Registration Late Fee Deadline
Register by February 28 to avoid the late fee.
Register your daughter now using online Registration at http://nsfastpitch.ca/registration. With the registration period 65% complete we have over 550 players signed up, and the division Coordinators are sharpening their pencils to start putting the teams together!
Make sure you've paid your fees to ensure your request for a team. Team forming requests are prioritized by payment date, not registration date. Players registering or paying after Feb 28 will be included in the second round of team forming and may not receive their requested teammates.
If you have not yet registered, visit our Registration page at http://nsfastpitch.ca/registration for more information including fees and financial assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wondering what division your daughter will play in, what days of the week games are scheduled for, or what our policy is on playing up? Check our FAQ for answers to these questions and more.
Read the FAQ on our website at http://nsfastpitch.ca/handbook/faq.
Criminal Record Checks
All coaches, assistant coaches, managers and members of the executive are required to have a criminal record check done and the results submitted to the NSGFA.
As part of our risk mitigation processes, North Shore Fastpitch requires all adults who are in a position of responsibility over our athletes to get a Criminal Record Check (CRC) done by the police. The results are reviewed by the VP Senior and VP Junior, and are kept on file and valid for three years with the association.
If you are planning on coaching or managing your daughter's team, please be proactive and get your CRC done before the season starts. Results must be mailed to: North Shore Girls Fastpitch Association, P.O Box 16059 at Shoppers Drug Mart, Lynn Valley Mall, 1199 Lynn Valley Road, North Vancouver, BC, Canada V7K 3H2.
North Vancouver residents must apply for a CRC in person at the RCMP detachment (147 East 14th Street, North Vancouver, 604-985-1311), and West Vancouver residents must apply at the West Vancouver Police (1330 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, 604-925-7300).
Please contact Sandy Karr (604-929-3715, vpjunior@nsfastpitch.ca) if you would like to confirm that you still have a valid CRC on file with the NSGFA.
