Baseball on Bowen has traditionally engaged a lot of local kids but for three years that was not the case.
Short of coaches, little league came to an end on the island.
Now, Michelle Taylor, a little league parent, says that volunteers have stepped up to the plate.
“Coaching isn’t that technical at the lower ages, so it’s easy to coach.”
The league, though part of West Vancouver Little League, trains and plays on island until the athletes get older when some of their time is spent on the mainland.
“We started with one team then built up to three, now we have five,” says Taylor.
In addition, the Winterball training camps through Bowen Parks and Recreation are full as the kids learn how to play or improve their skills. This spring, the kids on Bowen will have a ball once again on the diamond.
