*Please note that HST will be charged in addition to league fees, according to the HST transition rules which state that “HST would generally apply to prepayments starting on May 1, 2010, for goods or services that would be provided on or after July 1, 2010.” Since our inception, VDL absorbed GST as a part of the league fees; however we can no longer do this as increased operational and governmental costs are too high this year (HST is an additional 7% tax on all revenue; VSB gym rentals are one of our biggest expenses, and they will be increasing 5% per annum for the next 3 years because of budget shortfalls). We aim to keep dodgeball affordable for the community, and we still believe that compared to other sports like roller and ice hockey, dragon boating, golf, soccer, ultimate (and even other dodgeball leagues), VDL’s league fees are competitive, very affordable, and of great value. VDL must take this route in order to continue advancing our mission , maintain the best dodgeball experience out there for players bar none, and strengthen our foundation so that VDL is a sustainable non-profit built to last. Thank you for understanding.
