The wait is finally over. Pentasport Spring 2018 season begins TOMORROW! Are you as excited as we are? Of course 🙂 This season will be the 7th season of Pentasport, oh how time flies when you’re having fun. This season we want to welcome back ICRC and also a couple of new churches, Burnaby Alliance Church, Tapestry, and New Life to the league! We know you’ll fit in perfectly with the Pentasport family.
We want to thank all the captains and league reps that made it out last Tuesday for our meeting. It was great to see new and familiar faces after a long break! The league could not happen if we didn’t have all your help, so a big thank you to all the volunteers!
Before we get into more details, we just want to remind you the reason why this league was started.
MISSION: To provide a platform for churches to compete through recreation and to build relationships through sport.
VISION: To be a ministry that unifies Christian churches across Metro Vancouver through outreach, fellowship, teamwork, and fitness.
Let’s all keep these things in mind as the season goes on.
So this season we will be playing soccer, basketball, handball, volleyball, and benchball. Here are some reminders for the season:
- Please be sure to check the time and LOCATION of your game. We stress the location part because this season there are a lot of 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)
- 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.
- 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 a certain time and your car may be stuck inside.
- Have fun!
