Greetings everyone!
The PentaSport committee welcomes you to another season of PentaSport! This will be our 8th season, wowzors. We would like to welcome 2 new teams to the league, Tuesday Knights from Vancouver Chinese Alliance Church and EZBC from Evangelical Chinese Bible Church. Welcome to the family!
Thank you to all the captains and league reps that made it out to the meeting. A big thank you to all the volunteers this season because the season would not be able to run without all your help!
Before we get into some details for the season, we just want to remind you the mission and vision of this league:
MISSION: To provide a platform for Christian churches and those in the community to compete through recreation, to build relationships through sport, and to help those in need.
VISION: To cultivate unity and transform communities.
Let’s work together towards this mission and vision as the season progresses.
This season we’ll be playing basketball, soccer, handball, volleyball, and dodgeball. Some things to keep in mind during the season:
- Please be sure to check the time and LOCATION of your game. We stress the location part because there are quite a few venues being used and we don’t want you to go to the wrong one.
- Make sure you are wearing the correct colour (white or dark). Incorrect colours worn may result in a lower spirit point!
- Try to arrive 15 minutes earlier so that the transition to the next game will be smooth and we can start on time.
- There’s no eating in any of the gyms.
- Captains please submit an online spirit point form after your game for the opposing team(s) within 3 days.
- Make sure you are familiar with the rules for each sport. If you have questions on any of the rules, please let us know.
- League reps are there to help set up and facilitate the games. They are not REFEREES. All games are self-reffed so make sure you know the rules and don’t be shy to call teams out when a rule is broken.
- A player must play at least 3 regular season games to be eligible for playoffs.
- Teams have 2 weeks from the beginning of the season to make any minor changes to their roster.
- Saint Francis Xavier location: Do not park in the parkade. They put the chain up at night and your car may be stuck inside.
- Most important rule: Have fun!
Also, new to this season, each team captain will have 2 PentaSport membership cards that will grant you discounts at specific places. See here for a list of places you can use the card at https://pentasport.ca/
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact one of the committee members or shoot us an email. We are looking forward to seeing you all on the court tomorrow!
