BMSA puts in bid to host U-14 Fastpitch Championships
The Battlefords Minor Softball Association (BMSA) placed a bid this week to host the 2017 U-14 Western Canadian Fastpitch Championships.
Each year, a different Western Canadian province hosts the tournament and next year is Saskatchewan’s turn. The latest possible date for the BMSA to find out if they are successful would be December 15, but it’s likely the announcement will come in November.
“The bid is pretty simple,” BMSA executive Chris Belanger said. “We show what we have for ball diamonds. It will be at the Battleford Flats if we do. That’s one of the nicest ball diamonds. We’ve got four good diamonds down there that are regulation for fastball.
“And you have to show that you have enough hotels, rooms and campgrounds to house that many people for the weekend.”
