PBSA Softball Overview

PBSA administers softball playing opportunities for girls from age 4 to 19 with an emphasis on FUN, FRIENDSHIP, and FITNESS.  PBSA is a member of the SOUTH VANCOUVER ISLAND FASTPITCH SOFTBALL ASSOCIATION (SVI) playing to Softball BC rules.  SVI has parks throughout the South Island as far west as Sooke and as far North as Duncan.

Registration and skill levels in each age group dictate how we field teams, but most age groups are currently tiered into C divisions.  B divisions are possible with sufficient player and coach interest.


The Softball Program is administered by our Vice President of Senior Softball, Don Savostianik (U20 U17 & U15).
