Two cheques payable to VWMSA to be given to the team manager

No player will be permitted to play, and uniforms will not be assigned, until online registration, signed waiver, volunteer deposit (if applicable) and uniform deposit are submitted.

Our age groupings are mandated by Softball BC: Ages are by calendar year (like the schools) - for example, girls born in 1997 are considered 13 years old in 2010.

The VWMSA has "house" (C) teams playing in all age categories, Learn to Play through Midget divisions.

*after this date no additional teams are formed because team numbers must be frozen for the schedule to be built. Friend requests may not be able to be honoured; team size will be a factor, as will coach preferences. Some divisions may also be closed to registration at the late registration date or any time after if coach numbers or team sizes are a problem.

If you choose the "No volunteer" option, an additional $75 is added to the registration fee.

REFUND POLICY: Registration fees are subject to a $15.00 (non-refundable) administration fee. No refunds will be considered after April 15th without a medical letter.

FINANCIAL HARDSHIP: It is the philosophy of VWMSA that no girl should be denied the opportunity to play due to financial hardship. Please contact the for further information. Or if you would prefer, you can also have a look at www.letkidsplay.ca

Other Important Information

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS: The Association will only be able to provide a positive experience for the players with the volunteer efforts of the participating families. Please be willing to volunteer for multiple jobs, and seriously consider volunteering for one of the Key Positions listed on the Registration form.

VOLUNTEER FEE/ DEPOSIT: Each family is required to donate a minimum of 8 hours of volunteer service. If you are unable, or choose not to volunteer, you should choose the "No Volunteer" package and the "No Volunteer" option in the Parent Volunteer Choice question. If you choose to volunteer (and we hope you will), please state your volunteer job choices in the Parent Volunteer Choice questions on the on-line registration form. You will also be required to give a $75 Volunteer Deposit cheque (post-dated to July 15, 2009) to the team manager. It will be destroyed upon completion of 8 hours of volunteer service.

Please note that in addition to the Volunteer requirements of the Association, parents are required to help their child's team with field preparation, scorekeeping , helping at practice, supplying snacks for games, etc. These duties are not on the list of Association volunteer jobs and are usually assigned to each parent on a rotating basis by the Team Manager or Coach.

UNIFORM DEPOSIT: The $35 Uniform Deposit cheque ($100 for rep players) post-dated to July 15, 2008 is given to the team manager. Uniform deposit cheques will be held until after the season is over and will be destroyed if uniforms are returned clean and in good condition.

UNIFORM: All house players (Mite and older) are required to wear black shorts and two in one (white with black trim) long softball socks. These will be available for sale at Opening Ceremonies. Socks $5, Shorts $15 (tax included).

MOUTH GUARDS: Mouth guards are mandatory on the field and at bat if the helmet does not have a face guard.

HELMETS: The Association requires that players will be responsible for providing their own batting helmets (Black preferred). Players/parents should consider purchasing face guards for the helmets. Infield face masks are optional but should be given serious consideration, particular for Squirt and older. Wildcats (rep team) players are required to have a BLACK helmet with an approved FACE GUARD.

TEAM COMPOSITION: We will do our best to accommodate friend selection. Placement on a team cannot be guaranteed for late registrations.

WILDCATS (Rep teams)

All registered players are encouraged to consider trying out for a rep team, playing under the "Wildcats" team name. More information about the Wildcats rep teams is available on the Wildcats Rep Program Page (button at top of home page). There are still spots available on all Wildcat teams. Interested players should contact the team coaches.
