2006 Pan Pacific Tournament
The 6th IBA Pan Pacific Tournament, hosted by NSWJBL in August
2006, marked the return to Australia of high-level international
junior baseball.
Played at the pristine Foray St Baseball Complex over six days,
the tournament included three local squads plus representatives
from Japan, Chinese Taipei and Singapore.
Message from the NSWJBL
President
This year offered baseball fans a unique opportunity to see or
in some cases play in an international level baseball tournament
here in Sydney. We have had international teams visit Sydney
before, but this is the first fully international tournament to
be staged here since the U19 World Series in 1988 and it is the
first younger age Junior championship of this magnitude ever to be
played in Australia.
You only have to read the biography of any of the Olympic
champions or the athletes who competed in the Commonwealth games
recently to know there is nothing like the thrill of competing
at a high level before your home crowd. Teams from NSW will
travel to Japan and the USA later this year, before competing in
front of family and friends in the Pan Pacific Championships
here in Sydney in August.
THANK YOU ...
to all our volunteers
We were overwhelmed with the help provided by a tireless crew
of volunteers. Thank you to all the people who have
volunteered to help. As well as general help through the
tournament, we had some assistance in specialised areas.

Thank you for your support

President N.S.W.J.B.L.
