Hello Players and Coaches
The Umpire Association has brought to my attention that there are players drinking on the playing area of the ball diamonds and the bench area this is against our league rules as well as the City Of Edmonton's
The City of Edmonton could pull our license and close these diamonds to our league
The Umpires will be expelling players if this continues starting this coming Tuesday
The Association has also stated that there has been some verbal abuse to their Umpires. this is not acceptable and players will be expelled if this persists.
Remember they are human and they sometimes make mistakes but so do we all, they have been trained by their association to know Canada Softballs Rules not other association. Not all of our teams know the Softball Canada rules, so make sure you know what you are angry about. if there are issues please send Craig or Sandi an email so that we can bring it to the umpire association so that they can fix the issue. If we don't know there is an issue the Umpire association will not know
Please help us with these issues as we do not what to lose our umpires or our diamonds
Thank you
