Coquitlam A's

Coquitlam Little League is part of District 3, Little League British Columbia. Along with Whalley, White Rock, Langely, and North Langley it is easily understood why D3 has long been considered one of the hottest and most competitive districts in all of Canada. Despite this, Coquitlam Little Leaguers have proven that our program develops players that perform and excel both on and off the field at every age level.

As the regular season in Coquitlam winds down, post-season Managers have been announced, and tryouts are just around the corner! A reminder to all players, these times are the START times of tryouts. Please arrive 10 or 15min before in order to get your cleats on and get all the chit-chat out of your system. Tryouts are the time to make an impression on your coaches, so be on time, show some hustle on the field, and bring a positive attitude.

2009 was crazy and exciting and definitely a year to remember for the A's. Both Mackin Yard and Blue Mountain were a flurry of activity and as early as June 15th our Little Leaguers began preparing themselves for post-season action. The Major A's were prepping to host their Provincial Tournament at the Yard, Junior A's were getting ready for their Districts, the Seniors A's were ready to host and compete for the Provincial Title, and our Big Leaguers were gearing up for another trip to Nationals!!

Overall we were crowned Junior Provincial Champions, Senior Provincial Champions, and Big League Provincial Champions... leading to a repeat Junior National Title!!!

2008 can be written as one of the best in CLL history as our league raised the bar for National Tournament play. The Junior Nationals were hosted by Coquitlam giving us a birth as the host team to compete against the best Canada had to offer. Teams from Whalley, Medicine Hat, Port Arthur, Notre-Dame-de-Grace, and Glace Bay converged at Blue Mountain to compete for the National title, and Coquitlam emerged victorious! From the volunteers to the umpires, players tents to team banquets, gear sales to concession sales... Blue Mountain Park was wired to record every moment of the tournament, and we are proud to say we won!
