Welcome to Stanley Park Ball
Stanley Park Ball is run by volunteers from the Stanley Park Community Association (SPCA). The SPCA's mission is to promote community activities, encourage outreach, and foster community spirit among residents of all ages.
Your team roster and schedule are now available! You can view them on the RAMP Team app or on the website. If you're viewing online, please ensure your view is set to "All".
Uniforms
Each player will receive a shirt and a hat.
All participants must wear closed-toe shoes (e.g., running shoes)—sandals and flip-flops are not allowed.
The wearing of shorts, bathing suits, and jewelry is discouraged. Long pants are recommended.
Except for Blastball, all batters and baserunners must wear a properly fastened batting helmet.
Pitchers and catchers must wear a helmet with a facemask.
In the T-Ball and 3-Pitch leagues, all infielders must wear face protection (either a fielder’s mask or a helmet with a face mask).
A hired photographer will take team photos this season.
