ATHLETES - SASK. FIRST
WESTERN CANADA SUMMER GAMES PROGRAM
As you may know, due to low registration by the deadline date this spring, the identification process has been moved to the fall. The coaches were prepared to scout at several tournaments this season, but unfortunately the scheduled ones were rained out. Our coaching staff did get to Pee Wee A and Bantam A Provincials to scout.
Player Identification for the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops, BC on August 5-9 is now under way. All players born 1995 or later are welcome to send the application form, along with a $50.00 registration fee (fee includes initial identification camp & t-shirt) to Softball Saskatchewan. Deadline date is August 20th, 2010.
