2006 Bantam AAA All-Star Information
Bantam 2006 Assessments Set to Begin!
Bantam AAA tryouts will be held at Layritz Park, Saturdays and Sundays starting October 1-2, and then on October 8-9 and October 15-16.
- Players born in '92 will tryout for the Bears at 12:30 am on Saturdays and 3:00 on Sundays.
- Players born in '91 will tryout for the Vipers at 10:00 on Saturdays and 10:00 on Sundays.
Players will be expected to attend one or two of the first weekend sessions (Saturday or Sunday, October 1, 2 ) and at least three sessions total. A parent or guardian will need to attend to sign the registration form and a $20 tryout fee will be collected at that time.
The Bears and Vipers are competitive teams selected from the most highly skilled players in the Greater Victoria area. Players selected for these teams will begin weekly, two hour indoor practices Sunday afternoons early in January and move outside in March. Each team will have a schedule of approximately 60 games (possibly a bit fewer for the Bears). The cost to participation on these teams is approximately $1800-$2200 (including uniform, equipment, travel, etc.) before fundraising.

Bantam AAA Teams Appoint Managers for 2006
Season
GVMBA is pleased to announce their managers for the
Bantam AAA Bears and Vipers for the 2006 season. After a very
successful performance as a coach with the 2005 Bantam AAA Bears, Ken
Lamberton will head up the 2006 Bantam AAA Vipers. The 2006
Bantam AAA Bears will be led by Dean Norris-Jones, who most recently was
an assistant coach on the 2005 Pee Wee AAA Wildcats. Both men have
excellent baseball credentials and GVMBA is pleased to have them onboard
for 2006.
The Bantam AAA program and the Bears & Vipers
For the 2006 season Greater Victoria Minor Baseball
Association will again field two Bantam AAA teams, as required by BC Minor
rules. The Bantam AAA Vipers will be a 14s team (as of December 31, 2005). The
Bantam AAA Bears will be a 13s team (as of December 31, 2005).
The Vipers (born in 1991) will play in the full Bantam AAA interlock schedule (April through July) with Upper Island, Lower Mainland and Interior teams. In early August 2005, the Vipers will compete in “Tier 1” of the Bantam AAA Provincials (leading to the National Championships).
The Bears will be a team of highly skilled, competitive and committed players from across greater Victoria. They will be all first year Bantam players --- born in 1992.
The Bears will play in Greater Victoria's Bantam AA Spring League for the months of April, May and June. As well as having additional practices, the Bears will also supplement their schedule with extra exhibition games and tournament play through the spring and the month of July.
The Bears will compete in Tier 2 of the Bantam AAA Provincials in early August with a berth in the Western Canadian Championships up for grabs. The commitment with respect to cost for the Bears players & parents will be less than for the Vipers as the Bears will not be playing in the Bantam AAA spring interlock schedule, that requires full travel.
The 2006 season for Bantam AAA baseball will start soon:
- Tryouts from mid September to mid October with preliminary rosters chosen by the end of October.
- A parents & players meeting by the end of October.
- Winter indoor training --- at Oak Bay Recreation Centre from mid January through the end of February (more details later)
- Final rosters chosen by early March.
