The F. R. Feaver Memorial Trophy is awarded annually in memory of Frank Feaver who was the OASA Secretary from 1943 to 1956. Frank Feaver’s dedication, service and devotion played a major role in the expansion and development of the game of softball.

Nominations (and supporting resume) must be received annually in the Office of the OASA Secretary by September 15.
20 2018 F. R. Feaver Memorial Trophy The recipient of the Feaver Award this year has spent all his life involved in softball one way or another. He started out as batboy, later a player, coach, and sponsor. You could say softball became his 24/7 passion.
His accomplishments are amazing: 24 OASA Provincial and Elimination Championships, 15 Canadian Championship Medals.
He has hosted 12 Provincial Championships from U12 to Men’s categories as well as 7 Canadian Championships.
He was also one of the first Canadian fastball pitchers to pitch in the ISC World Tournament in 1976 and 1977. He has thrown 2 perfect games in his career as a pitcher. When not fundraising, coaching or organizing tournaments you will probably find him at a nearby diamond helping young girls and boys with their hitting and pitching skills. He mentors new coaches and will help out wherever he can and always with a smile on his face. His goal is to make sure players have a place to play each and every summer regardless of age. Bill Simpson’s love for softball is evident in his own words, “This is the best game on earth, and I have never left and never will leave.” Softball has been Bill’s game for over 70 years.

School Teachers and other School Staff! Are you looking for a new gym activity for your students during the winter or spring months? One that requires no prep time on your part?
The O.A.S.A. is working with schools to provide instruction in the skills of fastball. All equipment is provided by the O.A.S.A., keeping safety in mind: indoor softballs, whiffle balls, nets and rubber bats. We work with the physical education timetable that is set out for us for the day to instruct the students in hitting, catching, throwing and fielding. Our instructors are former players and coaches who have played and coached the game at high levels of competition. By introducing the sport of softball in a fun way, we are hoping to encourage participants to sign up to play softball in their community. We are also working with local softball associations to have registration forms available for anyone interested. If you would like more information, or would like to book a school clinic, please contact: Dave Northern 905-706-7873 [email protected] 121 2019 FEE SCHEDULE Team Registration Fees
