Softball Canada to Host Provincial ID Camps

 

(Ottawa) – Softball Canada in association with its member provincial
and territorial associations will be hosting provincial ID camps
for the selection of the Junior Men's National Team.

 

The series of ID camps are open to male softball or baseball
players age 19 or under prior to December 31st, 2008 (born in
1989 or later).  The camps, which are designed to evaluate and
appraise talent in the preparation for the 2008 Junior Men's
World Championships, will be held in British Columbia (July 1st
– Tentative), Alberta (Tentative for June), Saskatchewan (July
29th and 30th – Includes Manitoba), Quebec (June 9th), Nova Scotia
(July 9th – Includes New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island)
and Newfoundland (to be determined).  

 

All men born between the years of 1989 and 1991 are encouraged
to participate in these camps.  Candidates who showcase exemplary
skills, talent, focus and energy will be invited to participate
in a final selection camp in 2007 to be considered to participate
in the 2008 Junior Men's World Championships representing Canada.

 

Leading the camps and the evaluation process will be the Junior
National Team coaching staff with the assistance of local area
coaches.  The ID camps will focus on identifying speed, throwing
and catching ability, hitting and fielding skills, base running
and general fitness testing.

(www.softball.ca) and complete the registration form.  Return
the completed registration form and the entry fee of $50.00 to
Softball Canada, care of Ron Gallinger, Program Director, National
