10U/ 11U 2014-2015
11U Prospects
PGYBA is excited to offer the 11U Prospects program (the “Prospects”) this season with the goal to provide additional develop and support to grow our players wanting to head down the path of playing competitive travel baseball.
The Prospects program will run from March 31 until May 25.
To be eligible for Prospects, all players must be registered for the 2025 house season. Players who wish to join Prospects from associations that do not offer similar programs, must apply through the PGYBA Board, then upon acceptance, must complete a BC Minor Baseball Player Movement Form, and participate in the PGYBA House League.
Prospects teams will be formed in early Spring. There will be an additional cost of $100 per player to participate in the Prospect program. These fees will cover additional field/facility fees, equipment fees, jerseys, and umpire fees. There will be additional travel and tournament costs, if you choose to attend an out of town games or tournament.
All Prospects, Selects, and Knights are expected to participate in the fundraising opportunities provided by PGYBA. With funds covering coaches travel, affiliation fees, insurance and provincial’s registration fees for the Knights teams.
While all players in the 11U house division are welcome to register for Prospects, the program is geared towards developing those players who want to become our future Knights and play travel baseball at a competitive level and are interested in possibly traveling during the summer ball season. Registration in the Prospects program guarantees that your player can attend the weekly practice(s). However, it does not guarantee that every athlete will be selected to play in all games or tournaments, or in the summer travel season.
The head coach and assistant coaches, with approval from the PGYBA board, will select teams of 12 to 15 players for each game and each tournament from a list of interested players.
Depending on the number of players registered PGYBA will be creating equal teams to play in Prospects. Our goal is to have at least two teams. The Prospects will aim to have practices to work on skills development two times per a week, with the goal to add inter-squad games once fields are ready. The program also hopes to attend at least one tournament weekend or a weekend of exhibition games in the Prospects season. Please note, we currently do not have any out of town travel events scheduled.
Prospects Tentative Schedule:
Tuesdays 4:30-5:45pm at the Prince George Senior Secondary School Gym/Batting Cage
Thursdays 5:00-7:00pm at location TBD
These games and practices are in addition to regular house commitments. All Prospect players MUST participate in their house team schedule as well as fulfill their commitment to the Prospects. Spring League is the priority, as per BCMBA Rule 9.01, to be eligible for summer ball, an athlete must have participated in at least 80% of their team’s games in the Spring League.
Coach selection will be completed by the PGYBA board.
There will be evaluations for the Summer Team May 31 – June 2, where we will select a 11UAA, and a 10UA, (and potentially 11UA) team to play summer baseball and attend the provincials. Participation in Prospects does not guarantee you a spot on the Summer Team and all players are welcome to attend evaluations whether they played Prospects or not. Participation in Prospects is not a requirement to be eligible to try out for a Summer Team.
Please note, upon selection to the Summer Team there will be an additional $200 registration fee and $150 uniform deposit. The uniform deposit will be returned to you upon returning the full uniform in clean condition. These fees will cover additional field/facility fees, equipment, jerseys, umpire fees, summer season affiliation, and attendance at Provincials. There will be additional travel and tournament costs.
Summer Season runs from mid June until mid August with the following potential travel commitments depending on team designation, please note further tournaments or exhibition games may be added to the summer season schedule:
10U
Valley of Champions July 11-13 Kelowna –currently waitlisted
Provincials July 31-Aug 4 TBD
11UAA/AAA

All players whether selected to a team, attending a game/practice or tournament are our future Knights. All players will be:
- Given equal opportunities, equal instruction, and equal support to develop and improve their skills. This includes feedback throughout the season.
- Given the opportunity to play various positions, both infield and outfield, at practice and during games/tournaments.
- Supported and encouraged to gain confidence both on and off the field. Players should never be pulled off the field mid-inning due to an error in play or spoken to in an inappropriate manner (yelling, swearing, etc).
- Given the opportunity to develop their skills during games. In divisions without fair play rules, coaches will continue to look for opportunities for all players to gain experience during games, both offensively and defensively. No player should spend their season on the bench.
The PGYBA Board is looking forward to the upcoming season and our excited about the Prospects program. Although the season will look a little different then what we are all used to seeing, we are confident in our coaching choices and on our mutual commitment to developing and building our Knights teams.
