EVALUATIONS UPDATE
Our first couple weekends of evaluations are now complete, focusing on u13, u15, and u17/u19.  Communications will be coming out in the next 24 hours for u13/u15/u17 call-backs, as well as the start of u11 evaluations.  Stay tuned to your emails for further details and instructions!

REGISTRATION UPDATE – new record 378 registrations!
Thanks to all of you, we have blown away our previous registration records.  As of Sunday night, we hit 378 registrations, another 11% growth from last season (and an amazing 67% growth over 5 years).  This now includes over 100 brand new players to WHS this season alone!  Our new goal is to reach 400 .. can we do it?  Registrations remain open for our u7, u9, and u11 groups, and we can still fit a few more players as late registrations in our older age groups. https://www.westhillsoftball.ca/register/
