2016 Softball Info

Hello Lakehill families,

I hope this message finds you healthy and well. I am writing to thank you for your participation and support of Lakehill softball in 2015 and advise about our softball programs for the 2016 season.

After reviewing our numbers by division from this past season, our successes at districts, provincials, and Westerns, and the interest from new players, Lakehill will offer the following for the 2016 season:

U10 Mites – Tier 1 and Tier 2
U12 Squirts – B and C
U14 Pee Wee – B and C
U16 Bantam – B and C
U18 Midget – B
U19 Midget - C

Please remember that in Softball BC you play to the age that you are turning in the calendar year: U10 Mites: 8, 9 & 10 year olds U12 Squirts: 11 & 12 year olds U14 Pee Wee: 13 & 14 year olds U16 Bantam: 15 & 16 year olds U18B/19C Midget: 17, 18, and 19 year olds (19 year olds who did not play U18B in 2015 can play U19C).

Shortly we will send out and post information for age division winter off-season indoor practices that begin in January and B team try outs early in 2016.

Please stay tuned and check for updates at www.lakehillball.com.

Best,
Paul
Vice-President (Softball)
