Beyond the Camp
Team BLE takes athletes to Arizona, Las Vegas, and elite showcase events across the continent. Training at professional facilities, competing against top competition, and experiencing baseball at a level most players never see.
The 14th annual showcase at the Colorado Rockies' spring training complex. BLE fields both an Upperclass and Underclass team, competing in front of professional scouts and college recruiters in one of the premier showcase environments in the Southwest.
Athletes travel down early for training and exhibition games before the main event. This is the real thing — professional-grade facilities, top-tier competition, and genuine scouting exposure.
The 36th annual Desert Fall Classic, hosted by West Coast Premier Tournaments. Team BLE enters teams in the 14U through 18U divisions. Athletes arrive early for training on the nostalgic replica fields at Big League Dreams before tournament play begins.
One of the longest-running fall showcase events on the West Coast — and a BLE tradition that gives Canadian athletes competitive experience against top US programs.
Team BLE enters squads into the Best of the West fall tournament series in Kamloops. Three tournament weekends, three age divisions — a chance for athletes to wear the BLE jersey and compete against the best fall ball teams in Western Canada.
How Travel Events Work
Travel events are by invitation. If you're interested, contact Marty directly at (604) 531-9916 or [email protected]. Athletes are selected based on ability, competitive readiness, and coachability.
BLE teams arrive 1–2 days before tournament play for focused training and exhibition games. Athletes get coaching, reps, and time to gel as a team before competition starts.
Salt River Fields (Rockies spring training), Big League Dreams in Las Vegas, MacArthur Island in Kamloops — BLE travel events happen at venues that match the level of competition.
Showcase events put athletes in front of professional scouts and college recruiters. This isn't simulated — it's the real environment that opens doors to the next level.
Travel teams are coached by BLE staff — the same former MLB players, national team coaches, and professional scouts who run the summer camps. Continuity matters.
Spots secured with a non-refundable deposit. Balance due 30 days before event. E-transfer to [email protected] or pay online through the registration portal.
Travel events are invite-only. Contact Marty to discuss your athlete's readiness and which event is the right fit.
