But that hasn't kept them back from forging forward with the future of baseball in Belize. Flores says that they have big plans, one which involves the construction of a professional baseball field of dreams, and they already have the land for it:
Carolyn Flores, President, Belize Baseball Federation
"The vision is to construct a state of the art baseball stadium where we will have at least three baseball fields. I am thinking really big. One for little league level one for professional baseball at least 400 feet from the centre field to the base, that is professional and then a softball pitch because that is what we intend to do long term then we are going to have of course dorms, at least 60 rooms, those 60 room dorms will be to cater for our long term goals to cater for people to come from Central America to come to our academy we are going to be training talents per year we are going to get for example 60 young persons from around the world, particularly Central America to come to our academy and then they would train, develop them to a level and send them out again that is going to be the recycling process. And so by doing that we are going to develop our own talent and develop other talents so it is going to become a state of the art entity like one that is in the Dominican Republic so that is the long term goal. And of course we will have gyms and all those different things that state of the art baseball structures should have."
