The 10th edition of the B.C. Minor Baseball Coaches Caravan will be stopping in Tsawwassen on April 3, 2020.

Rally Cap/Tadpole will be from 5-6:30 PM and Mosquito/Pee Wee from 6:30-8.

This is always a positive event and a way for players to get some outside skill development from some of the best BC Minor coaches.

Great way to start season!

Congratulations to longtime TABA coach R.J. O’Neil on being awarded 15U A Coach of the Year by B.C. Minor Baseball. The award was presented on the weekend at the 2020 Coaches Conference.

In 2020, R.J. coached the Tsawwassen A’s to the 15U A provincial championship and over the years has coached and mentored Tsawwassen teams from blastball to Bantam. Congratulations R.J. on a well deserved recognition of all the time and effort you contributed to Tsawwassen baseball!

As an expansion to the BC Girls Baseball Development & Instructional program, Baseball BC has started a pre-season development league to help prepare girls for the season ahead. The program is designed for girls ages 6-12, on Thursday evenings from Feb. 13 to Mar. 12 (5 weeks) and serves to develop confidence, skill and resilience prior to joining their Spring & Summer teams, whether it’s a predominantly male team, the BC Girls Baseball Instructional League, etc. The goal of the program is to help girls continue to excel on teams & in leagues with the newfound confidence of knowing that there are other girls that play the same sport that they do.   

As someone who grew up strictly playing “boys” baseball until the age of 12, I know that joining a brand-new male-dominated team every season can be nerve wracking. This program can help calm the nerves of female players by providing a safe space for skill development alongside mentors from the Women’s National Team, and Team BC. It is also an excellent place for curious friends to come try out a new sport! Plus, it’ll be a lot of fun! 

Baseball can be more diverse & inclusive, so please spread the word by posting on you association webpage, social media feeds or other ways that could help.

Here is the link to our girl’s instructional league page for more information!
