The
University of Calgary Fastball Program is set-up
to facilitate young women's ambitions to go to
University and play competitive collegiate
Fastball. The University of Calgary Dinos
Fastball Club is one of the founding team
members of the Alberta Intercollegiate Women’s
Fastball Association (AIWFA). Now called the
Western Collegiate Softball Association, the
league has six teams consisting of the
University of Calgary, SAIT Polytechnic, the
University of Saskatchewan, Briercrest College,
the University of Alberta and the University of
Regina.
As we are a club team, we
are required to raise funds for our travel and costs
during the season. As we are not fully funded by the
University, we rely on support from local businesses and
donors in order to offset individual player costs. Due
to the seasonal conditions in Western Canada, our season
is completed during the months of September and October
and we have indoor winter training throughout the winter
months. This year, we play 5 weekends of tournament play
within the league, finishing with playoffs, which will
be played in Moose Jaw the weekend of October 2-5th.
As we were champions of the WCSA in 2014, we have
qualified for National Championships this year which are
held in Oshawa, Ontario.
The
Fastball team asks you
to help us with a pledge to our program. We will be
playing a 100 inning Fastball game on Saturday October
24th, 2015. What I am asking of you is to
pledge some money for each inning we play. You can
easily donate online by filling out the
Pledge Sheet and then
email it to
fastball@ucalgary.ca
and then click on the " donate " button
below. Alternatively you can download the
Pledge Sheet which you
can then fill out and return with a cheque. Any amount of
donation will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much for
any support you are able to provide.
Leadership, Teamwork, Academic & Athletic Success
The University of Calgary Dinos have a long and storied
tradition of excellence and achievement in sport, the classroom, and community. Whether it’s the prestigious
Rhodes Academic Scholarship, Olympic medals, or
participating in the Calgary school children mentoring
program, Dinos student-athletes have done it all.
The Dinos invite you to play a role in the tradition of
excellence - join the Dino Annual Gifts program by “adopting”
a student-athlete. The Proud to be a Dino program is more than
a fundraiser, it is an opportunity for the community and
corporate sector to support a specific team, while at
the same time becoming involved with a student-athlete.
The University of Calgary places a great deal of
importance on the student-athletes’ whole university
experience. Your contribution will allow our
student-athletes to focus solely on maintaining their
academic and athletic success.
