2026 Outdoor Season Registration

​

For U9 and up, practice schedules are set by each team and may vary based on age, skill level, and parent/player feedback. Coaches may run additional weekly practices.

​

Indoor sessions in early April (post evaluations) help players get familiar with their teams, and a few outdoor practices may be scheduled before the season starts, weather permitting.

 

Home diamonds for U9 and up are located in various communities in northwest Calgary. Away games may take place in other parts of Calgary and surrounding areas for U9+.
