The Olympia Athletics are
a non-league collegiate summer baseball team affiliated
with the
Kitsap
BlueJackets. The team is made up of collegiate players
from the local area and players from the surrounding
small colleges. The Athletics will begin their inaugural
season under Head Coach Josh
Adams and will play a thirty games road schedule
from June 8th to July 22nd against teams in the West
Coast Collegiate Baseball League (WCCBL)
and the Pacific International League (PIL).
As a feeder team for the
BlueJackets, Athletics players are signed under a BlueJacket
contract. At the start of the summer season the BlueJackets
will carry an initial roster of twenty-four players.
WCCBL rules require that all teams set their rosters
at twenty-eight players by July 18. The four remaining
roster spots, it is hoped, will be filled by Athletics
players as they showcase their talents against the WCCBL
and PIL teams.
The goals of the Olympia
Athletics are:
1) to support local college players
2) to add depth to the Kitsap BlueJackets
3) to develop future players for the Kitsap BlueJackets
