PeeWee 2010 Season Overview

Welcome to another exciting season of PeeWee baseball in Port Coquitlam. The PeeWee division is open to all players under 13 as of December 31st.. This means players born in 1997 or 1998 for the 2010 season. Within PeeWee, there are two divisions during regular season play. These are the House or "A" division and the competitive "AA" division. The regular season begins in March and will go through to the end of June. All players are eligible to play in the "A" or House level division. New players are also welcome. Try-outs are held for the "AA" team and the team is selected from the interested players. For the "A" level or House, a series of workout dates are held to allow each player's skills to be assessed. Our goal is to create "A" level teams of relatively the same skill level in order to have games that are balanced. It is important that "A" level players attend these fun workouts so that they can dust off their baseball skills and be ready for the season.

Season Play

The "A" or House level features inter-locking games with teams from Coquitlam Minor Baseball as well as games against the other Port Coquitlam "A" level House teams. Practices and games will be held on any day of the week or weekend. There are no "set" days.

During the season, all house level "A" teams will play in the Walter Bird tournament. All teams will also participate in a double knockout format playoff at the end of the season. The winner of the playoffs will receive a team trophy that they get to keep until the next ball season. The winner will also play in the Challenge Cup. The Challenge Cup is held each year and features the winner from the Port Coquitlam play-offs playing a game against the winner of the Coquitlam play-offs. The winner gets to retain the cup until the game is played the following season. We are happy to report that the Challenge Cup currently resides with Coquitlam.

The "AA" or competitive level of play will feature games against other "AA" teams from the surrounding associations ranging from Delta to Chilliwack. It is anticipated that there will be a game or practice at least four times a week.

Summer Ball

The second part of the season is summer or All-Star ball. The summer season runs from July through to the end of August. The number of teams that are fielded depends on the level of interest from the players. There is summer ball play at the "AAA", "AA" and "A" levels. The summer season is short but is very active with games and practices. It also is the best time to be playing ball since the weather is terrific.

Depending on the team's results, the AAA team can advance to the provincials to compete against the top teams in the province and then to the Westerns. The Westerns feature the top teams from the Western provinces. The "A" and "AA" team has the opportunity to advance to the provincials and play against the top teams in BC.

We will be canvassing for interested players for summer ball around the mid-point of the regular season.
