West Hill Outdoor Fall Programs - 2023
Selects Competitive Fall Program & Division 1 ID Camps
(u11-u19)
*How do we differ from Calgary Minor Softball's Saturday Fall Ball?
* Program closer to home (Glamorgan)
* Shorter in length (2.0-2.5 hours only)
* Targeted at our competitive players
* Early introduction to the 2024 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 (u11-u19)
Designed for players who want a more competitive program. It will include both instructional practice / skills growth, and live game play each week (pending # of participants).
Groups will be formed at the 2024 AGE GROUPS (see below). This gives an early opportunity for players to meet potential new teammates for the 2024 season.

Some limited exceptions may be given to the strongest players on Division 3 teams, who are returning to the same age category. (This requires approval from West Hill Softball - please contact).
For most Division 3 players, we recommend Calgary Minor Softball's Fall Ball Program on Saturdays.
