Basketball Update

Posted on Updated on by waaadminCategories:Basketball, Sign-ups

We have gotten word that we will be having a basketball season this year, although it looks as if it will be competitive divisions only (WMCYO). We normally offer instructional (Biddy) as well, but there has been no communication that this league will be holding a season and we anticipate that they will not.

For competitive divisions, we will have Basketball signups open online *Registration Website* beginning October 11.

In Person signups will be held at the Christ Presbyterian Church (1597 Allen St) on Saturday, October 16 from 12:30 P.M. to 2:30 P.M. and on Friday, October 22 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

We will be following all of the Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines. Masks will be mandatory and spectators may be limited at basketball practices and games.

*We are in need of coaches. Please let us know if you’re interested. Equipment and practice locations are provided.*

Update on the 2021-2022 Basketball Season

Posted on by waaadminCategories:Basketball, Organizational, Sign-ups

Hello Wilshire families!

Many of us have already begun to look forward to this year’s winter basketball season. We are currently waiting to hear back from the league on whether a season will be possible this year. We are still hopeful that the kids will be able to play and we are waiting on guidance on how to move forward. Please note that if there is a season, it is highly likely that masks will be mandatory, and there is a possibility that spectators may be limited. We are making every attempt to keep the kids active and playing the safest way possible and will need to follow the rules that both the city and league issue. Please continue to check our Facebook page and/or website as we will be providing updates on registration as soon as we have more information.

*We are currently looking for basketball coaches. Please contact us if you might be interested. Equipment/practice locations will be provided. *

2021 Spring Soccer Update

Posted on by waaadminCategories:Organizational, Spring Soccer, Spring Sports

We are still awaiting word from the SYSL if Soccer will be holding a Season this spring including any details so we can keep those interested informed.

We do know this. If they do have a season, we will need to follow all the guidelines that the CDC, HEALTH DEPT and SYSL put in place for spring sports.

We also would need to follow all the rule changes that are in place for soccer games! Things like NO HEAD BALLS ALL DIVISIONS, NO THROW IN, CORNER KICKS, AND MORE.

In the 10U and 12U there would be no playoffs as that is considered tournament play and that is still a NO in the CDC guidelines for all sports. SYSL would be looking to start the season mid-late April(19th or 26th) with a 8 game schedule for the season in all divisions.

Please stay tuned as we continue to find out more information. We will be basing how we proceed as an organization regarding soccer of of that and will be transparent throughout.

COVID-19 Spring Sports

Posted on Updated on by waaadminCategories:Organizational, Sign-ups, Spring Sports

As we approach the restart of Youth Sports with Wilshire Athletic Association, we want to make sure all parents understand the guidelines that have been put in place by the CDC as well as the sports leagues we play for. Players will need to:

  • Bring your own equipment, like gloves, head gear, helmets, water bottles, and bats, if possible, to limit shared equipment.
  • Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arm lengths) from other players when possible.
  • Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth to help protect yourself and others.
  • Clean or sanitize your hands before and after practices, games, and sharing equipment.

Players and spectators will need to keep in compliance with the rules that will be set forth by the league where we play. Facemask must always be worn properly and if a player continuously violates the facemask policy they will be removed from the field of play for the remainder of the game. If a subsequent violation occurs, they will be removed from the team. Due to the ever- changing conditions there is the possibility that there will be restrictions on the number of parents/guardians/spectators allowed at the practices and games.  Our refund policy will remain the same as it has always been.

*Reg must be paid in full in order to receive a spot-on roster. No uniforms will be given without full payment.  We are under a very tight timeline so there will not be any payment plans available.

Refund Policy

  • Any player notifying the board before uniforms are ordered will receive a 100% refund of their registration fee.
  • Any player notifying the board after uniforms have been ordered will receive a 50% refund of their registration fee.
  • Any player notifying the board after games have started will not receive any refund of their registration fee.

We will be opening our online registration for baseball today for children ages 7 to 12 only.  It will be open until Wednesday March 17th at which time we have to notify the league of how many teams we will have.  We are still waiting to hear from the soccer league but anticipate that we will be doing those registrations later this month for approximately the same ages.  We hope to see you back out on the field this season!

Skills Session Update

Posted on by waaadminCategories:Fall Soccer

We will sadly have to cancel the last two skills and drills sessions for the season (Oct 17th & Oct 24th). With Springfield falling and remaining in the “Red” category, and the City announcing a 2 week suspension of school sports, the Board has decided that we must follow suit. We will always put the health and safety of our players first. We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to offer these practice sessions to the community and will continue to think of creative ways to get kids active and moving.

We are hoping to have the ability to offer spring sports, so please be sure to check in on our Facebook page or website over the next couple of months. We will continue to follow the guidance of our City & State leaders and have high hopes that we’ll all be back on the fields soon. We wish you all a healthy and happy winter. See you in the Spring!
