The Western Pacific Series is an annual winner-take all youth baseball championship between participating Guam Teams and baseball neighbors in the region.

Baseball competition also allows the exchange of cultural experiences, further highlighting the importance of developing opportunities for wholesome, social interactions. The Western Pacific Series is considered an international championship tournament of the Guam Baseball Academy Program.
“Sports and baseball is a great way to create lasting friendships. The 2015 16U WPS is the third Western Pacific Series to be played with Guam winning the 2014 14U and 18U tournaments. The annual WPS tournaments goals is to foster relationships with other islands in our region and bring teams to Guam to play competitive baseball”, says Justin Bennett, Tournament Coordinator.
Bennett continues, “Western Pacific Series is reviving competitive game play offering young baseball athletes the opportunity to succeed on the field. Most importantly, WPS provides its participants with experiences and opportunities that go beyond local baseball and allow young players to grow to meet their best potential. On behalf of Guam Baseball Academy, I congratulate all of the players and coaches and with them the best of luck in the 2015 16U Western Pacific Series Baseball Tournament.
