Baseball BC is pleased to release a comprehensive package with information related to our 2017 Provincial Championships.
Full Provincial Championships Entry Package
The Langley Secondary Baseball Academy is a unique program in which diverse students train together with the common purpose of improving their individual and team skills in baseball. The program is open to all students at all skill levels and the focus is on individual skill and team tactical development.
An exciting opportunity for female baseball players presents itself through the hard work of the provincial 14U girls' head coach Stacy Fournier and Little Mountain Little League mom Kristy Watson. In partnership with The Ball Yard at Sports Central, they bring you the Dream Big Celebration featuring BC’s finest provincial and national team players. Sponsored by Baseball BC, this female baseball showcase will feature athletes that started playing baseball in youth baseball associations just like yours and are now competing at the highest levels. Inspiration is the greatest way to garner interest, and that is exactly what we hope to accomplish through this event for the baseball youth. It is time for young female players to Dream Big in Baseball and to realize that there’s nothing holding them back. So, come out and see these women in action on Saturday, February 18th from 10am to 12pm at 2611 Viscount Way in Richmond. After the showcase portion of the day, the audience may also get to try their hand at some baseball skills. Baseball BC will be in attendance as well to provide Female High Performance Program information, so whether you’ve played baseball all your life or are new to the game, we hope to see you there!

Baseball BC is pleased to announce that Phil Bourgeois will be joining the association in the role of Communications Coordinator
Phil will begin effective today and will focus on advancing our communication abilities with members and participants from all over the province of BC. Our goal is to increase our footprint from a communications standpoint to allow us to better reach the end users in the sport of baseball provincially.
"Baseball BC is very excited to have Phil accept this role and we look forward to his contribution and energy", says Baseball BC Executive Director David Laing. "communication is so very important in today's fast paced world and we believe that Phil will allow us to further share our programming and sport development initiatives with the people that will benefit the most from them."
"I'm very excited about taking on this challenge." says Phil "Growing the footprint of the sport in all aspects is a responsibility we all share, regardless of personal affiliation. Baseball BC, along with its member groups and sponsors, have all sorts of beneficial resources and programming for people to take advantage of. We need to find ways to get that information into the hands of people who can make use of them."
Phil played his youth baseball in the Vancouver Community and PBL programs before suffering a shoulder injury which prematurely ended his playing days. Since that time, Phil has joined the officiating ranks and is part of the Baseball Canada National Umpire program as a high-performing official.
Off the field, in addition to his newfound role at Baseball BC, Phil also serves on the BCBUA and PCBUA executives.
This is a special year for the McDonald’s Challenger Celebrity Golf Classic as we move towards a major milestone in fund raising. After 16 years, we are on the verge of passing the One Million Dollar mark this year which is such a special moment for us after all these years. Currently we have raised over $940,000 for various children’s charities in BC while creating “A Million Memories” for the kids.
The University of British Columbia varsity baseball program (UBC Baseball) will begin a Junior Varsity baseball program in September of 2017. The success of the UBC Baseball varsity team, their outstanding coaching staff, and new state of the art facilities has created a high demand from many of Canada’s top student-athlete baseball players to attend UBC.
