 Who is eligible to play for the Olympia Athletics?

 ANSWER: College baseball players of every level.

 How do I get on this team?

 ANSWER: Players who play for the Olympia Athletics have received an  invitation to play.

 How will I know if I am on the team?

ANSWER: Players who have received an invitation will reserve their roster position by paying the players fee.

How many home games will we play?

ANSWER: None, this is a travel team that will play 40 games.

How will we travel and where will we stay?

ANSWER: The Olympia Athletics will travel in caravans and will stay in hotels.

We expect perfect behavior on the road.

What if I get offered to play for another team?

ANSWER: Coach Acker has 24 hours to take the player or release the player to the other team, if he chooses too. It is a checks and balance system as Coach Acker will balance what is best for the player, the BlueJackets and the league.

If I don't get picked up by the BlueJackets on or before July 18th, can I play for my old summer team after the Athletics season?

ANSWER: He can play anywhere he wants after July 18th. Every Athletic's player contract is up on July 18th. The contracts are designed that way because July 18th is the last day for WCCBL teams to pick up a player. July 18th also coincides with the Pacific International League getting ready for the NBC World Series and for those who are eligible for post season summer ball for High School. The Athletics have a couple of games after July 18th, but if other opportunities arise they are more than welcome to follow them.

Why would I play a 30-game schedule for the Athletics if I could play 50-games in a men's summer league or 60-plus games on a summer team?

ANSWER: By playing for the Olympia Athletics players will be competing against a higher level of competition than most other summer league teams.

IMPORTANT: Attendance and behavior are important factors in order to play for the Olympia Athletics. With the potential of moving up to the Kitsap BlueJackets, we have to make sure that each player understands that missing games in not an option. We are willing to work with someone who has an emergency and communicates with us. When playing against a WCCBL team you will encounter large crowds and alcohol being served at the games. We want to make sure that our players are acting appropriately in these types of environments. If an Athletics player is kicked out of a game or removed from a game by an Athletics coach, that player will no longer be eligible to be called up to the BlueJackets.
