PLEASE NOTE:
Teams will be formed using the following principles:
- Players will be welcomed from Burford and surrounding areas. Players closest to Burford's town center will be given priority should numbers exceed team caps.
- We reserve the right to use discretion for the development of team rosters when applying team cap limits. Teams in some divisions fill up very quickly. We encourage you to register early if you are certain you want to play as teams are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Players will play on the team associated with their birth year. In the event that we are not able to field a full team for any given age group, we will look at the possibility of players moving up or down. This will be done in consultation with players' parent(s) and the league the team plays in.
- Players with limited experience, may be invited to a skills evaluation day to determine whether they may be more successful on another team. This will be done in consultation with players' parent(s) and the league the team plays in.
Softball teams will follow Ontario Softball rules and regulations. Teams require a minimum number of players to be registered into the league. Travel is be expected (within an hour range) for all softball teams.
We will NOT guarantee a specific coach or team and will not allow switching of teams as we work hard to make the teams fair.
Thank you for understanding.
We are looking forward to a great summer with you and your child(ren).
