Most of you are no doubt well aware of the existence of the Alberta Inter-collegiate Women's Fastball Association (AIWFA). The AIWFA league and championship schedule runs from the Labour Day weekend to the Thanksgiving weekend (and possibly one week beyond Thanksgiving - TBA).

We would really appreciate it if you would mention the AIWFA to your players who plan to attend post-secondary institutions in Alberta this fall and are interested in playing college/university level women'sfastball. With only a few exceptions, all AIWFA players must be students at their respective institutions. There is a possibility that a select very few Grade 12 players, and/or players from post secondary institutions that do not have a women's fastball program, MAY be permitted to play for AIWFA teams that may otherwise not be able to field a complete competitive team.

The nine institutions in the AIWFA this fall are;

Mount Royal College - MRC
University of Calgary - UofC
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology - SAIT
Red Deer College - RDC
Olds College - OC
University of Alberta (Gold) - UoA(Green) - Edmonton
University of Alberta (Green) - uofA(Gold) - Edmonton
University of Lethbridge - UofL
University of Regina - UofR

Specifically, if any of your players are planning to attend Mount Royal College this fall, and are interested in playing university/college level women's fastball, I would appreciate hearing from you or them.

If any of your players are planning to attend any other institutions in the above list, they can visit the AIWFA website at www.aiwfa.ca to get contact information for the coaching staff of that institution.

Thanks very much.
