The Nanaimo Pirates are looking for the region’s best ball players as they plan to set sail for the 2016 season.
The team is holding tryouts this coming weekend (Feb. 20-21) as it prepares for the B.C. Premier Baseball League season. The tryouts are open to all bantam and midget players born from 1998 to 2001.
“There are huge benefits in getting to the PBL as early as possible, so you can be seen by other coaches, many of whom are either the coaches or selection members for the provincial select teams,” noted a Pirates press release.
Saturday’s tryouts will be at Serauxmen Stadium from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., rain or shine. Sunday’s tryouts are from 1-4 p.m. starting at the stadium, but could be moved to Beban Park’s Centennial Building, depending on the weather.
Players are asked to show up 15 minutes early to tryouts wearing baseball attire.
