As for the 13U & 21U Junior ID Camps we will have these posted as soon as they have been scheduled.

Baseball Sask is currently looking to find interested communities to host some of our Provincial Championships.
It is preferred that a host has 2 available diamonds as we try to make 8-Team Championships.
We provide grants to all hosts to help offset expenses so this should be a revenue generating event for your local baseball club.
The Mosquito Provincial Championships are still population based Championships.
However, as we did last year, we will once again be ranking teams in Pee Wee, Bantam, Midget, Junior and Senior. The Division Supervisors will be ranking teams entered in Provincials based on tournament results and league games. Therefore, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that teams forward ALL tournament game results to the Division Supervisor as those games tend to be more win-based than league games which are more development-based.
We are able to award Host Sites for the AAA Championships immediately, however, we cannot do that for AA Tier 1, AA Tier 2, AA Tier 3, AA Tier 4 or AA Tier 5. The reason for this is because we will not be ranking teams until June.
Communities can still bid on a championship immediately though which we would prefer, and we can let you know you will be hosting a championship, however, what category it will be is to be determined.
For more information, please contact Mike Ramage or see below to fill out a Bid to Host:
List of Provincial Championships still needing Hosts
NOTE:
In Pee Wee, Regina and Tisdale have been awarded Championships TBD
In Bantam, Regina has been awarded a Championship TBD
