Dear Cosom Members,

With the start of another school year marks the beginning of another Cosom Season. However, this will be no ordinary year. This is actually the 50th Anniversary of the Richmond Cosom Floor Hockey Association! For half a century, our league has brought together players, parents, and volunteers who share a passion for our unique sport. Operating as Richmond’s Best Value Sports League since 1975 is no small feat and is a testament to the passion and uniqueness of our Cosom community. We are very excited to be celebrating this milestone with our community, both past and present, and honoring those who have contributed to building this league to where it is today!

With that being said, we would like to share some important updates for the upcoming season:

1. Division-Specific Game & Practice Times:
   • The finalized times for each division can be found on our website.
   • A reminder that a player’s practice night will be finalized once they are placed on a team.
2. Registration:
   • Our divisions are filling up quickly, so if you have not yet registered we urge you to do so as we will be closing the divisions once the capacities are reached. Current division sizes are:
   • Mites: 80% full, Jr Squirt: 80% full, Sr Squirt 75% full, PeeWee: 75% full, Bantam: 70% full. 
   • Adult is now 100% full. If you are interested in playing, please email adult@rcfha.org to be placed on the waitlist. 
   • We would like to remind you all about the Active Recreation & Sport Fund. This program provides subsidized sport funding for players under the age of 18 where financial barriers may impact inclusion. As a proud partner of the Richmond Sports Council, we highly recommend applying for this for those who qualify. See the application for details.
3. Block Party: 
   • Our Block Party will be on Sep 20th from 11AM-3PM at Burnett Secondary. Come grab some snacks, bring your friends, shoot around in the gym, and win some prizes! Please see the attached flyer. 
4. Evaluations:
   • We will be holding our evaluations on Sep 21^st at Burnett Secondary. This will be for the Mites-Bantam Divisions. A detailed schedule and sign-up sheet will be sent shortly.
   • Working Groups will be held the following two weekends (Sep 27, 28, Oct 4, 5) for all divisions, including Adult. We will be following the same game times as the regular season. 
5. Coaches & Team Manager:
   • We are still searching for coaches and team managers in all of our divisions. If you are able to help please email coaches@rcfha.org. We are a completely volunteer-run organization so we need your support!

Please be sure to continue checking our website and our Instagram/Facebook pages as we will be updating them regularly. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out to info@rcfha.org.

Looking forward to celebrating our 50th anniversary with you all!
