Answer: |
Yes, although you will need to provide some additional documentation to the league registrar via fax, mail, email a scanned image, or by bringing them to one of our 'in-person' registration sessions.
The additional items of documentation are:
- A copy of the player's birth certificate.
- Proof of residency - this is a copy of a utility bill - eg. phone, Internet, hydro or cable TV bill.
You can send the documentation to us in one of three ways:
- Fax the copies to fax: 604-929-8730
- Scan and email them to gailsnelling@shaw.ca
- Mail them to:

Question: |
What is the 'early-bird' rate about, and how much is it? |

In order to encourage our members to register early, and therefore to allow the league additional time to arrange facilities for tryouts, form teams, enlist coaches etc., we are offering an early bird rate. This consists of a $15 discount for all registrations received prior to January 21st. |

Question: |
Will the online registration process allow me to submit requests, such as requesting a certain coach, or requesting that my child be able to play with specific friends? |
Back to top |
| |
Answer: |
Yes, for Rally Caps, Rookie Junior and Rookie Senior divisions, the online registration system provides for requests.
For the older divisions, we typically select teams using a draft in order to ensure that teams are balanced and that all teams, and therefore all players, have an equal chance for success. For this reason, requests are not provided for these divisions.
Having said that, if you have some specific issues that feel need to be considered (conflicts with a certain coach etc.), please contact the Player Agent for your division.

Question: |
When & how will I find out what team my child is on? |
Back to top |
| |
Answer: |
The team selection process for most divisions will be complete by March 31. Normally coaches will contact their players soon after their team has been formed, but we will also be posting team lists on the league website, so you can check here near the end of March if you haven't been contacted by your coach. |

Question: |
What are 'assessments' and 'tryouts'? |
Back to top |
| |
Answer: |
For some divisions such as Rally Caps, Rookie Junior and Senior, we select the teams by simply placing players from a certain school together, or by placing friends on the same team. But for divisions starting at the AA level, we want to keep score and maintain standings - in order to do this it becomes more important to use a method of team selection that balances the skill level of each team so that all teams and players have an equal opportunity for success. Assessments are used to evaluate each player so that we can distribute players in an equitable fashion.
Tryouts on the other hand are used in divisions where we offer an even more competitive opportunity for more advanced players. In these cases tryouts are held, and only the highest scoring players qualify for the team or division.
- Tryouts are always optional - a player chooses to attend tryouts or not.
- Assessments are always mandatory - they are an essential tool for balancing teams.

Question: |
When does the season start, and how long does it last? |
Back to top |
| |
Answer: |
Most divisions will start playing toward the end of the first week of April, and will complete their playoffs toward the middle of June. For age groups starting at 9 years old there are various post-season All-Star opportunities that can extend the baseball season as far as the end of July, and for the Majors division, toward the end of August (if they go to Williamsport!). |
