Vernon Baseball Association (VBA) will host the 2018 13UAAA and 11U AAA Tier 2 provincial championships.
The number of teams involved will be announced later.
“The BC Baseball Board chose Vernon Baseball as the host of these Championships at the Oct. 3 board meeting,” wrote Orville Germaine, BC Baseball 13U Division chair. “I’m sure this will be very exciting for you and all of your volunteers and players, and I know it will be a great location for all the teams from across the province.”
The 11U (Mosquito) provincials will go Aug. 3-7 at Lakeview Park, while the u13 (Pee Wee AAA) tournament is scheduled for Aug. 2-6 at Creekside Park.
