SBR ROCKIES PURPLE & GOLD ID CAMP 2027 SEASON PURPLE & GOLD ID CAMP Our ID camp held on September 11-13, 2026 at Glamorgan Diamonds. FAQs Purpose: The Rockies Player ID camp identifies athletes that would like to compete for our Rockies Purple and Gold teams, as well as a potential to compete at the A and B Level tournaments in the 2027 season. The selected athletes will train together throughout the off season alongside SBR coaches and specialized facilitators. Players are welcome outside of our SBR catchment zones to play in our Purple and Gold teams. Player age groups for this camp will be as follows: U13 (birth year 2014 and 2015) U15 (birth year 2012 and 2013) U17 (birth year 2010 an d 2011) U19 (birth year 2008 and 2009) Team Selection The U13 and U15 Purple and Gold team rosters will be selected at the completion of the ID camp. Each team will select 11-13 players. For U17 and U19, we will be looking at a similar concept for teams but will depend on the number of athletes trying out for those age groups. Teams will train together over the off-season in preparation for the 2027 ball season (i.e. all U13 Purple and Gold players will train together, and coaches will work collaboratively. ) Winter Training Costs While we are awaiting final amounts for facilities, training opportunities, and other costs, we wanted to provide an estimate of costs for the winter training sessions. We are anticipating a cost of approximately $800 - $1100 per player for the 2026 season. This price estimate includes player registration for the 2026 season, facility rentals, camp apparel, and specialty instructor costs. Both the Purple and Gold teams will be playing in Calgary Minor Division 1, or the Rep Division which also incurs an extra fee through Calgary Minor. This fee for 2025 was $57.50 per player; however, this fee is subject to being increased on an actual cost and will not be finalized until the 2026 season. Division 1 players will be notified of the fee during the 2027 season. Please note that the costs as noted above are approximate and overestimated costs. PURPLE/GOLD ID CAMP - FAQS Purple and Gold ID CAMP My player is unable to participate in the ID camp on the specified dates but would like to be considered for either the Purple or Gold team. There is no secondary date. If you have a conflict, please reach out to coordinator@sbrsoftball.com At what levels will Purple and Gold programming be offered? Can my player still make the Purple or Gold team if they cannot make the Fall 2025 ID camp? How will these teams compete in Calgary Minor divisions? What will tournament play look like? Is my player allowed to evaluate at a higher age group than they are supposed to play in? How will the coaches of the Purple and Gold teams be selected? When will I be notified if my player has made the Purple or Gold level team?

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

They also deserve a coach that will provide the best atmosphere for them to improve as much as they are willing to put effort into their own development. Division 1 teams consist of athletes that are highly competitive in nature that want to get the most they can out of softball. They will be challenged by the coaches to improve every time they are on the field and so must be able and willing to accept advanced instruction and feedback. This requires a full commitment from the family and the athlete. MORE ABOUT DIV 1

Discover how volunteers fuel the spirit of girls softball! Explore our page to learn about opportunities, benefits, and how you can make a difference in shaping young athletes' futures. Join our passionate community today! VOLUNTEERS SBR Softball Association is run exclusively by VOLUNTEERS. As our club continues to grow, a continued commitment from our members is necessary for our club to be able to operate effectively. The purpose of the Volunteer Bond is to encourage more of our membership to become actively involved in making our association the best it can be. Every registered player will be required to provide SBR with a Volunteer Bond. Each player must fulfill one (1) role or shift from the approved list. This bond is a commitment to provide service or money towards the operation and continued success of the organization. A Volunteer Bond Agreement must be signed, electronically at time of registration, and a post-dated cheque made out to SBR Softball for July 31 of the current season year in the amount of $450 per player will be required at the player's evaluation or uniform pick-up. Players without a signed agreement and cheque will be unable to pick-up uniforms. It is important that the cheque includes the first and last name of the player. Your cheque will be destroyed at the end of the season once you have fulfilled your volunteer commitment. If a family does not fulfill their volunteer commitment by Aug. 31 of the current season, their bond will be cashed. This volunteer commitment is manditory and will be enforced. Those who have not complied will not be able to register for the following season until their volunteer bond commitment is met through service or payment. Volunteer Role or Shift Required Each player bond must be fulfilled by working an approved Role or Shift. Below is a list of approved volunteer roles, shifts and opportunities. All approved "shifts" are one shift per player bond. Some approved "roles" are per player, ie Team Umpire. Other approved "roles" are per family (2+ players per household), ie Committees. Roles and Shifts cannot be carried over to the following season as we need continued help from year to year. Opting Out Families may choose to opt out of the Volunteer Bond Agreement during registration or opt out of the Volunteer Bond by indicating this choice on the Agreement Form at Evaluations or Uniform Pick-up. They must include a $350 cheque dated for the current date, not post-dated. This cheque will be cashed within 30 days. This will exempt them from performing volunteer activities at the association level, but not team volunteering. If a family volunteers after they have opted out of the Volunteer Bond, they will not be refunded. Note: There will be a $25 administration fee for NSF cheques. It is the sole responsibility of the family to seek out approved opportunities to ensure they fulfill their bond commitment. Opportunities can be found below, as well opportunities may be emailed to the SBR membership. Volunteers will be taken on a first come, first served basis.

Place the emotional and physical well being of my players ahead of a personal desire or external pressure to win.

Teach athletes to play fairly and to respect the rules, officials, opponents, other coaches, and volunteers. Do my best to provide a safe playing environment for the athlete. Ensure that all athletes get equitable instruction, support and playing time. Remember that athletes need a coach they can respect. I will be generous with praise and set a good example. Work in cooperation with officials. Not ridicule or yell at my athletes, coaches or officials for making mistakes. Support all efforts to remove verbal and physical abuse from sporting activities. Obtain proper training and continue to upgrade my coaching skills. Role model the appropriate behaviours. Yelling at athletes, coach and umpires is prohibited. Give equal access to infield/outfield, not in the same position all the time, batting order will also be rotated.

SBR ROCKIES U9 TEAMS Teams will be posted once announced.

The objective of the Evaluations process is to identify all the players in an age category that fit into the top third of the group, the middle third of the group and the bottom third. EVALUATIONS METHODOLOGY Our Responsibility At SBR, we take the responsibility to provide a fair and transparent evaluation process for all players very seriously. The objective of the Evaluations process is to identify all the players in an age category that fit into the top third of the group, the middle third of the group and the bottom third. No teams have been pre-selected prior to all evaluation sessions being completed. The players selected at the ID Camp the previous fall are not automatically placed on the Division 1 team. They must evaluate at the same time and the same way as all other SBR players. How Do We Evaluate? All registered players must attend at least one evaluation session. Players may attend a second evaluation session if they feel they didn’t perform at their best AND there is capacity in the second session. A fee of $30 will be charged for the second session. That player’s overall score will be used. We do not use the best score at each station, simply the best “day”. We have 4 stations that assess the following skills: Fielding ground balls Throwing accuracy Fielding pop flies Hitting Each station has 2 - 4 evaluators assessing performance and collecting scores for each player according to a pre-set rubric. The Objective evaluators score the attempt at a station (eg. whether they hit the ball). Subjective evaluators score the overall performance of an athlete at one station (eg. do they use proper mechanics to field the ball). At times, we have coach observers on the field taking notes and watching all players' behavior and level of interest, specifically for the Division 1 teams. SBR leadership team members participate in the evaluations as well, either as evaluators or observers. If a player cannot attend either evaluation session, their evaluation scores from the previous year as well as coach ranking will be used (please see Missing Evaluations process for more information) Team Selection & Drafts Following Evaluations, each player is ranked based on the combined weighted average of their objective and subjective scores across all evaluators. Players ranking in the top 25 within each age group are provided to the Division 1 Coach to review and select between 15-25 players to come back for a second look. Callbacks are usually run more like a practice and allow the Division 1 coach to see how the players interact with each other and evaluate their technical competency and game sense. Once the Division 1 team is selected, the Board Executive tiers the remaining players onto Division 2 and Division 3 teams. The Board Executive conducts team creation in this manner to ensure that players who have earned the right to be at a certain level can play at that level.
