Craig Campbell, Executive Director of Rangers Reach, is shown presenting a cheque for $2,250 to Ken Mielke (a Stanley Park Optimist Ball Supervisor) and Rick Waud (Treasurer of The Optimist Club of Stanley Park). The funds were used to purchase infielder masks for the Club's Senior T-Ball Program which were put into service for the 2023 season and much appreciated by the participants. Thanks to Rangers Reach and all those who purchased 50/50 tickets at the Kitchener Rangers and KW Titans home games at the Aud. (August 11, 2023)
Welcome to The Optimist Club of Stanley Park's website! This website gives us the ability to communicate better with everyone in the organization and, more significantly, all our ball teams and participants in our Ball Program. Effective as of our 2023 season, we have contracted with Ramp International for each team to have the mobile TEAM APP. We hope you'll be as excited as we are over the upcoming season and utilize our site and the TEAM APP to keep informed about your team and in contact with your team-mates. As always, your contributions - photos, articles, news, etc. are all welcome and solicited. Work with your team's representatives: coaches & web-admin volunteers to keep in touch and record some history. Let's make our 2024 season an enjoyable one for everyone!
Since the mid-70s, there has been T-Ball in Stanley Park (except during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and, unfortunately, 2021). Since taking over the responsibility for running it, it's been one of The Optimist Club of Stanley Park's major programs --- and still is! Our Ball Program has branched out to our current offering which includes Blastball, two levels of T-Ball and two levels of 3-Pitch. Each league is based on age with an overlapping year at the upper & lower ends of the age bracket to accommodate players of different skill levels, interest, maturity, etc. All play is all-inclusive ("co-ed") at the recreational level.
Information on each league is available on this website: Blastball Junior T-Ball Senior T-Ball Junior 3-Pitch Senior 3-Pitch
There are also numerous articles and tips for players, parents, coaches and officials.
