What's New

Winter Clinics

BatterOnce again the WGSA, through the organizational and instructional skills of our dedicated president, Stacy Novack, and our dedicated Select convenor, Al Betts, is pleased to offer to our members the opportunity to hone your softball skills through a number of clinics over the course of the winter. These clinics are a great value as the cost works out to under $7 per girl per week in order to cover the cost of the gym rental.

Please note that these clinics are only open to those girls who have registered for the 2010 softball season. All clinics will take place at the Oshawa YWCA (at the corner of Simcoe St S and McGrigor Ave) on Sundays. The first clinics begin on Sunday, January 10th. Players can attend one or many sessions. Please note that we may adjust the clinics depending upon the demand we see in the next couple of weeks.

These clinics are a great value as the cost works out to less than $7 per girl per week in order to cover the cost of the gym rental. (The rental cost has gone up since last year.) So, each 6-week session is only $40.

Session 2 2 - 3 pm Jan 10 - Feb 14
Session 3 1 - 2 pm Feb 28 - Apr 4

Select Tryouts (Tentative)

Lightning LogoWhitby Girls Softball Association has been fielding very competitive Select Teams in all divisions for a number of years and the upcoming season will be no different. Select softball is a program where teams representing their league play against teams from other towns. The games are on weekends with extra practices, travelling and expenses being involved.

All registered House league players from Sr Mite to Midget are invited and urged to try out for a Select Team in their age group. It is a great way to play some competitive ball, meet teams from others areas surrounding the GTA and, most importantly, have FUN.

Please come out to one of our Select tryouts:
