Preseason Vs. Exhibition games

This year we are changing the way preseason is done:

May 6, 11:00 AM. Will be for new players only, so we can evaluate all the new players to fill the vacant spots on each team. If you are joining the League, please remember to send an e-mail to chad@dollardmixedsoftball.ca to receive your registration package. Is mandatory to sign the waiver before coming to the field on May 6, 2018

May 13. Each team will get one hour practice time

May 20. We will have exhibition games, teams and time still to be determined so you don't need to fill in a preseason form.

Reminder: all forms and fees need to be in by April 30, on the contrary, your spot will be given to an enthusiastic new player.  If you are not coming back or  you want to be traded, please let us know by email.

If you are like most of us, and have a hard time remembering dates and times, you can add the DMSL Calendar to your Google account.

WE START 2018 REGISTRATION

Are you coming back for another season of DMSL softball? Yes? No? Please inform the President as soon as possible.

Fee structure for 2018:

$85.00 for DDO Residents
$95.00 for Non-Residents

All players from last year that are in good standing are guaranteed their spot in the league, but only if you get your form and fees in by the April 30, 2018 deadline. Failure to meet these two requirements will result in you not playing in 2018. Since all roster spots could end up getting filled. There are already more than 15 people waiting to join the league, so your spot can be lost if you don’t respond on time. Any forms received after April 30, 2018 will be rejected. The reason for this is that we are going to do an evaluation day for new players on May 6 and the teams will be finalized the week of May 7, 2018. Teams will have a practice on May 13, 2018 and an exhibition game May 20, 2018 weather permitting.

Here is what you do: 


  1. Please fill in the registration form and the waiver form electronically or print them out and fill them in and take a picture or scan them and email them to the president in order to save on all the printing out of paper. Please don't forget to sign waiver releases form. Please indicate the city where YOU currently live, not where your parents/relatives live or work deliberately false entries will invalidate your form and you will not be able to play this year, since the city does check every year. inging in DDO people created, one for DDO residents, and one for non-residents.

  3. If you know of someone who has expressed an interest in joining, please email their name, gender, phone number and city of residence.

This priority list will be in two parts: - a DDO resident list and a non-resident list. While priority for newcomers will go to DDO residents, there are usually some non-resident positions available every season.
