How does my friend join?

We no longer allow individuals to register themselves or just show up. In order to register ensure you send the persons full name and email to a Captain or Core Club member. Following this if they want to sport they must complete any necessary waivers.  Everything we do, events, hiking, dinner clubs, travel, sports is invitation only. We are welcoming to all new members but we want to ensure we maintain our positive and safe environment, thus register the new players with a core member.

Once the new person is registered it’s up to them to follow us on socials and read the FAQ to get caught up.

How does in or out work?

Full time players: Each week you visit the game page for your league/seasons team and click either the green button that says in, or the red button that says out. Game pages lock at noon before all game days. No response is considered an out and players will be replaced. Game pages are also locked two weeks away, you’re able to say “out” for a game over 14 days away however you’re no able to say in, until the two week window opens. This was implemented when players clicked “in , in , in” for every game and all season, and obviously that was not the case.

If you know you’re out for sure, go to that game and say out. Vacation in three weeks, let us know now.

Spares/or another night you don’t play on: The week of the game, go and mark “can spare” on the page. There are again two large buttons, green for in and red for out. A core club member will confirm if you are activated. Due to operational needs you may not be chosen, for example we might have to ask a woman before a man because of co-ed requirements or we might choose an outfielder over an infielder but in general we will ask who ever has indicated. If you can’t spare, do the same and mark it on the game page.

WHAT’S Does  #UNTIL2039 mean?

In 2012 Co -Captain Krystle went to Co-Captain Eric Delisle’s men’s competitive ONSPL game. The Hot Pockets were playing at Dumaurier West. Best I can figure it was August 13th, 2012.

A foul ball was hit, you know the spot , down the hill into that ditch area next to the parking lot. As Krystle went to fetch it she wandered past a table of men playing cards. The ball was retrieved and thrown in and one of the gentleman complimented her throw and asked if she wanted a beer.

She sat with them at their Costco fold up table, admiring the bottle of scotch on the table and trying to figure out what card game they were playing. Everyone introduced themselves and two brothers named Eric & Dave (clearly a sign) ran the team. The team had played before Eric’s game that night. The men mentioned they had all played together since high school! Everyone chatted and drank and it was interesting to see that they had done this for so many years.

She was inspired. She wanted to be drinking scotch and smoking cigars in a lotty after her games with SBW when she was an old man too. Eventually Eric’s game ended and he found her. She asked, if a team had been together since 85 , how many years would that be if our team stayed together, what year would we then play until?

Until 2039 he answered.

ps. if anyone knows what team it was that handed Krystle a beer and inspired us, please let me know…

What is/How to do a post game?

A post game is a write up of the games main moments. Writing post games is a long standing tradition and the best ones have always been creative but accurate.

Any photo
A photo of the score sheet
A 300 word or more recount of the game

Some obvious tips:

• Keep it friendly towards the opposing team, umpires , league and even our players, although Eric is fair game & we encourage you to make fun of him.
• Take notes during the game to remember items
• Take a photo or two during the game so it’s not a Google’d image come post time
• Read the historical best post games to get an idea of post games
• Write it right away while it’s fresh in your mind
• Check that you spelled names correctly
• Use the score sheet to help you

What is US VS. THEM?

What is it: It’s Women’s VS Men’s friendly match ups

Futsal:

Started with Soccer aka Futsal in 2013 with our women’s soccer team vs them, the guys who always watched the games. We lost in a devastating 5-2 game. The second time we played “The Rematch” in 2014 the ladies won! The 3rd time we matched up against one another,  played in the winter of 2015 titled “The Tie breaker” the ladies lost , again 5-2. The 4th game called “Lets Go” played in 2016 the men took it making series at this point 3-1.

2018 had a dramatic last minute goal by the ladies to win 7-6 and bring the overall series to 3-2. 2019 edition had the girls best team they’ve put together over the years and Eric and Alex were nervous after watching them play. The boys would pull off one of the biggest upsets in franchise history winning an estimated 15-3 (we lost count of the score). Krystle would go on to beat up on some girls on her Monday team and win the game for them in the final seconds. Boys now up 4-2.

Softball:

2016 we had the first ever Us vs. Them softball edition. The girls loss pretty badly, all evidence of the game (score sheet) was destroyed lol, we couldn’t even beat the spread that “vegas” put on it. Captain Krystle ended up wearing a cute little maid outfit for frolic. The second in the series,  happened September 23rd, 7pm and the ladies got pumped. THIS time we are adding a handicap.

2017 edition had Krystle veto any composite bats from the guys and gave them “pop can” bats. Ancient aluminium and whenever a guy hit a nice hit even with these fence posts she would come steal the bat away. The Ladies had a good line up but with some last minute ringers Eric recruited the game was fairly one sided having the men up 2-0 in the series. There was no game played in 2019

IS IT A RAIN OUT?

Does it say on the schedule that the game is cancelled? No? Then it’s not a rain out! Always plan to play! Do not ask if it’s a rain out. If you have to ask then the game is on. If the League determines it’s a rain out our website will be updated first. This will send an automatic email to all those who have properly rsvp’d. After this, we will update our team socials. Then, we will post in group chat and reach out to individual players. If you’re not following us Instagram, Facebook and TikTok you may miss this announcement. Further to this ensure that website emails do not go to your junk mail.

The League will only call games up until as late as 5pm. Anything after that is umpire’s discretion. We aren’t able to answer your texts cause we are driving to the game. If for any reason people do not show up to the game cause they thought it was going to get rained out, especially women or a pitcher, then we forfeit.
