About Us
Founded in 2016, Calgary Boys Fastpitch is a subcommittee of the Calgary Minor Softball Association and the organizational body for the boys softball program in Calgary and the surrounding areas. Prior to 2016, the boys fastpitch softball program for boys under 12 in Calgary was supported by the geographically determined districts within Calgary Minor. The older boys program was operated by Calgary Minor under the Young Men’s Fastpitch League. Both of these programs were heavily supported in recent years by NoseCreek Softball. For a number of logistical reasons, it was decided in 2015 that all of the boys softball teams in Calgary should be brought under one umbrella. We are that umbrella.
Calgary Boys Fastpitch provides fastpitch softball programs for boys aged 8 to 16 (as of December 31 of the previous year). Boys who have turned 17 will be directed to teams at Calgary Industrial Softball Association.
Calgary Minor Softball is divided into several districts (rather than individual communities). Calgary Boys Fastpitch become the official ‘district’ for the boys program in December of 2015. All of our bylaws, association rules, and meetings are open to the membership. We are a non-profit organization run entirely by dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers have been involved with fastpitch softball or baseball at many different levels within the City of Calgary for many years. Our primary objective is to provide a fun, safe, and educational youth fastpitch softball program with an emphasis on teamwork and skill development. Our ultimate goal is to encourage these boys to be active and healthy for life.
Our organization offers softball programs for boys from age 8 to 17. Our program is City-wide Mite to Bantam plus. At this time, we do not offer a full Midget program. We do not currently have enough boys teams to operate as a league independent from the girls. Therefore, as league rules dictate, our U14 (Pee Wee) boys play up an age category against other U14 boys and U16 (Bantam) girls. Our U17 (Bantam+) boys play up an age category against other U17 boys and U19 (Midget) girls. At times, we are only able to field one U14 and one U17 boys team, in which case the boys play against girls teams only. With the recent reorganization of the boys program, we are hoping to return registration numbers to a point where the boys program can operate independently of the girls program. We do not operate a Learn-to-Play (LTP) program. Any boys wishing to register in LTP should register within their geographical district. Information about districts can be found at www.calgaryminorsoftball.com.
We at Calgary Boys Fastpitch host a number of fastpitch softball related events and activities over the course of the year, beginning with skill specific clinics in January. Spring Training takes place (primarily indoors) in March and April. Regular season games are twice a week beginning in May and culminating in City Championships at the end of June for U10, U12, and U14 teams and the beginning of July for U17 teams. In September, we offer a fun fall skills clinic for all ages.
For questions about registration, please contact our registrar.
For all other inquiries, please contact our committee chair.
See you out on the diamonds in 2017!
