About VSWSA

 Victoria Saanich Women's Softball Association

Welcome to the Victoria Saanich Women's Softball Association! Established in 1971, VSWSA is a competitive women's fastball league. Classified at the A, Inter A, and B level we strive to promote the continual growth of competitive fastball in the Greater Victoria Area. 

In 1971, Walter Yeamans secured Hyacinth Park at the corner of Interurban and Marigold so the Senior Ladies would have a ball facility to call home.The park was used by soccer players in the winter which meant that the dedicated volunteers every spring had to put the outfield fences up and take them down at season’s end.  Finally, in 1989, the Municipality of Saanich turned the running of the park over to us. The current building with a meeting room upstairs, an umpire room, bathrooms, and concession was erected. The diamonds were skinned and score booths built, everything being done by players, coaches and friends.

Over the years, the park hosted many Provincial and Western Canadian Championships for senior men, women, mixed and minors. Tournaments have been held at Hyacinth park since the 1980's. These tournaments allow us to showcase the park and the talent this league has to offer. 

The Victoria/Saanich Womens Association has been the stepping stone for minors entering the senior game at the elite level. Many Hyacinth teams over the years have represented BC at Westerns and Canadians with much success. The park continues to showcase women’s ball, now and in the future.
