We want to host a Jamboree - where do we start?

Tournaments, which declare “winners”, are not recommended for children under 10 years old. Instead the Timbits Softball program suggests hosting an end of season “Fun Day”.

Softball Canada encourages every Timbits Softball group to hold a “Fun Day” for their players at some point during their sessions (either in the middle or at the end). “Fun Day” is a perfect opportunity to get families together and interacting with one another on the field.  It also gives the children a special opportunity to display any new skills they have learned during their sessions. 

Hold a BBQ, have station based games and activities or try some achievement tests! Provide prizes for all players at the end of the “Fun Day” session (we do not encourage individual rewards, as some children may be discouraged if they do not receive one) - prizes could include stickers, pins, certificates, hats, etc.

I want to volunteer with my local Timbits Softball program, how can I do that?

Volunteers are always needed for the Timbits Softball program! We encourage all parents to take an active part in their child’s softball experience. Check with your local softball association (VVCC) to learn more information on how to get involved!
