Note:  Each secondary school has five spots max.  There is a max capacity of 60 players for each camp.  Adjustments will be made at a later date if needed.  Form and payment due BEFORE Spring Break.

Spring League

We would like to once again run a Spring League.

April – May, 2010 (Tuesday & Wednesday)

Last year, we ran from April 7 to May 27 on Tuesdays (two sites) and Wednesdays (one site).  Cost was $22 per game but that may have to be adjusted.  12 schools participated.  Those schools from out of Vancouver had to travel.  U14 & U15 zone teams played on a limited basis.  League open to players from Grades 8-11

If you are interested , please let us know the following:

Please let us know ASAP.  At least one school from out-of-district wants to participate but preference will be given to Vancouver schools first.

Interested teams – please email Mike or Mitra at mevans@vsb.bc.ca or mtshan@vsb.bc.ca.
