Here We Grow Again
NSA Canada is proud to announce a new 3 year agreement with Sherwood Park Men's league through the 2012 season.
Many thanks to Jeff Ceccano and the rest of the board of directors on their decision to choose the fastest growing slo-pitch program in Canada. We look forward to growing both of our programs together and promise to provide the customer service you deserve.
Thanks also to our Regional Director, Ryan Dutka for all his efforts during the process.
As we bask in the aftermath of the success of the Vancouver Olympics, NSA Canada wanted to add it's voice to the many and pass on a heartfelt thanks to all the Athletes who competed with the top of the podium in mind and to all the volunteers who made the world welcome to their city and province.
NSA Canada would also like to say thank you to all the Canadian fans who made the cities of Vancouver and Whistler so vibrant and patriotic for the 17 days.
It was great to turn on the tv every night and feel the pride of this great country watching the festivities as well it was awesome to see the NSA Canada jackets in evidence on Robson Street!!
In an ode to this great country at this great time, we have added this fantastic video essay from one of Canada's preminent sports writers, Stephen Brunt who we think sums up what it means to be Canadian
Oh Canada!!
NSA Canada is proud to announce Kamloops Sunday Evening Slo-pitch has once again chosen to affiliate with us.
This 48 team league has been one of longest affiliations with NSA Canada/BC and we thank them for their loyalty and ongoing support. Big thanks also goes out to Kamloops Director Mike Colistro for all his hard work! Our directors are truly the strength of our program.
Durham Regional Slopitch Association signs for 6th Consecutive Season!!
Thank you DRSA League for your faith, trust and support for the sixth consecutive league affiliation vote. A special thank you goes out to the executive for having the wisdom to compare all programs incentives and selecting the one that benefits their membership the most. There was no doubt after comparing 'apples to apples' NSA Canada offered dominating value for considerable less cost. The majority membership support vote clearly indicated that NSA Canada offered the best league package on the playing field and off.
I would like to thank Ted Wiles, Rob Delves and Rob MacGregor for their time and dedication making this presentation a terrific success!
