2026 Season Registration is now open!
Kemptville Wildcats use Spond Club for managing members and all program registrations.
Spond (and more specifically the backend solution called Spond Club) allows the Kemptville Wildcats to manage our programs, players (and their parent(s)/guardian(s)), email communications and payment processing for program fees. In addition, once the season gets started, each team will have it's own Spond Group to help with team communication, events and attendance.
If you've used something like TeamSnap, you will be familiar with what Spond offers to the player (and their parent/guardian).
There are Spond apps available for both iPhone and Android and these are highly recommended for interacting with a Spond Group. Spond Groups can also work by sending information/notifications via text messages (SMS) and emails.
Checkout Spond's website for more information on the solution.
Kemptville Wildcats started using Spond Club in 2023 and every child who is registered for and pays for a program offered by the Kemptville Wildcats becomes a member of the club. Members will get directly notified when registration opens for the next year as well as any other programs that may be offered. Don't worry if you forget your password before the next year, Spond can send it to your registered email address.
On the "Membership" page, first select "Member" from the Member type dropdown box:
Next, select the appropriate age group for your child. If you don't get the option to select a group, make sure you picked the correct Member type. You will see current pricing information, any restrictions and the waitlist status, similar to the screenshot below:
Softball Canada programs are based on gender identity for U11+
Smallball programs are co-ed
Spond will give an error if your child's gender doesn't match the group restriction
Waitlists ensure we have sufficient numbers for a team before charging fees (See FAQ below)
Your child will not be added to a team/group while on the Waitlist
You will receive a payment request at a later date to complete the Registration process
Kemptville Wildcats will do our best to enable kids to play which may mean combining age groups and "playing up".
We recommend using the Spond apps available for iPhone and Android. You can also login to the Spond website. Remember to use the same email address as when you registered.
If you're asking, you probably don't have one (yet)! As part of registering, you need to provide your email and phone number, this is used by Spond to enable you to login later - you'll be prompted to create a password then.
Members in Spond are (primarily) the kids who have been registered for our programs. A Parent/Guardian in Spond is the adult associated with a Member.
Now for the slightly confusing part - when you (Parent/Guardian) register your child to be a Member, the account created in Spond is for you, the Parent/Guardian but, your child is the Member that gets created. Basically, the Member is who gets added to groups/teams and the Parent/Guardian pays the bills. ;)
If you register more than one child, each become Members and you as the Parent/Guardian can see everything assocaited with each child.
A Parent/Guardian can also be a Member but this is primarily for people who have volunteered for roles (Coach, Team Manager) that require them to use more Spond functionality (event creation, etc).
If you provided your child's email address during registration, they would have received an email with a link to follow that allows them to get setup in Spond once they are a Member.
If you didn't provide an email during registration, you will need to contact us via info@kemptvillewildcats.ca and provide your child's name and email address. We will update their member profile and Spond will send an email with the link to follow. Unfortunately this isn't something a Parent/Guardian can do on their own (yet).
Yes! During the registration process you can add more than one Parent/Guardian.
Unfortunately, if you missed this step, adding additional Parent/Guardian is not self-service (yet) and does require sending an email to info@kemptvillewildcats.ca with the Member's name and the new Parent/Guardian's name and email address. We will update the member profile and Spond will send an email with the link to follow.
All Parents/Guardians will be able to see and respond on behalf of their children in Spond.
Kemptvile Wildcats wants to ensure there will be enough kids registered in each age group before you are made to pay for registration.
Keep in mind the administration fee on any payment through Spond is non-refundable. Essentially, we're trying to save you $10 if we can't field a team for a specific age group.
