Coach Jamie Bodaly
Lead instructor Jamie Bodaly has over 18 years of experience as a high performance coach in British Columbia. He is presently the Head Coach of the British Columbia Premier Baseball League (BCPBL) Langley Blaze, one of North America's top ranked 18U baseball programs, and is also the lead instructor for the Langley Senior Secondary Baseball Academy. Under Jamie's watch, he has helped over 200 students gain post secondary scholarships throughout North America, as well as coaching over 350 athletes including MLB players Tyler O’Neil and Brett Lawrie.
Jamie has been heavily involved in the Langley Blaze organization since 2003 following an injury that ended his baseball career. Jamie was an offensive stand out in the Premier Baseball League (PBL) with scholarship opportunities in the U.S. After putting up impressive numbers with the Kwantlen University program, he switched his deep passion for the game into coaching. Jamie became the head coach of the Premier team in 2008, building his resume with relentless local scouting, tournament coaching and continued learning. Jamie's commitment to building local talent, moving players onto college programs and giving them the opportunity to fulfill their dreams in the Major League Baseball (MLB) continues to fuel his day to day work ethic.
