Good Morning Fastball Players! Our winter development program is set to start on Sunday, January the 3rd. Since schools are still closed for community events we will be using the field at the Northern Sports Centre for this program. Due to the ongoing pandemic, pre-registration is required and and we will be following Softball BC's covid protocols. You can review those documents here: https://www.softball.bc.ca/softball-bc-return-to-play-guid/... So far, the schedule looks like this: Jan 3rd 8:00 am until 9:45 am - U16 and U19 players Jan 3rd 6:45 pm until 8:45 pm - U12 and U14 players. We will have the occasional U10 and younger session if possible. That is not a typo, there is a morning session and an evening session. Spectators are not allowed at the Sports Centre. Volunteers are required to help with the sanitizing. There is a space on the registration form to volunteer. We are limited to 5 non-player participants for each session, we can't expect the coaches to coach and clean. For the month of January there will be no charge for training but once February gets here there will be a small fee to help cover the cost of the facility. Here is a link to the registration form: https://forms.gle/CL93nBUSV6Gn586q8 More details to follow. Edit: There are several waivers that need to be completed prior to attending. These will be sent out to all registrants.
