Attention all prospective Pee Wee AA players currently registered with Newton or Surrey Canadian baseball: We will be holding open tryouts in conjunction with our winter clinics currently being held. Please come out only if you are interested in trying out for the AA team. 

A high level of commitment will be expected  for players on this team, including fitness training, multiple practices and 1-3 games per week depending on our final schedule. There will also be 1-2 local travel tournaments over the course of the Spring season that may result in some additional costs beyond registration. Typically this amounts to around $50 per player per tournament. 

There will be no cost to attend the tryouts, however. Interested candidates not currently enrolled in the Pee Wee AA winter clinic are invited to come out to two of these four sessions, please:

Tuesday 2/19 from 7-9 at Kinvig Elementary gym.  

Thursday 2/21 from 5-7 at the Lionel Courchene batting cage. 

Tuesday 2/26 from 7-9 at Kinvig Elementary gym.  

Thursday 2/28 from 5-7 at the Lionel Courchene batting cage. 

One gym session and one batting cage session will be required for consideration. Please let us know of your preference when confirming to: Newtonpeewee@gmail.com

Based on response times and number of participants, you may or may not be asked to attend an alternate session. 

Thank you,

Coach Dave and Coach Jeff

Newton and Surrey Canadians will be continuing their very successful merged rep program at the Bantam level. It is our intention to field both a AAA and AA program following on from the Silver medal performance at AA last year at the Bantam level and Gold at the PeeWee Provincials.

For AAA, under the new guidelines developed by BC minor all players from any association are welcome to come and workout with us and compete for a spot on what will be a very competitive program with vastly experienced coaching staff with a combined 50 years experience. Regardless of prior Association or whether Little League or PBL, all 2004 & 2005 born players are welcome to come and workout.

For AA, please also come out and join us for our combined winter clinics.  The catchment rules for AA are consistent with prior years and out of catchment players will require a release from their home associations.

Registration will be only $900 for the single season AAA running April through to Baseball BC's Provincials and Nationals in early August. There will be some travel to the Okanagan and the Island to find appropriate levels of competition. It is of course a wood bat league and 9 man ball and it is our intention to run a short, 12 man bench to maximize individual playing time and development.

The AA division is expected to have less travel and the fees for this division will be determined shortly. 

Players wishing to participate should email their interest to president@newtonbaseball.com and can come and join the workouts each Thursday evening at 7pm at MB Sanford School gym (near 144th & 72nd Ave in Surrey).

We are excited to announce that the Newton Canadian U11 Mosquito Division player assessments will be held on Tuesday March 12th at MB Sanford Elementary School 7:00pm-8:45pm.  The reason for player assessments is to allow coaches to see as many players as possible before the Mosquito team draft which will allow for well balanced teams and also for the athletes to have a chance to rub elbows and have some fun before the spring season starts!

Please send your athlete with their full gear (glove, bat if they have it and definitely personal protection - baseball helmet and jock or jill).  Since the assessment will be held indoors, please wear loose comfortable athletic wear and also runners (not cleats).

Please note that all athletes that participate in the Mosquito Assessment will need to already be registered with Newton Baseball for the 2019 Spring season.

If you are interested in coaching this year please send an email to mosquito@newtonbaseball.com and I will be in contact with you.

We are looking forward to a fantastic season in Mosquito with you all!

Respectfully,

Tom Janovsky

Our Pee Wee AA Winter Clinics will be starting next week on Tuesday, January 22nd from 7-9 PM at the Kinvig Elementary gymnasium. These weekly sessions will be for any Newton or Surrey Canadian catchment players who are interested in playing for the combined AA Pee Wee team this spring. 

We will have 8 sessions from January 22nd to March 12th, prior to spring break. January and February will be open sessions with official tryouts towards the end of February and early March. We will aim to have the team selected and some practices before spring break.

These sessions will be highly physical, so we recommend players eat accordingly and well enough in advance for best results. In the meantime, start warming up those arms! You can have some light tosses with a buddy, but make sure you adequately warm up firs and take it easy.

Coaches Dave Ouellette and Jeff Vaughan will be coordinating and would welcome any help from parents from time to time or as needed during these sessions.

Please direct any questions to our Pee Wee Coordinator

Surrey / Newton will be putting together a competitive Rep Bantam U15 AA and/or AAA program again this coming season.

The objective is to put a competitive winter training program together that will include both player and team development and set players up to compete at the U15 rep level.

The program will commence on Thursday November 8th at 7pm at MB Sanford School Gymnasium with an Academy running each subsequent Thursday, with a break for the Christmas holidays, through to when we can get outside for Spring training.  We will also utilize the batting cage at Lionel Courchene for pitching clinics.

We recognize that many athletes are involved in other sports at this time of year and intend to encourage and accommodate that in our pricing and schedule. Registration for the winter clinic is only $75 and is open now, click here to register.

If you are interested in rep baseball but your schedule won’t allow your participation please contact Ben Dias

Congratulations to our Surrey Newton PeeWee AA team on their dramatic win at the BC provincials yesterday. As Provincial Champions they are representing us as Team BC at a major tournament in San Diego. 

 

We’ve also set up an account with the Return-it Depots so if you or your neighbours have empties to return, or frankly anything to recycle ♻️ simply drop them off at any of their locations in a clear plastic bag and quote our account number E019207. 

We’ll be practicing at Unwin's Bantam diamond #1 on Tuesday evening if it’s easier to drop your bottles at the field between 6&8.

Or, one last option if you'd just really like to help us out you can donate something to our Go Fund Me Page and share it with your friends on Facebook.

Thanks so much for you support and good luck to the kids this coming weekend, I know you'll do us proud!
