Again this year Five Guys on Gardiners Road is hosting a fund raising event in support of the league on Wednesday October 21st. This is an opportunity to Dine and Make a Difference for our players! Between 5 and 8:30 pm $1 from every burger, poutine and milkshake sold will come back to the league.
This is always a great time, enjoying great food with friends and family, prepared by a staff that is proud to make a difference in the community. Seen you there!
As we prepare to begin organized team activities and the start of our season, we wanted to remind everyone of the Fair Play Rules For Spectators, shown below. We strive to keep the experience in our league a positive one for all participants, both on the court and on the sidelines, and that only happens when we all remember we should be there for the same reasons.
It’s up to all of us to make year 72 a memorable experience for the right reasons.
Last night the coaches received their teams and practice assignments for next week. In the next few days they will be making contact with their players to let them know what team they are on and what time their practice will be. Each practice time slot will have two teams splitting the gym ice. Below is a list of the team practice times.
Please remember that the coaches are volunteers and will make their calls as quickly as possible in the context of ofbtheir own personal responsibilities. It is our expectation that all players will be notified by the end of the weekend.

We are still taking names for the Biddy Division Waiting List. This is the Boys 11-12 age group (ages as of April 1, 2027) and plays Monday nights at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School.
Please contact us through messenger or by email at roland.billings@sympatico.ca if you are interested.
As we approach team activities beginning we encourage everyone participating to add your name to your water bottle. Many times over the season water bottles are left behind and remain unclaimed. If there is a name on them we stand a better chance of reuniting them with their owner.
Mark your calendars! Saturday October 3rd fro 10 am until 3 pm the grade 7 and 8 students from St, Francis of Assisi will be hosting a car wash to raise money for their year end trip. As they have done in the past, they will also be donating 25% of the money raised back to our league. This is a great way to support the school and community that support us throughout the year, and a chance to get your car cleaned while you enjoy a hot dog lunch! Details are in the poster below. See you there!
With the player evaluation practices wrapping up last night, we wanted to remind everyone of what comes next for players.
There is no activity for players next week (September 21 -24)
Our coaches meeting is on Wednesday September 23rd. At that meeting the coaches will be given their teams and select a practice time.
In the days following that meeting, the coaches will contact their players and let them know the team they are on and when they will practice.
As with the evaluation night practices, the team practices will be on the same nights the league plays (Graduate Monday night at Ecole Cathedrale; Biddy Monday night at St. Francis of Assisi; Little Guys Tuesday night at St. Francis of Assisi; Girls Wednesday night at St. Francis of Assisi; and Little Gals Thursday Night at St. Francis of Assisi). The full list of practice times will be posted here and on the league Facebook page.
Once you know your player’s team name, if you go to our web site (www.justforthefunofit.ca) you can click on the schedule tab, and using the drop down menus select their division, and team to see only their games for the full seaso

It would appear that there are questions being asked to get around the rules we have in place regarding registration.
For the last time here are the rules plain and simple.
1) No adult can register more than three players
2) A player 13 years old or older can register themselves and ONLY themselves
3) A player registering themselves CANNOT register anyone else.
Over the years we have operated, we had in place guidelines in our attempt to give those that cannot be at registration because of personal circumstances, an opportunity to still get their player registered. Last year that guideline was abused by individuals wanting to do mass player sign ups that was not in the spirit that we intended originally.
As a result we changed our practices and established clear rules for the registration process. These rules will be enforced.
For answers to other frequently asked questions please see previous posts.
Please share to help avoid disappointment tomorrow.
