The Guerriers Junior Élite de Granby are hosting a community baseball clinic followed by a high-level exhibition match at Stade Napoléon-Fontaine. The event, scheduled for Sunday, June 14, offers local minor baseball players direct coaching from the Junior Élite roster, according to the organization’s official schedule.
## Community Engagement at Stade Napoléon-Fontaine
The Guerriers organization has structured the day to bridge the gap between elite-level players and the region’s youth development programs. Between 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., members of the Junior Élite team will conduct a skills clinic on the field at the rue Maisonneuve facility.
According to the organization, approximately 50 minor baseball players have confirmed their attendance for the morning session. This initiative serves as a primary outreach effort for the team, allowing young athletes to receive instruction from players currently competing in the Ligue de baseball junior élite du Québec (LBJÉQ).
## Exhibition Match Against the Académie de Baseball du Québec
Following the youth clinic, the focus shifts to competitive play. At 1:00 p.m., the Guerriers, managed by head coach Dany Clavette, will face the Académie de baseball du Québec (ABQ).
The ABQ squad represents a showcase of top-tier talent, specifically recruiting high-performing prospects in the U16 and U17 age brackets. For the Guerriers, this matchup provides a tactical test against a roster designed to develop future collegiate and professional candidates.

## Why These Matchups Matter for Development
The inclusion of the Académie de baseball du Québec in the Guerriers’ schedule is part of a broader strategy within the LBJÉQ to expose junior players to high-velocity prospects. By facing the ABQ, the Guerriers are participating in a developmental pipeline that prioritizes scouting exposure and refined technical play.
This Sunday schedule reflects a common trend in amateur baseball, where organizations combine community-based “grassroots” coaching with high-stakes exhibition games to maximize stadium utility and fan engagement. Sunday’s events at Stade Napoléon-Fontaine align with the league’s ongoing efforts to integrate youth development with the senior-level junior competitive calendar.
