"We are also working to offer some indoor workouts mid-week in the Courtenay Campbell River area. We will let you know if and when we get that organized."
These workouts are also open to any Grades 8 and 9 players who are contemplating trying out for the Bantam AAA team scheduled to play in the BC Bantam League in 2012.

The emphasis with these workouts will throwing, hitting and fielding combined with some conditioning and agility drills to get players ready for outside workouts starting in March.
