The Parksville Royals Baseball Club is a registered non-profit society that provides youth in our community with the opportunity to have fun playing baseball while competing at the highest level. The Royals are run by a volunteer executive board striving to enhance the quality of life in the community through youth sports. The program offers three teams: Senior & Junior for grades 10-12, and Bantam for grades 8 & 9.
The Parksville Royals have become an institution in the North Island over the course of their 27 year history. A founding member of the internationally famous BC Premier Baseball League, the Parksville Royals provide an opportunity for youth aged 13-17 to excel at their chosen sport as well as learn sportsmanship & fair play.
In 2021, four of the five graduating players went on to realize their dream of playing college baseball. In fact, over the course of the team’s history, no fewer than 92 players have used the Parksville Royals as their platform to professional and college baseball. From Springwood Park to the Major Leagues and places in between, the Royals organization is proud to help Island youth achieve their baseball goals & dreams.
