Ahead of the 2022 Think Again Little League State Championships in April, Baseball WA has advised charters that players who try out for charter teams but are not selected will likely have the opportunity to fill spots on the WA Country teams participating in the State Champs.
Whilst this will mean that the teams will not be eligible to travel to nationals, it does provide the old "Tiger Academy" experience for players and makes them eligible for West Coast Rays selection, which you can read more about HERE. Charters with players wanting to be considered for the WA Country teams should email their details to BWA Development Officer Glen Tovey do@baseballwa.asn.au as soon as possible. For any other info, please email Glen directly. Photo: Deb's Photos
