Good day to all LIWSA Members;
I am writing to give everyone a heads up as we are planning on opening our season Oct.16th weekend. Just a few house keeping chores to do by all. Also everything needs to be in a very timely fashion in order for this to work. So that means we all need pitch in. Now is the time for teams to make that final decision to play or not as cohorts need to be determined this week. If an opt out is needed please let us know asap!
1. Cohorts need to be formed this week. Players will be required to enter their cohort on Oct.2nd to meet the return to play guidelines set forth by Viasport and BCSA. We will keep them as comparably competitive as possible but this can also mean games out of division. Keep an open mind. Remember the idea here is to get as many people out there as we can. We all have been through a lot and deserve this opportunity.
3. Registration will open Monday. Please be patient and read and follow all instructions. Stacie will help you as much as possible. There will be a $50 BCSA affiliation fee charged to each team and an additional $100 new team fee charged to new teams. Individual player registration will be $40 per player as BCSA has taken off $3 per player. Team season fees will be prorated as to how many games are to be played. One charge will be before the break and then depending on the status of the pandemic the LIWSA will determine what the second half of the season will look like including costs.
Many tasks are required to get to start date. We will inform and update as we go. Please once again be patient and if a burning question is looking for an answer, please e-mail your liaison and they can direct it to the appropriate person to address the said question.
Regards,
Cornelis (Casey) Tepper
President LIWSA
