2006 Baseball Season

2006 Baseball Season

January 6, 2006

President's message: Chilliwack Minor Baseball Association
was established in the 1940's as a service to the Youth of
Chilliwack. During it's 65 year service to the community,
baseball has continued to prepare the youth of Chilliwack
for their future careers by instilling leadership
qualities, a strong sense of teamwork and also ensuring
youth build a strong sense of self-confidence.

Since it's inception, it had provided youth the opportunity
to create lifelong friendships and foster sportsmanship in
a team environment. Baseball has also provided youth with
opportunities to develop mentoring skills such as role
modeling younger teams (umpiring program), individual skill
development clinics, team building clinics and also
advanced all-star clinics.

Baseball is a sport that is unique in its opportunity to
enable youth in individual growth and success while
operating in a team environment. Each year Chilliwack
Minor Baseball has approximately 450 youth participating in
the association ranging in age from 5 to 18 years of age.

Coaching development is critical to the success of the
Association. Each year, Chilliwack Minor Baseball offers
the opportunity for present and future coaches within the
local area to receive certification with the National
Coaches Certification Program at no cost. This ensures the
youth are afforded every opportunity for growth both within
the sport and in life by providing youth with certified and
dedicated mentors. It takes over 60 volunteer coaches per
season to enrich the lives of youth.

Volunteers are also an integral component to the Chilliwack
Minor Baseball Association. Whether it is a menber of the
Executive, organizers for a baseball tournament, or
managing a team, volunteers are critical to the success of
the Association.

In 2003, Chilliwack Minor Baseball was voted Association of
the year by Baseball B.C. for its ttremendous contribution
to the youth within the Chilliwack Community. The
Association has also supported the international community
by providing used equipment to under-privileged youth in
the Dominican Republic. Each year Chilliwack Minor
Baseball coordinates a trip to a Seattle Mariners Baseball
game. Last season (2004) over 300 local area parents and
youth took advantage of this opportunity.

Good luck to all in the upcoming season and for further
