To make sure that our return to the diamond is as safe and responsible as possible, we're reinstating our Covid protocols for this season. Players will be required to provide proof of vaccination (at least 2 doses - with the exception of those who are medically exempt) and agree to a code of conduct, which outlines illness reporting responsibilities. Both of which will be required at the time of registration.

Hand sanitizer will be provided at each game, along with sanitizing wipes for equipment, we have also invested in more catching gear so that players will not have to share. We encourage players to communicate with their team if they feel unwell ahead of a game, in which case they can withdraw from the game at any time without risk of a late-notice strike against their attendance. 

--------

We offer subsidized league fees to those who require them. Please email info@notsoamazon.com if you need to discuss the amount of the league fees. - All details will be kept entirely confidential. 

If you're having trouble processing your payment info when registering, you can click on Skip/Pay-later but you will need to email us within 48 hours so we can help secure your spot, otherwise, it will be open to another player.

----------

We play 14 games from 30th of April to September 2023.  We do not play on long weekends or on Pride Weekend. We ask that anyone who does not believe they will make at least 60% (8) of our games, to please reconsider leaving the spot to someone who can commit to more games.

This year we're re-implementing a buddy system for Notso's to feel safer in the washroom. You can read about the role of a buddy via the link below, and if comfortable, volunteer to be a buddy during registration!

Reps and Mentors

Our league would not be able to run without the selfless dedication of our fantastic reps and mentors. We ask that anyone who is interested in stepping up as a Rep or a Mentor, to please consider indicating that on your registration. Being a Rep/Mentor is an incredibly rewarding experience that helps bring an entire team and community together. 

As a team rep you will be asked to keep track of your teams attendance each week, report any need for subs to the team co-ordinators, create the rosters and field positions for each week, field any questions that arise during the game as well as assign base coaches and score keepers.

As a mentor you will be asked to monitor team spirit amongst your players, help out if any players are struggling with any aspect of the game, and promote a general positive environment for your team.
