Majors diamond) from 6:00pm-8:00pm (except for the first week September 2 & 4).  This will be a nine week program and we are organizing and coordinating exhibition games for majors players (ages 10-12) which will be determined by the end of next week.  These games will be against both Beacon Hill and Lakehill baseball programs. These games will be on Friday evenings and times will be announced once these are finalized.  The first of these games is set for Friday September 11th vs. Beacon Hill (6:00pm) and we will determine a Layritz lineup once we have confirmation of who can play.

Below is the list of the minors and majors clinics (all on D3) for this fall.

Now we fully realize that hockey, soccer, and other organized sports may conflict so this is the reason we alternated the Monday's and Wednesday's clinic sessions for the minors and majors aged players in hopes that some of the clinics will be easy and conflict free to attend.

We sincerely hope you can make it out to as many as you can.  These dates will be posted to the Layritz website by the weekend.

The final piece of business is there is payment required. For 2015 the fall baseball program fee is $45.00.  Long sleeve microfibre shirts will be provided and we will have sample sizes to try on the first week of clinic sessions.  These fees will also be used to pay for the umpires when Layritz hosts Friday games at our park.  Please bring a cheque - payable to Layritz Little League or cash to next weeks first clinic.  Tax receipts will be forwarded to you the following week.

All players will be asked to come to next weeks minor or majors clinic and try on a sized shirt and bring with them their top three shirt numbers choices.  These shirts will double as the Layritz team shirts when we play games on the Fridays.  For those who are chosen to play on Sept. 11th we need this for a quick week turnaround and have the shirts ready for this game.

If you have any questions please forward them to me and someone will be sending out information to the families of the rookie minor families shortly to inform them of the minors clinics for the fall as well.

Little League World Series Game Schedule (Boys 11-12)

Historical Results (All Divisions) from Previous Years (back to 2001)

The Layritz Major Girls Softball team lost to Beacon Hill (7-1) in the round-robin after beating the Ontario team earlier in the week.  They then faced the team from Ontario again in the semi-finals and won a decisive victory 16-0.  They now had to face the Beacon Hill team in the final game.  The girls dug deep, worked hard and had smiles all around as they scored the first run and kept the lead ending the game with a 7-3 win.  The Layritz Major Girls will travel to Portland, Oregon for the Little League Softball World Series August 13-18, 2015.

Congratulations to the players and coaches!  Good luck at the World Series.

Congratulations Beacon Hill - The 2015 District 7 11-12 Champion that advances to Vancouver.

Hello Layritz parents. Our park is hosting the 11/12 district All-Star Tournament July 4th to 12th. Hosting tourneys such as this helps keep the registration costs lower for ALL kids in ALL divisions. If you can spare a few hours, we need help in the concession as well as field preparation and 50/50  sales. The parents of the boys on the team would REALLY LOVE your help when Layritz is playing so they can watch their sons do battle, especially for the semis and final.

PLEASE EMAIL CHAD at TournamentHelp@Layritz.ca IF YOU CAN HELP OUT.

The full tournament schedule can be found HERE.
Please also come support our team and watch some great ball:

• Gear bags must be emptied out of all personel items and wiped down
• All gear in the bag must also be wiped down
• Doug Chamberlain, our Equipment Director, will be at the park on these days and time for divisions to return the gear bags
• DO NOT leave them at the Clubhouse on Closing Day.

We are coming to the end of another fabulous season at Layritz Little League.  I want to thank each every Manager and Coach for stepping up and volunteering to coach a team in the park – your efforts are noticed and appreciated!

To further show our appreciation the board will host a Coach’s BBQ on Saturday, June 20^th at ~6:30pm at the Park Clubhouse.
There will also be the opportunity to show off all your ball skills as the coaches play a game or two of their own.

Please feel free to bring a +1 (no kids or pets) and know that the park will be providing food and ask that people bring dessert (or other) items to be shared.

I look forward to seeing you all there as we celebrate the end of the 2015 regular season and show our appreciation for all the hard work and dedication of all our coaches!

Cheers!  Jenna Hiser / President Layritz LL

2015 Softball Assessment Schedule

Wear you ball cleats for this assessment as we will be outdoors on the diamond and the grass and bring your glove, helmet and a water bottle. 

The Umpire Rules Clinic at Pacific Christian Elementary is CANCELLED for Feb 28th; all other dates remain scheduled.

Every year people get tired of being asked if they are in catchment or not and, at times, being asked to prove that they are.  It may seem like a silly small thing but it is a rule that Little League takes very seriously.  In fact, on February 11, 2015, the Little League community was stunned as it was announced that Jackie Robinson West Little League of Chicago, Illinois was being stripped of all international tournament titles won in 2014, including the Little League World Series Championship.

After a lengthy investigation, Little League International determined that the team has used a falsified boundary map to include players on the team that did not reside within the regular boundary.  The adults complicit in this were suspended and while the players are without fault they are the ones who will suffer the most.

Read the entire story here.

During the season we create balanced teams of new and experienced players and work on skills, game play and having fun.  We also provide an opportunity to participate in a more competitive environment with the possibility of travel on a post season Tournament Team.

This year all Softball players living or attending school within the Layritz, Central Saanich or Lakehill Little League Catchment are eligible to register and play at Layritz Little League. (if you do not live in these catchments both Hampton and Beacon Hill Little League also offer softball programs!)

If you do not live in our catchment and wish to register your child at Layritz Little League please review the following to determine eligibility (eligibility rules apply to all levels of Little League play from Tee Ball up):

1)  You have previously lived in our catchment and have completed a Form II(d) ( Form II(d) )to ensure continuing service with our league;

2)  Your child is currently enrolled in a school that is in the Layritz Catchment and you have completed a Little League School Enrollment Form (School Form)and had it signed by either the school Vice Principal or Principal;

3) Softball Only – for the 2015 Season minor – junior softball players who live or attend school in either the Central Saanich or Lakehill Catchments will play Little League Softball out of Layritz Park (if you attend Lambrick Park Softball Academy and it is not your home school you cannot use the Little League School Enrollment Form).  If you have previously played out of another park (ie Lakehill players at Hampton) this will not be allowed for the 2015 season – there is no waiver in this instance as the decision was made by the International Charter Committee.  Girls are eligible to play both Little League Softball and Softball BC programs and Layritz makes every effort to schedule in a manner to allow for this. Senior and Big League Softball will remain District Programs.

Please review the payment details carefully as you may be required to provide more than 1 post-dated cheque per child depending on the level of play. Registration Page

Also, please familiarize yourself with our new refund policy, Refund Policy
