WSWYSA Fall Ball
Due to the demand of baseball and softball fall ball we had to switch a few things up but we are SUPER excited to offer this program this year. Originally we were going to combine baseball and softball with the Charleswood groups however the baseball registration has blown and I hope that the softball does the same as such we needed to move locations.
Softball will be hosted at the Crescentwood site @ 1170 Corydon Avenue.
4 weeks starting September 9th running Thursdays from 6:00 to 8:00 and Saturdays 9:00 to 11:00.
Cost $160.00 per player and is open to players born in 2009-2012
We have the very lucky pleasure of working with the Smitty’s organization to ensure that this program is successful. It will be mainly focused on skills however we will add some games as well to get the girls more live experience.
Registration is now open through the Corydon Community Center – https://corydoncc.maxgalaxycanada.net/Registration.aspx?ActivityID=1149

Information for 2021 season
Welcome to the Riverview Community Club Softball Information Page
Please take a few minutes to read the information below for important news about softball for the upcoming 2020 season.
New for 2021
Softball Manitoba has approved the restructuring of the minor division by adding the AA category.
The three categories that now exist are:
A (community level -formerly referred to as B)
AA (regional teams)
AAA (high performance – formerly referred to as A)
This change was brought about to narrow the gap in skill level between the former A and B levels. Requests from players and parents for more skill development opportunities and a higher level of competition has steadily increased over the years so the desire at the grassroots level is already in place.
In the AA category, each AAA region is able to form up to three teams for each age group. Decisions on the number and locations of teams, the process to formulate teams, as well as any fees to pay, will be overseen by individual AAA regional organizations.
Riverview community center is located within WSWYSA Smittys area for AAA. For more Information about the AAA Smittys Terminators go to https://www.smittysterminators.ca/.
The continued strength and success of softball at the A (community) level is of utmost importance to Softball Manitoba. The grassroots level is the growth of our sport. To ensure this, players must register and play on an A level community team in order to be eligible to try out for an AA team. Furthermore, AA teams will be restricted in days of practice, play and tournaments from the beginning of the season until the respective age category provincials are complete. The AA teams may offer practices and exhibition games ONLY on FRIDAY NIGHTS until the end of A provincials. Two tournament showcase weekends are booked for June 12/13 and July 17/18. No restrictions are in place following the respective A provincial. The hope is to host an AA provincial in August for each category.

General Information for 2021:
All players will continue to register out of their local club.
All players must register in the RAMP online registration system. Link on the RVCC website.
Fees must be paid by etransfer or cheque before you can play. Riverview fees include a 20$ club fee which helps cover the cost of equipment and club services.
Softball conveners from local community clubs and WSWYSA board members will attend a draft meeting where teams will be picked based on several criteria (see below in bold). Teams will be developed in an effort to make play both fair and competitive.
Rosters will be held to 12-13 players as much as possible.
Teams will be formed based on the availability of a coach (at least one member of the coaching staff must have a softball coaching certificate). In addition, A ball requires several pitchers who can pitch windmill style.
Any community club wishing to host a team –must have a dedicated coach identified early in the year and at least 2-3 pitchers who can (or are willing to learn) windmill.
All efforts will be made to keep as many of the local players together, playing out of their own club but, this is dependent on the number of girls registered, if there is a coach from the community and, the availability of pitchers. There is a possibility your child may be drafted to another club.
Registration cost for softball for the 2021 season is 160.00$ per player for U10-U19. Learn to Play registration fee is 70$. Community clubs may add fees such as a service or volunteer bond to the registration cost. This is individual and unique to each community club.
