Hi Everyone,

 

It’s that time of year again, Port Colborne Minor Baseball is taking registration forms to gather any and all those that are interested in signing up for baseball this summer, again, I do not know at this time if there will be a season or not, it could be a regular season, a modified season or no season at all. All centers are preparing and I need to have a plan ready if we do get to play. You do not need to send any payment, just a registration form only at this time. .

Please find attached the Registration Form, and send to Tracey at tjennings1@live.ca 

If you are interested in coaching, please fill out the Coach Information Sheet and email it to the same email address, you will later be asked to do a background check online.

If you have a son or daughter that is at least 12 years of age and interested in having an umping job for the summer please fill out the Umpire Information Sheet and email in, there are more details on our Facebook page, they will need to take a course that costs $25.00.

We are always looking for volunteers, please let me know if you are interested in helping out in any way.

Update From Baseball Ontario:

Baseball Ontario is extremely disappointed in the approach to reopening outdoor sports announced by the Government of Ontario on May 20th.  The announcement did not indicate changes to bubble sizes nor were specifics about team activities provided.

So, Baseball Ontario is left to assume that no other changes have been or will be implemented and our projected dates and activity allowed are based upon the information available today. The dates below are based on the Government’s current estimates on achieving the various Steps and are subject to change.

Based on the information made available so far, organized team activities of up to 10 people can resume in Step 1 of the plan. The estimated start date of Step 1 is the week of June 14th. As such, Baseball Ontario’s suspension of in-person baseball activities will be extended to at least June 14th, as the Province’s current reopening roadmap does not allow for a return to baseball before then.

When we are allowed to move to Step 2 of the announced reopening plan, practices for up to 25 people will be permitted. The earliest date to move to Step 2 is July 5th.

When we are allowed to move to Step 3 of the announced reopening plan, scrimmages and games will be allowed. Unfortunately, because the Province has not yet signaled otherwise, we anticipate that we will still be limited to leagues of 50 players. The earliest date to move to Step 3 is July 26th.

We know that yesterday’s announcement said that outdoor sports and recreational facilities can open as of May 22nd. While this is true, no organized practices or training is permitted. Only casual use by up to 5 people is allowed.

 

Regards,

Tracey
