Whalley Junior Chiefs
Welcome to the website of the Whalley Junior Chiefs. We are the primary development team - or feeder team - for the Whalley Chiefs of the BC Premier Baseball League. The BCPBL is arguably the top high school age league in Canada, and regularly showcases the best young baseball talent in the country.Whalley has a glorious past of baseball talent and championships.
Each season the BCPBL sends many players to college and university programs both in Canada and the USA, with a select few being chosen in the annual Major League Baseball draft. The Chiefs are one of the longest running club teams in Canada and have a long history of graduating players into college and university programs, as well as professional baseball (click here for a list of Chiefs draft picks).
The Jr. Chiefs play in the BC Junior Premier League, a 16U wood bat league. We play a 44 game JPBleague schedule, plus an additional 15-20 exhibition and tournament games from March through mid August. Two Tournaments in Washington (Kent & Spokane)are planned for 2014.The emphasis of the junior program is to develop our players and prepare them to move up with the tools necessary to compete and succeed at the next level.
Players in our program are expected to be dedicated to bettering themselves both on and off the field. Hard work and hustle, playing the game with class and respect, physical fitness, off-season training and academic responsibility are all critical components of our program. Players at this level take the game seriously as most have post-secondary baseball aspirations and all want to test themselves against the best.Player costs will be competitive with all other JPBL organizations.
