Pre-season Indoor Sessions: Softball activities related to the spring season begins in January with weekly indoor sessions. This gives players the opportunity to familiarize themselves with basic skills, drills and game concepts. The cost of these sessions is included in registration fees. NOTE: LTP U7 Seasons does not include indoor pre-season training.
Evaluations and Team Selection: Players hoping to play Division 1 can choose to participate in tryouts held in February. Player evaluations for those not placed on the Division 1 team are held in March. Based on performance, players are placed on tiered teams. Premier Division 1 (Warriors), Division 2, Division 3 and Division 4. The number of teams in divisions 1-4 is dependent upon the number of registrants and the skillset of those groups.
Friend Requests: Athletes registering in U7 (learn to play) and U9 may have a maximum of one (1) friend request per athlete; while it is not guaranteed, West Valley Board will make every effort to accommodate that request. From U11 onward friend requests will not be considered.
