Regular Season Refund Policy

We understand that sometimes life happens and circumstances might require your child to withdraw from our program.  If that happens, here is how refunds work:

• If you withdraw prior to the Evaluation date, your Registration Fees will be refunded in full less a $30 Administrative Fee.
• If you withdraw after the Evaluation date, your Registration Fees will be refunded in full less a $30 Administrative Fee and the $40 Evaluation Fee (if your player evaluated).
• If you withdraw after the season has started (including pre-season practices), a pro-rated refund of Registration Fees will be granted less a $30 Administrative Fee and the $40 Evaluation Fee (if your player evaluated).

Baseball is an emotional sport and passionate responses from players, coaches and parents is understandable.  North Regina has implemented a 24-Hour Cool Down Policy to help defuse emotional situations and minimize heated confrontations.  We believe it’s in everyone’s best interest if we take some time to cool down and approach the situation with a calmer perspective.  For that reason, coaches are advised not to engage in discussion with a spectator about an incident or situation that occurred during the game until at least 24 hours later.  As a spectator, we request that you not approach a coach to discuss an incident or situation until everyone has had a chance to cool down.

By having everyone respect the 24-Hour Cool Down Policy, we believe concerns can be fully discussed and a suitable solution can be reached.  This helps preserve the respectful, family atmosphere at our park and increases our player’s enjoyment of the game.

We can and do play baseball in the rain but we always put player safety first.  If a thunderstorm is approaching and lightning can be seen, it is advisable to vacate the diamond immediately.

We strive to assess diamond conditions by 4 PM each weekday. At that time, North Regina Little League will decide whether games will proceed, be delayed, or be canceled.

During the play of a game, the decision to suspend or prematurely end the game due to lightning is at the discretion of the umpires, the league, or the clubhouse manager. It is crucial to remain calm during thunderstorms to prevent panic among younger players. If anyone at the game believes lightning has occurred, they should immediately inform a team coach, who will notify the umpires. The decisions made by the umpires and league officials must be accepted and respected by all parents.

Play cannot resume until 30 minutes have passed since the last sighting of lightning. If the thirty-minute period expires without a re-occurrence of lightning, the game shall resume.

Please note:

1. These calls may be made last minute.  The weather in Saskatchewan is very unpredictable.

2. Always Assume the Game is to be Played: If the League has not contacted you, check the website and Facebook page. If there is no message about cancellation, proceed to your game location.

3. Rescheduling Rained-Out Games: The Scheduler will work diligently to reschedule any rained-out games as quickly as possible.  Coaches are not to re-schedule the games on their own.

North Regina Little League wishes to inform you that high-risk air quality (Level 7 or higher) will be considered unplayable conditions, and all games will be canceled if this determination is made 60 minutes before game start time.

When play is occurring under an Air Health Quality Index of 1-6, all coaches and spectators are advised to be vigilant for symptoms of poor air quality affecting any individual present, including players, coaches, umpires, and spectators. Symptoms include coughing, dry eyes/nose/mouth, aggravation of asthma, difficulty breathing, chest pains, irregular breathing patterns, wheezing, shortness of breath, and uncomfortable awareness of breathing. If symptoms arise, individuals should seek shelter indoors as soon as possible. Experiencing three or more symptoms, or severe forms of any symptom, may warrant seeking medical help. North Regina Little League encourages anyone identifying an emergency to call 9-1-1 immediately.

North Regina Little League supports any player's and their family's decision to be absent from an event due to health concerns, especially if underlying medical conditions exist. We strongly encourage openness with the team’s coaches and umpires if a player chooses to attend despite concerns, and request that a parent or guardian remain in attendance with the player to monitor their well-being. The parent or guardian is responsible for supervising and administering any required medications for the player.

Playing in a Canadian Little League Championship is a dream for many children. Often players
will join a little league later in their baseball career in order to have an opportunity to play in a
national championship. Although we encourage this, we also want to protect the loyal players
who have played Little League all the way through. With this in mind, the following policy is in
effect immediately for the formation of all All-Star teams.

• 80% of the team must be players who have played Little League the season prior. This
  includes North Regina, Kiwanis and Moose Jaw Little League. This also includes
  players who are new to Regina or new to baseball.
• 20% of the team may be players who played for a different baseball league the
  season prior, up to a maximum of 3 players. Board approval is required to increase
  this maximum.

Rosters for tournament play are as follows:
▪ Minor|Major|Intermediate|Junior – min is 12 players, max is 14 players
▪ Senior – min is 12 players, max is 16 players

Coaches must coach at North Regina for two consecutive years in order to head coach
an All-Star Team. Board approval is required to waive this requirement.
