As an act to strengthen their position on repaying the community, the Victoria Mariners Baseball Club recently became a member of True Sport.
True Sport is a Canadian led initiative that provides organizations with resources and a platform of shared values and principles. In 2024 the club started the Community Give Back Program which sees out players and coaches follow through with the True Sport principle of making a difference in the community.
The Victoria Mariners would like to thank Peninsula Baseball Softball Associations, Baseball BC, Anthony Pluta, and Charlie Strandlund for the opportunities to volunteer and make memories and new friendships.

For coaches, the CAC advocates for professional and ethical standards at every level of sport in Canada and helps them achieve the highest designation of Chartered Professional Coach (ChPC). For parents, the CAC and its partners establish educational and ethical standards for sport organizations that help create a safe and respectful environment for participants and coaches.
