West Hill Outdoor Fall Programs
Please read through our 2 program options below for this fall.
1. Selects Competitive Fall Program (u11-u19)
2. Fun Fall Program (u9)
*How do we differ from Calgary Minor Softball's Saturday Fall Ball?
* Program closer to home (Glamorgan)
* Shorter in length (1.5-2.5 hours only)
* Targeted at our competitive players (except u9)
* Early introduction to the 2023 age groups
These programs are meant as a compliment and alternative to CMSA's program. You may indeed participate in BOTH sessions.
1. Selects Competitive Fall Program
Designed for players who want a more competitive program. It will include both instructional practice and game play each week. Most importantly, we are moving to the 2023 age groups to give an early opportunity for players to start playing with new teammates in preparation for next season. Most players have not previously played together except for the modified 2020 summer season.
WHO:
All 2022 Division 1 & 2 Players are welcome PLUS Division 3 players who are returning to the same age group, and feel like they are ready to compete at a higher level.
If a Division 3 player is moving up in age group in 2023 (e.g. from u11 to u13), please contact us for inclusion approval.
For less competitive players or new to the game, we recommend Calgary Minor Softball's Fall Ball Program on Saturdays.

Other Upcoming Events:
Fall Outdoor Early Evaluations for 2023
West Hill Softball is considering optional outdoor evaluations before the snow flies this season. This will give the opportunity to see players side-by-side in their new age groups and see where they are at PRIOR to our winter clinics.
This will NOT replace Spring Evaluations and would NOT be required, but will enhance the entire evaluation process by providing WHS with additional information about each player.
Indoor Winter Program (Oct+)
More details on this program will be released later in August. As we have done in previous seasons, we will team up with experienced coaches and run Sunday clinics on a bi-weekly basis through the winter. These programs will start after Thanksgiving weekend.
