NORTH DELTA, BC — December 13, 2025

The North Delta Pirates Baseball 18U AAA team is now accepting expressions of interest from dedicated, high-performance athletes for the 2026 season.

With a strong core of returning players and a track record of competitive success, the North Delta Pirates are looking to add a select number of skilled players – including athletes from outside the North Delta jurisdiction – who are ready to compete and develop at the 18U AAA level.

Head Coach Jeff Stebbings, supported by an experienced and committed coaching and administrative staff, invites motivated players to pursue a roster spot in a program built on accountability, preparation, and a team-first mindset.

“Our mission is to create an environment where players are challenged, supported, and expected to compete at a high level,” says Head Coach Jeff Stebbings. “We have an excellent core returning and are looking for players who are eager to push themselves, elevate those around them, and contribute to a winning culture.

The North Delta Pirates are currently engaged in off-season development and winter training, with official tryouts for the 2026 roster scheduled for January 15th and 22nd at the Ladner Minor Baseball Training Facility – The Barn. Interested players are encouraged to contact the coaching and administrative staff early to request a tryout opportunity and learn more about the program. There is a $40 fee to try out.

About the North Delta Pirates

Through the first two seasons of North Delta Pirates 18U AAA baseball, the program has compiled an impressive 56–19–1 record, signaling a successful and historic return to high-performance midget-level baseball within the North Delta Baseball Association.

Founded on the principles of excellence, teamwork, and personal growth, the Pirates are committed to providing a highly competitive, development and community-focused environment for athletes who are serious about advancing their baseball careers and embracing a team-first philosophy—both on and off the field.
