Since the turn of the century (2000), the largest co-ed slo-pitch league in Canada has regularly contributed funds for Langley Township's playing fields and facilities, and, in particular, McLeod Athletic Park and Aldergrove's Brown Road Park, where LMSP teams play their games throughout the spring, summer and fall. On Sept. 23, Zeller, LMSP vice president Guy Olsson, treasurer Kelly Reisig, secretary Denise Hill and Slo-Pitch National (SPN) regional director Jay Tourangeau were at MAP with another giant cardboard cheque in hand for Langley Township Mayor Kurt Alberts. In 2005, Canada’s largest Slo-Pitch organization, Slo-Pitch National (SPN), stated the City of Kelowna Sport & Rec. Co-ed Slo-Pitch league, the #2 largest league in Canada with 125 teams, one less then Langley, B.C.! Although the final numbers for 2006 have not yet been determined, another increase in registration was experienced that may have put Kelowna into the #1 spot in the country! Games Rules: Rule 1.Waivers / Player Registration a) All players must register before playing their first game. b) Any player that subs in (even if only for one game) must fill out a waiver prior to playing. Captains are responsible to ensure that this is done by checking out their online roster. Rule 2.Weather Policy a) In general, the league would like to cancel as few games as possible as there is little room in the schedule to be adding more games. Unfortunately, we live in Alberta where the weather changes frequently and in extremes. Games will only be canceled by the league in cases of extreme weather or unsuitable field conditions. Teams are expected to play through some light drizzle and chilly days. b) On the rare occasion that we do cancel games, we will provide captains with notice of cancellation by 5pm on game day. If we do not cancel games, both teams are expected to show up to the field at the scheduled game time. If 20 minutes passes and weather or field conditions are not suitable for the game to be played, the captains may then decide to call the game, in which case the game will be rescheduled. If one team does not show or does not have enough players to field a team, the game will be considered a default by them and will not be rescheduled. If both teams do not show or do not have enough players then the game will be recorded as a 0-0 tie and not be rescheduled.
