SAFE STAR SASKATCHEWAN
Softball Saskatchewan is please to announce a new Best Practices Program for Softball associations in Saskatchwan.
What is SAFE STAR?
The SAFE STAR Program was originally designed by Softball Ontario and adopted by Softball Canada for use by all Provinces/Territories on an individual basis in the hopes of promoting best practices in Softball Association management and administration.
The SAFE STAR Program is a quality assurance program that will award Softball Associations with a STAR rating from one (1) to three (3), based on a series of standards in four categories:
Organizational Development
Volunteer Development
Long Term Player Development
Provincial Participation
Softball Associations who receive a SAFE STAR Rating will be able to promote themselves as a ‘SAFE STAR Rated Softball Association’, and will receive free promotional materials to assist them in marketing their programs to the public.   The promotional materials and the SAFE STAR Rating will help Softball associations to build a better brand for themselves and benefit from a greater perceived quality of programs available.
Please click HERE for the User Guide or click HERE for the Application.
If you have any questions, please contact Guy at
(306) 780-9235 or guy@softball.sk.ca.
