Important Information For Your Coach
Important Information For Your Coach
Parents should ensure that the coach is aware of any special medical condition and what actions may be required.
Please note: WMSA is a recreational league and coaches are not responsible for children at the field. It is the parent's responsibility to have someone supervise their children at all times.
If puffers are used, please discuss with the coach appropriate use, to avoid overuse by players.
Food allergies should be communicated in private with the coach so that other parents are aware of food that is appropriate to bring for the team.
About the Referees
About the Referees

Please remember our referees are also young & learning the game. Mistakes will be made. Their decision is the one that counts and must be respected. Your encouragement will only help them develop.
If you have specific concerns about a referee, please speak with your coach who will pass on the information to the Division Convenor and in turn the Referee-in-Chief.

If a refund is requested before the season starts, a full refund (minus an administrative fee) will be granted.
If a player withdraws before the first few weeks of the season, a refund of 50% will be granted, provided the full uniform is returned.
No refunds will be granted after the first week of June.
Any player who registers with WMSA and tries out for a competitive team will receive a full refund if they make their competitive team and choose not to play in the WMSA.
Late registrations are subject to a non-refundable late fee of $20.
Reduce Barriers to Participation
Quality recreational opportunities are vital to the health and personal development of all children and youth. The Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) position paper Everybody Gets to Play™ - Recreation Without Barriers endorses the research that clearly demonstrates that recreation interventions are an effective and economical strategy to improve the lives of low-income families and their children.
KidSport
KidSport is a national not-for-profit organization that provides financial assistance for registration fees and equipment to kids aged 18 and under. Through a confidential application process, they provide grants so kids can play a season of sport.
Nationally, KidSport is comprised of a network of 11 provincial/territorial KidSport chapters and 166 community KidSport chapters. Since its creation in 1993, over 750,000 kids across the country have been given the chance to play sport through KidSport grants and sport introduction programming.

Jumpstart
Founded in 2005, Jumpstart Charities helps kids overcome financial and accessibility barriers to sport and recreation to provide inclusive play for kids of all abilities.
​
Jumpstart is more than just about getting kids active. It's about giving kids from families in financial need the same chance to participate as their neighbours, their classmates, and their friends. Whether it's the chance to try a new sport or to continue with a favourite one, no kid should be left out.
