Dear PLL Families,
First, let me extend
a heartfelt "Thank You" to each and every one of our members for
being patient and understanding through the uncertainty, cancellation, and
refunds that came in lieu of our Spring 2020 season. I know it was a very confusing and stressful
time for our community and, quite frankly,
the entire world.
We are also
extremely thankful for the generosity of our members who have donated their
time and/or registration fees so that the league could continue to operate,
maintain, and improve our grounds.
We understand that
we are still in somewhat uncertain times.
However, we do feel like we can offer a Fall season and stay within
recommended guidelines for sanitization and social distancing. We also understand if your family is not yet
comfortable in participating in organized sports.
We will open Fall
registration in the next few days. We
will send out an email as well as post the announcement on our website and
Facebook page.
Here is what we
anticipate the season will look like based on current state and local
guidelines:
Practices:
We ask that while
your kid(s) are practicing you be mindful of social distancing. Please stay at least 6 feet away from those
not in your household. If it is
impossible to stay 6 feet distance, please wear a face mask. You may also consider watching practice from
within your vehicle if you can see the field.
We will ask that
each player bring their own water bottle and hand sanitizer.
Games:
Games will have the
same distancing requirements as practices and players will need to bring their
own water bottle/hand sanitizer. We will
also ask that kids 10 years and older bring and wear a facemask while in the
dugout on offense. Coaches will also be
required to wear a facemask while in the dugout. CDC is using 15 minutes as a guideline on the
amount of time that close contact could expose an individual. Kids 9 and under are not required to wear a
facemask but are welcome to at parents' discretion.
Sharing of equipment:
Coaches will be
given 2 batting helmets and 2 catcher masks for team use. These items will be sprayed with a sanitizer
after use.
We will ask that any
equipment shared be sanitized after use.
If we have to cancel the fall season prior to first
game:
We learned a lot
regarding refunds after the cancellation of the Spring season. With that said, if we have to cancel the Fall
season, we will mail a refund to the home address listed in the player profile. Please review the address and phone number
listed in the player account for accuracy. Please note that the $5.00 will be
held out of the refund to cover a non-refundable service fee charged to the
league by SportsConnect and the cost of stamps, envelopes, and checks.
Thank you again for
your understanding. We look forward to playing ball this Fall!
