Why Go in March
Spring takes its time in British Columbia, and the Cardinals' regular season doesn't start until late March. The trip means outdoor practices and games on turf infields while the weather at home catches up.
What IMG Academy Is
IMG Academy is a boarding school and sports campus in Bradenton, Florida. By IMG's own count, its baseball program has seventeen national tournament wins, including High School National Championship titles in 2019 and 2023.
