A note about Thursday play: The Thursday division is intended to be more competitive than Sundays, and with that comes a greater emphasis on player safety, game flow, and consistency of play. To help ensure a positive and safe experience for everyone, players registering for Thursdays should feel comfortable with the following:

  • Ability to throw between bases
  • Catching and fielding balls hit at moderate speed (including balls that reach the outfield)
  • Making consistent contact while batting (approximately 50% of the time)
  • A solid understanding of the rules of the game
  • Prior softball or baseball playing experience

If a player registers for Thursdays and, once play begins, it becomes clear that the division is not the best fit from a safety or experience standpoint, the Board will connect with the player to discuss options. Wherever possible, we will work with the player to support a transition into the Sunday division, where appropriate. If a transition is not possible or not desired, a full refund will be provided.
 

Substitute Player - $75

  • Intended for members with less than 70% availability
  • Includes jersey and membership card
  • Coaches will reach out to this pool of players FIRST when in need of pick-up players
  • Eligible for playing in Sunday and Thursday (if desired)
  • Included in all clinics, field days and Week 11 games
  • Eligible for all gameplay (covered by league insurance)

Non-Playing Member - $55 

  • Intended for members who want to be a part of the league socially
  • Included in all SCISA related events, fundraisers and socials
  • Option to be (or not to be) drafted to a team for social purposes
  • Includes jersey and membership card
  • Not eligible for gameplay (not covered by league insurance)

Additional Registration Notes/FAQs: 

  • The waitlist is season-specific, so if you do not come off the waitlist this year, you will need to re-register next year.
  • If registration is full, we will go to a waitlist. We STRONGLY encourage you to join the waitlist. Each year many players are called up. You will not have to pay until you are contacted to join
  • If you register as a Sunday and/or Thursday player, you do not need to register as a Substitute Player as well. You will still be eligible to play as a pick-up player, but first option will go to those official Substitute Players
  • Rainbow Substitute and Non-Playing Member jerseys will be sold separately after registration. Do NOT register for the sake of getting a jersey
  • If you wish to play in Thursdays and Sundays, you must register for both
  • In order for "Buddies" to be honoured, they must be reciprocal, meaning that you each enter each other's names. We will do our best to address any outliers, but please talk to your intended "buddy" first and make sure you both list eachother in the registration process
