PBSA SOFTBALL

PBSA administers softball playing opportunities for girls ages 4 to 19, with an emphasis on FUN, FRIENDSHIP, and FITNESS.

PBSA is a member of the South Vancouver Island Fastpitch Softball Association (SVI), playing under Softball BC rules. SVI includes parks throughout the South Island from Sooke to Duncan.

Team formation depends on registration numbers and skill levels in each age group. Most divisions currently play at the C level, with B level opportunities available when there is sufficient player and coach interest.
