The following safety guidelines for the COVID-19 virus have been imposed by the fields we play on and must be followed.
It is each player's responsibility to follow these guidelines or risk suspension.
- "Social distancing" when not on the field is required. Masks are required when in the dugout or when not in the field.
- Only the catcher and umpire must wear masks while on the field.
- There can be NO tag plays. Every play is a force play. Once you turn toward a base (except 1B) or attempt to advance, you must go to that base or be called out. This means NO rundowns.
- Unfortunately, there will be NO handshakes at the end of the game. Elbow bumps will be acceptable. Please leave the field immediately after the game separately - NO congregating after games.
- Fans must sit 6 feet apart or wear face masks if unable to sit 6 feet apart.
- If managers are called to meetings with umpires before games, everyone must were face masks at that meeting.
- Bats - If a player wishes to share or borrow a bat, they should wear gloves on both hands and get permission from the player who owns the bat.
- Each player should bring hand sanitizer to every game and use it when appropriate.
