2021 Season Info
|
We will be having a short/revised season this Summer of having only 3 teams and a maximum of 50 players in our league allowed to play, as mandated by the guidelines set by The County of Brant. |
This season is far from normal and we respect the decision of those who choose not to play and hope we will see you all under more normal circumstances next year.
For those of you choosing to play under these challenging circumstances, please know that safety is our first priority and those who choose not to follow the rules will be invited to leave the league.
Below is listed some bullet points on how we'll return to play. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to Contact Us.
- An “Informed Consent” waiver must be acknowledged by each player before every game. We will be utilizing an app called “TeamSnap” to manage waiver acknowledgement and contact tracing.
- Players and Coaches that remain in the bench area will wear face coverings while maintaining physical distancing.
- Players on the field can choose to wear a face covering however this is not mandatory. The only exception to this is the Catcher and Umpire who must wear a face covering while on the field of play.
- Base coaches will not be allowed on the field of play and must coach from the other side of the fence.
- Each team will have hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. Touch points will be cleaned every half inning as each team enters or exits the field of play.
- Wearing of batting gloves will be mandatory.
- Sunflower seeds, gum chewing or spitting will not be permitted.
- Personal bats are encouraged however team bats will be available and will be sanitized after each use. Shared bats cannot be used in succession to allow time for proper sanitization.
- Each team will provide two game balls for every game, regardless of being Home or Away. Each defensive team will bring their ball for play to the field. Offensive players will not be allowed to touch the ball. Balls will be cleaned at the end of every inning.
- Rule Changes - No tagging base runners. All plays will become a forced play. Sliding is also not permitted to reduce the chance of injury or collisions.
- Spectators will not be allowed during the Orange coloured tier. During Yellow or Green tiers, spectators will be encouraged to bring their own chairs and disinfectant and adhere to physical distancing protocols in place.
Please stay safe and healthy.
