Each year there are positions on the KWSL Executive Board that become available for other members to step into.  These changes to the Board take place during the annual AGM. Players are nominated to be added to the Board and a vote takes place to determine Board members if there are more interested members than spots available on the Board.  Please think about joining the KWSL Executive Board.

 For a second year in a row, the KWSL will be providing a reimbursement to new referees.  The KWSL would like to actively support the recruitment and training of new referees.  In order to assist new referees with their associated costs (course registration, uniforms, gear etc), the KWSL is pleased to announce that they will provide $50 to the first 10 referees upon successful completion of their training.  This only applies to new referees and not those completing their refresher course.  

The current pay for referees in Kamloops is $70 per adult game as the head referee and $40 per game to be a linesperson for one of the adult league games.  In order to be considered for this $50 reimbursement, please contact the KWSL webmaster at kwslwebmaster@gmail.com to express your interest and provide proof of course completion.
