SELECTS (Division 1) & UMPIRE FEES
Once again in 2024, we will requiring all Division 1 players to pay additional selects & umpire fees that apply only to teams at this division level.
Selects / Umpire Fee: All players chosen for the Division 1 team will be required to pay an additional $100 Selects/Umpire Fee to cover incidental costs such as added gym/facility bookings, Vista Heights field fee, enhanced WHS equipment, and of course, umpires.
Non-Selects Umpire Fee: If any Division 2 or 3 age category teams receive paid umpires for the season (these fees are levied by Calgary Minor Softball), WHS reserves the right to pass these fees to players within these divisions. (Typically $650 per team). We will NOT be asking for umpire fee pre-payment for all u15+ teams like we did in 2023.
INSTALLMENT PAYMENT OPTION
Once again in 2024, we will offer all registrations two payment options:
Installment Option: An initial deposit payment of $95 (still fully refundable) is required at sign-up. The second installment, for the remainder of the registration fee, will process on March 15, 2024. There is no additional transaction fee if you use this split option.
Full Payment Option: You may also choose to pay the season fee, fully upfront.
WHERE DO YOUR WEST HILL SOFTBALL FEES GO?
(update for 2024 coming soon)
West Hill Softball is a Non-profit organization and all fees are directed to regular expenses during the year.
Here is how your fees were split for the 2022 Season and our 2023 Budget.
Notes:
*Equipment Fees were significantly higher in 2022 with the addition of the u9 Age Category in Calgary Minor Softball season.
*Increase in uniform Costs year-over-year in 2023 as we hope to replace 50% of our jerseys
*Coach Development costs are to expand in 2023 as WHS will cover basic course fees for Coaches
