General Description

ESSC Slo-pitch is our largest and most social sport. Playing Slo-pitch is a great way to interact with friends while improving your skills, staying active and enjoying nice weather. After your game, meet up with your teammates and other ESSC players to enjoy exclusive specials at one of our many Sponsor Bars around Edmonton!

Player Testimonial: “I have played Slo-pitch, Indoor Volleyball and Beach Volleyball with the SSC for over 8 years. I joined with the intent of finding an alternative to being in a gym and have found so much more. I have met so many amazing, like-minded individuals who share a passion for sports and with whom I have developed longstanding friendships.” – Kris, Monday Slo-Pitch

The ESSC is an adult league only. All players must be 18 years of age or older before they participate in any ESSC league or event. We accept all levels of skill and experience by offering a wide range of divisions. We welcome full team, small group, individual and substitute registrations.

 DIVISION DESCRIPTIONS


Division

                                                      
                                                       Description

Recreational

This division is for teams or players that are new to the sport and have little experience playing slo-pitch. Teams should expect a FOR FUN only league. Teams in this division pitch to their own players. 

Recreational Plus

This division is for teams or players that have played slo-pitch in the past or are familiar with the game. You will see some organized plays, better hitting and better flow to the game. Teams in this division will pitch to their opponents.

Intermediate

This division is for teams or players that have more experience then those in Rec Plus. You will see skilled, organized plays, better hitting, catching and players who are overall more competent in all aspects of the game.

The above divisions are created based on skill level and not on competitive behaviour. All SSC players are expected to play with a ‘fun-first, winning second’ attitude. The SSC may move your team up or down a division based on seasonal results.

If your team defaults a second time, your status in the league will be under review. The ESSC does not profit from default fees; any team defaulted against is automatically refunded the applicable default fee onto the credit card which was used to register the team.
