The Victoria Mariners Baseball Club is pleased to announce that it will be the first baseball organization in the city to join an elite league of bantam level baseball teams in the British Columbia Premier League (BCPBL)! The BCPBL has created a third high performance baseball league that will allow athletes in the Bantam (age 13-14) group to train and compete with the very best in the province.
Like the BCPBL and BCJPBL before it, the Bantam Premier or "Prep" League will be home to a number of high performance teams both on Vancouver Island and on the mainland. Athletes will enjoy the same level of experienced coaching, player development, and competition at the Bantam Premier level that they would at both the Junior Premier and Premier levels. The PBL will oversee regular season scheduling and have recently announce that the Bantam Premier League will hold its own Provincial Championships starting in 2016!
Playing as a team member in the Bantam Premier League is a way to ensure athletes are prepared with both the confidence and appropriate skill set to ensure success and make the leap to the Junior Premier and Premier levels. A step above the bantam AAA league, the Bantam Premier League is designed for athletes who are committed to their sport and have a strong desire to play high performance baseball for the remainder of their high school years.
