The first edition of the Youth Baseball Championship!

We are thrilled to announce the first edition of the national Youth Baseball Championship.

The Championship will take place in October, spread over two days, the 7th and 8th, in a location that still needs to be confirmed. Baseball Softball Vlaanderen is allowing club applications for the honors of hosting the event up until September 4th. After this deadline the hosting club will be announced.

This playoff tournament will showcase the skill and determination of the Baseball U12 and U15 players from all over Belgium. A total of 16 teams, comprising 8 teams in the U12 category and 8 teams in the U15 category, will be invited to compete for the title of champion.

The objective of this Championship is not only to determine the champions but also to foster camaraderie and sportsmanship among the youth baseball community in Belgium. We believe that this event will provide a fantastic platform for young athletes to showcase their talents and to experience the joy of playing at a competitive level.

Apart from the exciting competition, we are also excited to celebrate the champions. The winning teams of both categories will receive their well-deserved prizes and be honored immediately on the event days. The joy and excitement of this celebration will undoubtedly create cherished memories for all participants.

8 teams of the U12 category will be invited to compete on October 7th. On this day there will be two single elimination tournaments, Gold and Silver. The structure of both tournaments can be found below:
