Due to the rain and condition of the fields, the baseball training sessions scheduled for Friday, July 3, 2020 and Saturday, July 4, 2020 have been cancelled.
Despite the forecast of sunshine tomorrow, the fields need time to dry before they are usable.
We are asking for volunteers to please come to Memorial Park West on Saturday, July 4th from 12PM-3PM and Sunday, July 5th from 10AM-1PM to help get the fields in workable order for our players
We have added locks (recognizing that people could still hop the fence) to our Majors diamond and increased the signage letting people know that the field use is for Dunbar Little League ONLY. We hope this will deter any future use by unknown individuals as the damage from July 1st to our diamond is quite extensive.
2020 Summer Season
DLL is excited to be able to provide baseball for some of our players for the month of July!
Summer Baseball will be provided to players in Majors, Minor A (Sr. & Jr.) and Minor B Sr. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide programming for Minor B Jr. or T-Ball at this time. If that changes, we will update everyone.

In building the Return To Play programming we had to ensure we followed the guidelines and protocols outlined by viaSport (the governing body authorized by the Provincial Health Officer (PHO) to approve return to play plans (RTP) and Baseball BC (who established the general RTP for baseball in the province to be approved by viaSport).
More information, guidelines, forms, and links can be found on the 2020 Summer Baseball page.

Cancellation of Dunbar Little League’s 2020 Spring Baseball Season
Thank you for your patience during these unprecedented times. We hope you and your families are coping well and staying healthy as we all adjust to this pandemic reality.
It is with profound disappointment that the DLL Board of Directors is announcing the cancellation of our spring baseball season.
We have been monitoring the COVID-19 situation carefully and have maintained constant discussions with all relevant parties. At certain times over the past month, it looked as though baseball would be feasible given the comments from Provincial Health authorities and politicians. However, as we are all becoming accustomed to, the situation is fluid and ever evolving. Provincial governing bodies still have yet to provide return-to-play protocols and the City of Vancouver has not provided permits to sports groups, nor has either given timelines for such permissions. Little League International, for the first time in history, has cancelled the Little League World Series which was followed by the decision of Little League Canada to cancel Canadian nationals and all provincial level tournaments. After thorough consideration, consultation, and in full agreement with the rest of the District 1 leagues (Dunbar, Jericho, Kerrisdale, Little Mountain), we have determined the timeline that would allow us to facilitate a spring baseball season would not be viable.
Please complete the form (see link below) for information on refunds, donations, and potential summer baseball information. In order to process requests quickly, we will only act on the information from completing the form. Please complete by May 28, 2020:

COVID-19: DLL Updates
We are all aware of the situation with COVID-19 which is making plans uncertain for sports leagues and community groups across the province. The local health authorities have asked that everyone limit larger social gatherings, parades and extra-curricular activities. This would, of course, include Dunbar Little League's games and practices should these recommendations still be in effect when the season is scheduled to start on April 18th. Although this is the current recommendation, it that may change over the next three weeks.
