WESA COMMITTEES

For over 47 years, our community has come Together In Pride to build, nurture, and celebrate sport right here in our community. Our “Volunteering in Pride” ethos isn’t just about loving the game – it’s about cherishing the vital role WESA plays in fostering connections, promoting values, and securing a vibrant future for slo-pitch softball. Through volunteer efforts, we honor our rich history while paving the way forward.  let us know if you are interested in being a part of a WESA Committee by visiting our Volunteering page here.




We are a member-driven league. Nothing happens in WESA unless a member Makes It Happen.


MEMBERSHIP

The Membership Committee supports the Commission in keeping our values front and centre while we enjoy competitive play.

Ambassadors
Our members are our best source of gauging what is working.   This proposed program would see members assigned to each division to be there to answers questions for members and report to the Membership Committee any concerns from membership. 

Ethics
As a community organization and competitive sports league, there comes a need for some attention to managing conflict and ethics.  This committee recommends policy and reparative actions for rules and ethics violations.


ATHLETICS

The Athletics Committee are WESA members who put the playing season together including equipment, fields, game schedule, umpires, team managment, scorekeeping, and tournaments.

WESA Coach Squad 
Made up of our Team Managers, 2nd Coaches, and Clinic Lead Coaches, the Coach Squad are the bedrock of our league.

Equipment & Field Maintenance
Every bin and every diamond/field needs constant attention.  The Equipment Commissioner coordinates the resupply of the bins and the maintenance of our bases and gear.   And while Vancouver Parks is ultimately responsible for the fields, there is a lot to do to maintain them for our play each week of the season

Scorekeeping & Stats
Not only are there scores to keep track of but individual players stats come into play for the player skills assessments (SQs).  This committee organizes scorekeepers and stats entry for the league.  By far, our biggest volunteer needs come from scorekeeping games.

Season Scheduling
Taking many priorities into consideration, these members put the season together.

Pacific Cup Tournament
The annual Pacific Cup open tournament sees local and visiting teams converge on Vancouver for a fun weekend filled with competition and celebration of gay softball.

Pride Softball Canada Fierté Committee
Members:  Seán HC (Chair), Peter H, Tommy J, Patrick K
