There has been some confusion about what this costs: what should I pay?

appropriate registration for each child
one volunteer deposit per family (using discount code for second and subsequent children)

Example: A mite and squirt, your Visa cost in late registration should be $500, of which $100 is refundable. In regular registration, it would be $400, of which $100 is refundable.

If you paid an extra volunteer deposit, it will be refunded.

REGISTRATION FOR THE 2011 HOUSE SEASON IS OPEN

Please read the following registration requirements and fee details carefully before proceeding. If you have questions, please look at the division pages, FAQ or contact the division coordinators.

Registration Requirements:

Completed Online Registration Form (link at bottom of page) which includes the PARENT VOLUNTEER choice
A $35 Uniform Deposit cheque post-dated to July 15, 2011 to be given to the team manager (except rep teams, who are required to purchase uniforms)
A signed WAIVER & RELEASE form to be given to the team manager at the first team meeting
A photocopy of player's birth certificate to be shown to the team manager (for new players who have not previously submitted one)

No player will be permitted to play, and uniforms will not be assigned, until online registration, signed waiver, 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 14 years old in 2011.

The VWMSA has "house" (C) teams playing in all age categories, Learn to Play through Midget divisions. Rep players (Wildcats) register in the divisions at the same fees.

* after this date no additional teams are formed because team numbers must be frozen for the schedule to be built. Friend requests will be honoured if possible; 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.

# For Learn to Play/Mini-mite children, at least one parent or designate is expected to attend EVERY session with their child, so the registration fee does not include a volunteer deposit. Coaches and Manager volunteers will receive additional refunds for part of their registration costs.

** includes the $100 volunteer fee which will be refunded at the end of the season with proof of at least 8 hours of volunteer service.

& the lower fee reflects the shorter season, and includes the $100 volunteer fee which will be refunded at the end of the season with proof of at least 8 hours of volunteer service.

FAMILIES REGISTERING MORE THAN 1 CHILD IN MITE OR ABOVE: When registering your child/children after the first into the Mite or older divisions, please enter the discount code "multiple". The registration fee for that child will then not include the $100 volunteer 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 see www.letkidsplay.ca or www.kidsportcanada.ca or contact the Registrar for further information.

Other Important Information

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS: The Association will only be able to provide a positive experience for the players only 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 Volunteering page.

VOLUNTEER FEE: Each family is required to donate a minimum 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 post-dated to July 15, 2011 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 Photo Day. Socks $5, Shorts $15 (tax included).

MOUTH GUARDS: Mouth guards or an infield mask are mandatory on the field. Mouth guards are mandatory 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 this frame). There are still spots available on all Wildcat teams. Interested players should contact the team coaches.
