The season runs from early April and until the end of June. The South Vancouver Island (SVI) Minor Fastpitch Association U16 Division has three Tiers: C (Recreational), B (Competitive) and A (Highly Competitive). In 2022, Carnarvon Fastball plans to offer U17C Fastpitch Softball.
Schedule
In
U17, there are usually 1-2 games per week. Practice schedules vary from
year to year and depend on field and coach preference, but in the past
there have been 1-2 practices per week depending on the number of games
that are scheduled.
Age Requirements
In Spring 2022, U17 is for players born in 2005 and 2006. It is possible for younger players to join, if space is available. Contact carnarvonfastballregistrar@gmail.com if you would like to request your younger child play at this level.
Assessments
Assessments maybe required depending on registration numbers.
Team Selection
We
will make every effort to accommodate any friend or coaching request,
no guarantees can be made. Priority will be given to past Carnarvon
players first, then on a first come first served basis.
Uniforms
Players will receive a team uniform shirt and a hat that they get to keep at the end of the season (there is no uniform deposit). Please ensure that they wear it to each game. Players are required to wear black ball pants.
Equipment
Required equipment:
- batting helmet with a strap and cage
- glove
- cleats (recommended, but not mandatory, baseball or soccer cleats are fine)
- infield face guards for pitchers (recommended for all players)
- black ball pants
Please ensure that you mark the player's name on everything. A white label or masking tape works well on the outside of the batting helmet and handwritten on labels in shirts, glove and hats.
