The season for the provincial teams runs from Apr - mid July. Practices/games take place usually Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and Calgary have combined to bring tournament play at a lower cost by each hosting a round robin exhibition style weekend where each team plays 4 games (2 sat, 2 sun). We call this SASS - Southern Alberta Softball Series. Teams at these tournaments are C/D level.
*U11 is a starting point to learn more about competitive softball and is designed as a fun way to be introduced into softball competition. There are no walks and the game is designed to get the ball into play. It is for beginner skill levels and we encourage everyone who is interested in learning more and having fun while doing it to come on out!
SASS Tournament Dates:
Medicine Hat - May 9-11
Lethbridge - May 23-25
Calgary - Jun 7-9
Additional Tournament(s) - TBD This will be decided by the coaches/teams.
Provincial Playdowns - 3rd or 4th weekend in Jun
Provincials (D) - Jul 4-6

(The Division that U13-U19 will play in will depend on tournament outcomes)
