Originally
our teams consisted primarily of women from government funded
agencies, ministries and corporations, but now, three decades
later, we're made up of women from all over the Greater
Victoria Region who have found sponsorship from local businesses
or through fundraising activities.
Our
numbers have both grown and receded over the years with
the 2008 season ending with approximately 200 members and
13 teams.
We
are owned by no one and operated by ourselves. Every year,
the membership nominates and votes an executive
committee to run the league. This committee consists of
individuals from the league who have volunteered their time.
Just
like any other organization, there are core values which describe
us best, identify our beliefs, and govern many of our decisions.
- Healthy
competition that fosters teamwork and friendships
- Sportsmanship
and fair play
- Respect
of teammates and competitors
- Leadership
- Support
for all levels of play
- Having
fun, exercising, and enjoying the game
To
help ensure these values aren't forgotten and to acknowledge
those members promote our values best and go the extra mile
for our league, every year we nominate two individuals for
the Sue Beischer Award and the
Joannie Dillabaugh Award.
To promote sportsmanship, we also vote for the season's most
sportmanlike team as well as the most spirited player
on each team. Visit our awards page
for more details about our annual awards and trophies.
