Big League Experience 2025 Brochure

Big League Experience  

TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

Big League Experience welcomes the 29th year of the “Best of the West” baseball tournaments series to be held in Kamloops, B.C.

The Big League Experience takes great pride in the quality of each baseball tournament, welcoming competitive teams and players from all over the Northwest and Canada. All baseball tournaments are Wood/Wood Composite Bat Only (15U AA, 13U and 11U tournaments can use metal)! Throw in the well manicured fields of the beautiful MacArthur Island Baseball Complex and Oliver Parks and Recreation fields, and we have an environment that is second to none for baseball tournaments.

Tournament spots may be secured with a Non Refundable deposit of 50% of the tournament cost with the balance due no later than one month prior to the tournament start date. If you submit your registration without any payment you can pay through e-transfer, but please understand that your spot in the tournament is not secured until payment is made (no exceptions).

*IMPORTANT – PLEASE NOTE:

  • Best of the West Tournaments are “STAY TO PLAY” Tournaments.   Meaning you must book your hotel needs for your teams and parents through our Tournament booking agents – CSST Sports Travel – Amanda and her team will ensure very competitive rates and match prices, if not, beat any rates you may find in similar hotels (CSTT Office number is: 1 866 861 8326).  Please understand that it is necessary to book through them as they are a major sponsor to all BLE/Best of the West tournament events and booking through them will help off set umpire accommodation needs. That, in itself, keeps the cost of the tournaments down.
    • ***LODGING BUYOUT*** – If your team would like to opt out of the Stay to Play program, you can request to do so by emailing; mail@bigleagueexperience.com This will carry a  $500 Surcharge that will be added to your team’s invoice and must be paid 30 days prior to you selected tournament.   
  • ELIGABLE PLAYERS FOR FALL TOURNAMENTS ARE THOSE ELIGIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING YEARS DIVISION.* i.e. Players eligible for Fall tournaments must be eligible to play in that same division in the upcoming Spring/Summer.

Have a great season and we look forward to seeing you on the field.
