It’s no secret that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a sustainable number of umpires and referees for kids’ sports. To help address this, SBR Rockies will be piloting a Bonded Umpire Program—a low-stress opportunity for parents, siblings, grandparents, or family friends to step up and make a difference. BONDED UMPIRE PROGRAM It’s no secret that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a sustainable number of umpires and referees for kids’ sports. To help address this, SBR Rockies will be piloting a Bonded Umpire Program—a low-stress opportunity for parents, siblings, grandparents, or family friends to step up and make a difference. We in the SBR Rockies association are committed to supporting the Calgary Minor Softball Association (CMSA) and the Calgary Minor Umpires Association (CMUA) in their recruitment efforts. Please review the information below and consider whether this role might be a good fit for you. You’ll also have the full backing of the SBR Board, as we are implementing a behavior management system this year for both spectators and players. This will include a newly introduced, signed SBR Rockies Code of Conduct. Sign up for the Umpire Training Clinic Coming Soon Disclosure One Umpire Bond will be offered to each team in the following divisions: U9, U11, U13 Div 2/3, U15 Div 2/3, U17 & U19 Div 2/3. Outcome To foster a fun, safe, and fair playing environment for players, umpires, coaches, and families. Objectives Deliver quality, confident, and consistent umpiring at Rockies home games and potentially beyond, depending on umpire participation. Successfully execute the pilot umpire program during the 2025 Spring/Summer season. When proved successful, present the program to CMSA, CMUA, and other softball affiliations with the goal of city-wide adoption. Benefits of Becoming an SBR Rockies Bonded Umpire Help resolve a pressing issue facing CMSA/CMUA by providing a low stress environment to gain experience. Which in turn will hopefully get more people to get certified under CMUA. Once certified, it will provide umpires—whether minors or adults—with a primary or secondary source of income. (This does not refer to games that fall within your bond obligation) Fulfill your SBR Rockies volunteer bond of $250. Support your daughter’s coaches by relieving them of umpiring concerns, giving them more time to mentor your players. Count your umpired games toward an official, carded umpire designation. Set a great example—your kids and peers will remember your contribution to this initiative. Bond Fulfillment Requirements Commit to umpiring the majority of your player’s SBR Rockies home games (if a CMUA umpire is not assigned). If you are unavailable for a game, it is your responsibility—not the coaches’ or manager’s—to find a replacement (either another parent or a bonded umpire). If a sibling or family friend is fulfilling the role, they must be in the age group above the player’s division (e.g., must be 16+ to umpire a U15 game). Attend the mandatory 2–2.5 hour in-person training session provided by SBR and hosted by Jim Portman, President of the Calgary Minor Umpires Association. This session will build your confidence and cover key rules and on-field positioning. You’ll also receive CMSA and Softball Canada rulebooks. Reporting A member of the coaching staff or team manager will track which games are umpired by whom. This record will determine bond fulfillment at the end of the season.

LEARN TO PLAY Learn to Play aims to introduce all young children to the joy of softball in a fun, active and positive way. Our Learn to Play program helps little athletes to develop the foundational skills and build player confidence by providing many opportunities to touch the ball. We welcome all players born in 2019 & 2020 to participate in the 2026 softball season. What You Can Expect Players will work on skill development for the first 45 minutes followed by a 45 minute coach-pitch mini-game to introduce them to the concept of game play. This modified game introduction will set them up for league games when they enter the U9 division. Players will learn to: - Throw a softball - Catch a softball - Swing a bat - Hit a ball - Run the bases - Be part of a team - Have FUN! REGISTER FOR 2025 SEASON Try Before You Commit Each year, SBR hosts a ‘Come Try Softball’ event prior to the season kick off, where children are immersed in the fundamental skills of the game in a fun and interactive way. Watch for more information about how to register for this event on the website as well as on social media. COME TRY SOFTBALL Equipment Each player will receive a Rockies branded t-shirt and ball cap included in their registration fee. At the end of the season, they will also receive a sport medal. Players will provide their own: - Softball glove - Batting helmet with cage - Running shoes or baseball cleats - Fielder’s mask (optional at this age, but recommended to reduce fear of catching while building confidence in the skill) - Water bottle SBR provides bats for the players to use if they don’t have their own. A complete list of required and optional equipment can be found on the Equipment page. MORE ABOUT EQUIPMENT F.A.Q What is the cost? The cost is $150. When does registration close? Learn to Play (LTP) registration will close on April 15. When does the season start? The 2024 season will kick off on Tuesday, May 7 and finish by Thursday, June 27. How often do they play? LTP will play 2 days per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. What times do they play? Players should arrive and be ready to participate at 6:00PM. They will practice foundational skills for the first 45 minutes and then play a mini-game against another Rockies LTP team for the second half of the evening program. Which diamonds do we play at? The LTP program takes place at the Riverbend Diamonds near 180 Riverbend Dr SE. What happens to cancelled sessions (due to weather)? Cancelled games will not be rescheduled. On average, 1-2 evenings are cancelled due to weather. Where do I buy equipment? You can purchase most softball equipment at any major sporting goods store. What kind of glove should I look for? Make sure to purchase a softball glove (rather than a baseball glove) as they have a larger pocket to accommodate the larger softballs. Reminder: your child will wear their glove on the non-dominant hand! Eg. if your child writes (and throws) with their right hand, they'll wear the softball glove on their left hand. Look for a softer leather that your player can squeeze. Look for a glove that stays firmly on and easy to grip and release. If uncertain ask for assistance at the store. Make sure that the glove can fit an 10" softball. What size softball do they play with? LTP uses an 10” training softball, which has a bit more ‘squish’ compared to a regular softball and helps to build confidence while developing skills. Look for the Rawlings Reduced Injury Factor or 10” (NC10S) softballs. REGISTER FOR 2025 SEASON Need more help? Feel free to email the Learn to Play Coordinator at learntoplay@sbrsoftball.com

PLAYER TRANSFERS SBR Softball transfer policy aligns with the Calgary Minor Softball Association and the Softball Alberta player transfer policies. Please refer to the most up to date policies on their websites. 1. For league play, refer to the Calgary Minor Softball Association Official Rulebook.(https://calgaryminorsoftball.com/content/2025-rulebook) See Section 6 - Player Eligibility 2. For tiering, provincial and post-provincial play, see Softball Alberta Transfers: Player Transfer Policy. (https://www.softballalberta.ca/forms/transfers/) PLAYERS PLAYING UP SBR runs five divisions of softball for ages U9+. These divisions follow Softball Alberta’s Provincial divisions, A, B, C and D, with A being the highest level of softball an athlete can play in the province of Alberta. We acknowledge that while most players typically develop better within their age-appropriate category, we understand that exceptionally talented players may seek opportunities to compete in the next age category within the association. This policy governs the process and criteria for athletes wishing to try out for an older age category within SBR. Note that this policy is only applicable for players trying out for the Division A Teams of U13 and above, and not applicable for any athletes wanting to play an age division up for divisions B, C, or D. CRITERIA & PROCEDURES 1. Eligibility: • Players in U13 and up may evaluate for a higher age group. Players in U7, U9, and U11 are not eligible. • Athletes are eligible to try out for an older age category only if they are in the second year of their current age category. 2. Evaluation for Division ‘A’ Team: • To be considered for a Division ‘A’ team in the older age category, athletes must rank in the top 6 overall among players in that age category based on evaluator assessment at the ID Camp. This assessment includes technical skills, tactical understanding, physical abilities, and overall performance consistency. SBR Softball August 2024. Team Placement Consideration: • Placement on a team in an age category above where an athlete belongs is not guaranteed. Final decisions on team composition will be based on the head coach decisions of each age category. Procedure Overview: • Athletes interested in playing up should initiate the process by contacting the association via email at coordinator@sbrsoftball.com.(coordinator@sbrsoftball.com) (coordinator@sbrsoftball.com) • They will participate in the ID Camp for their selected age category. • Head coach will make the final decision for team placement. • Should the athlete not make the team for the older age category, they will be considered for Division A team placement on their current age category. MISSED EVALUATIONS At SBR, we take our player evaluations very seriously to ensure that players are placed on teams that best match their skills and mental maturity. In some instances, players are unable to attend either evaluation session, either due to injury, or scheduling conflicts. In this instance, SBR will use the following guidelines on player placement: 1. The players evaluation scores from the previous year will be used a. The Team Genius raw average will be used, and a new ranking based on the current year will be created. Ex: Player X had an average Subjective of 7.57 in 2022, with a Subjective ranking of 4, only the 7.57 Subjective would be used in 2023. A new ranking would be created using all 2023 players. b. If a player did not attend evaluations the previous year either, then the players’ previous year division placement will be used and the players evaluation scores will be entered as NA. Ex: Player X was Division 3 in 2022, then the recommendation from the board will be to place that player in Division 3 for 2023. The SBR Executive Board will approve and finalize the team roster at the player draft with the head coach. LATE REGISTRATION Starting February 1, 2024, South Bow River Softball will be implementing a Late Fee to all registrations for U11, U13, U15, U17, and U19 (with the discretion of the SBR Executive Committee).
