Registration [2020 Season Cancelled]
COVID-19 and the 2020 Softball Season
The City of Ottawa recently announced that their sports fields (including the ones used by the BCS league) are now closed until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The league recently met (online) to discuss how we should proceed in light of the pandemic, and we have come to the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 season now given the uncertain timelines involved. This is in keeping with our tradition of “The Player Always Comes First”, and the family nature of the league. We came to this conclusion at this point in time in the interest of player safety and in the belief that a timely refunding of any registration fees that have already been paid is in the best interests of our families.
The league is in the process of developing a non-contact refund plan of the registration fees based on the method of payment whether it be cash, cheque or e-transfer. Further details will be published on this site in the upcoming week. Please note that the league already has your contact details, as they were provided on your registration forms.
Registration deadline April 15.
Message from League President
The 2020 season has NOT been cancelled at this time. Like everyone we are waiting for better directions from the city and public health officials. Your safety and that of your family are our first priority. We are currently accepting registrations using the two methods described below. These funds will be held in trust and full refunds will be given in the event the season is cancelled.Continue to check our website for up to date information. David Vesey President BCS
