According to Little League rules, players must reside OR attend a school located within our specified league catchment area in order to be eligible to play baseball at Hastings Community Little League. Hastings Community Little League holds the charter for a geographic area that covers parts of East Vancouver and North Burnaby.

A player will be deemed to reside within the league boundaries if:
a) his/her parents are living together and are residing within such league boundaries or either of the player’s parents (or his/her court-appointed legal guardian) resides within such boundaries. "Residence," "reside" and "residing" refers to a place of bona fide continuous habitation.
-OR-
b) the player attends a school within HCLL's league boundaries.
