PWSA Updates March

March is upon us… which means we are another step closer to the start of the 2025 outdoor season. We know that our member associations have been hard at work both off the field, and with their teams winter training. Our PWSA members have also been hard at work planning our qualifier and provincial events for the summer, along with numerous other administrative tasks.

Affiliations

Early affiliation is always a good idea, and we continue to encourage our teams to have their parents/athletes register on the MRS system, and complete their rosters. Once completed the roster needs to be reviewed by a PWSA member, and then assuming no issues the team certificate of insurance is provided shortly afterwards. We remind everyone that in order to take the field once the outdoor season commences, the certificate is required to participate in member events (league play, tournaments, etc.)

Championship Tournament Information

We thank all the member associations that have stepped up to offer to host our provincial championship events this summer. Details on dates and locations are available on our championship page. Once the affiliation deadline has passed, teams will be slotted into qualifier events (if applicable), and regional events at an upcoming PWSA board meeting. Until the affiliation deadline has passed, we can’t confirm what location your team will be asked to attend (this is because we don’t know 100% all the teams that will comprise age categories).

Mental Health Support

We are happy to have published a new page this month on our website, dedicated to providing our members with information on mental health and wellness. The page contains a number of links (via Coach.ca) in the community that people can leverage for help and advice if needed.
