On Wednesday, May 15 at B.C. Place Stadium in Vancouver, legendary multisport female athlete Amanda Asay will be posthumously inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame for her accomplishments in baseball. Asay, who died two years ago in a skiing accident near Nelson, became a member of the Prince George Sports Hall of Fame at the latest induction ceremony in April. Whether it was on the ball diamond, at the hockey rink or in the classroom, Amanda Asay gave it everything she had. It's truly heartening to see Amanda Asay's legacy honored in such a meaningful way. Her achievements in baseball and her impact as a mentor for young girls resonate deeply, showcasing her dedication not only to sports excellence but also to fostering inclusivity and empowerment. It's a testament to her character and the lasting impression she left on those she encountered. A beloved friend, a real pioneer & encouraging mentor for young girls in the truest sense. May her memory continue to inspire future generations of athletes. For more about Amanda, see below...

Info: Join Baseball BC and BC Girls Baseball at the 3rd Annual Amanda Asay Jamboree! Celebrating girls' baseball and bringing everyone together were two things that our baseball friend Amanda did very well. The purpose of this Jamboree is to continue that legacy and provide a space for young women and girls to thrive. While associations all over British Columbia work hard to grow the game, we hope to provide an opportunity for girls involved in those programs to come together for a fun jamboree-style tournament. Each team is guaranteed two 1-hour games that are tailored to the needs of the athletes. Players need a tee? We've got it. Some ready to throw gas from the mound? We're ready for it! Please note: If you have any players with all-star, selects, post-season, summer ball (or similar) experience, please move them up to participate in the 12U division.
Have an all-girls team ready to register? A couple of things to note. Our age groups are 8U, 10U, and 12U, which may be different from some leagues you play in. Please keep this in mind when you are forming your teams and be sure to register for the correct division! Each team registration will include 12 Amanda Asay Jamboree t-shirts, but your roster can be larger. Please provide t-shirt sizes in registration for 12 athletes. Any additional t-shirts requested will be $25 each.
