About Us

South Vancouver Little League (SVLL) was founded over 65 years ago, in 1956. We are a non-profit, community organization providing opportunities to play baseball for children ages 4 – 12. Operating under the umbrella of Little League International, SVLL holds the charter for the geographic area covering parts of East Vancouver, South Vancouver and South Burnaby.

We are home to one of the most beautiful ballparks in the lower mainland – the Joan and Phil Lake Diamond at South Memorial Park – and proudly host hundreds of games during our regular and fall ball season spanning March to October.

To give children in our league the best opportunity, we rely extensively on community and parent volunteers to create a fun, safe and family-oriented program to over 400 players each year. We rely on our community sponsors to support the operation of the league, upkeep of our facilities along with the development of our players.

We teach our youth the ideals of good sportsmanship, teamwork, respect, hard work, courage and most importantly, giving the gift of creating friendships and a lifetime of memories and for our players.
