Through discussions with viaSport, Softball BC gained the necessary approval to go ahead with the provincial championships. The tournament started on Friday and ends with gold medal games on Sunday.
“We set out our return-to-play guidelines, which after the COVID numbers were down, we were able to go to different phases,” said co-organizer of the tournament and coach of the Kamloops Thieves Nicole Trouton. “Thankfully, the timing was just right to be able to host provincials.”
