South Cowichan Youth Softball
This league is open to youth ages 5 - 18, new or experienced players. Registration includes two field slots per week for Intro - Major teams, one slot per week for T-Ball teams. All players will receive a team shirt and a team and individual picture. Players need their own glove and batting helmet. Face masks for batting helmets are recommended for T-Ball, Intro, and Junior and required for Intermediate, Senior, and Major.
The 2023 season is now wrapped. See you next year!
Registration for the 2024 season will open in December 2023.
All players must also complete and submit a Registration Form before they can participate.
While we do our best to accommodate player requests, nothing is guaranteed. The top priority at the start of the season is to create balanced teams for each age group. Requests that prevent this from being achieved will not be accommodated.
Withdrawals must take place a minimum of one (1) week prior to the season start date in order to receive a full refund. If a withdrawal request is received after the season start date, a prorated refund will be given up until April 25. No refunds will be given after this date, unless we can fill your space with a wait-listed participant. All withdrawals are subject to a $5 administration fee.
