NSA CANADA WORLD SERIES EVENTS
Here is a quick update for the 2020 World Series events.
NSA Canada is not planning on making any hasty decisions at this present time on our World Series events as we feel there will be more of a need when our cities open up and the need for people to get back out and enjoy life.
We do advise against booking flights to the events due to the uncertainty of things.
All of our partner hotels take cancellations up to 48 to 72 hours prior to your arrival date therefore this is still an option for you.
We will continue to personally work and advise everyone of any updates.

NSA CANADA COVID-19 UPDATE
The past few weeks has been unprecedented in Canada and the world.
We at NSA Canada are not going to claim to know any more about this situation than the average Canadian. We would urge all our members to adhere to both their individual provincial and federal regulations. Currently many provinces either have bans or suggestions on gathering of over 50 people to help regulate the spread of Covid-19. Please use your best judgement on what constitutes a gathering of under or over 50 people as we at NSA realize there is all kinds of individual situations and cannot regulate all of these. NSA Canada has had conversations with several leagues and tournaments and will continue to discuss each situation and give what advice we can.
For most parts of Canada league play is still a long way off. To our members in British Columbia who have the benefit of beautiful weather and with leagues starting earlier than the rest of Canada, we would suggest that you look at delaying the start of the season by a few weeks if possible. If this is not an option and you wish to contact us directly to discuss options and alternatives, we are available to discuss this with you.
Most of all we wish everyone to stay safe.
Our office staff in both Calgary and Hamilton will be available to be reached by phone or email.

BAT STANDARDS UPDATE
NSA Canada has been actively monitoring the continuing evolution of bat standards and was interested to learn that USSSA has changed their commencement date of the new bat testing standards from July 2020 and has extended it to Jan 2023.
NSA Canada as a program wants to ensure that you, the participant, stay informed as to how these changes will affect you and the products you have purchased or will do so in the future for league and tourney play.
With NSA Canada and other national programs using the lower density ball, we have always been at the forefront of participant safety, which is the primary reason for these upcoming rule changes.
Whether we agree or not with the new standards due to these North American changes, it will be what the bat manufacturers will follow due to the huge influence of USSSA in the market.
These manufacturers are a major part of our program and we will ensure that as always moving forward, NSA Canada will listen to all parties involved to continue to have the best program for all.
NSA Canada is going to continue to review the situation and make an informed and final decision on the bat standards once all the information becomes available in our market.
We currently have sanctioned the new testing standard as well as the grandfathered standard till at least Jan 2023, but will reserve the right to make changes to this process moving forward based on any informed info that may arise and impact all parties.
Thank you for support and see you on the fields!
Thanks for supporting Smash It Sports Canada!
