COVID-19 ADDENDUM FOR SPRING 2022

SRLL reserves the right to cancel/reschedule games/practices as needed due to COVID.

1. Rules on the Field – No parents in the dugout or on the field (Minors, Majors & Seniors only).  Masks not required: Outdoor/indoor mask mandates have been lifted, including at schools. We are no longer requiring masks for SRLL games. That said, anyone wishing to wear a mask, either coach or player is allowed to do so and should not be discouraged by anyone. Many of our players, coaches, or their families may have underlying health conditions that may or may not be visible, and that fact must be respected by all. No sunflower seeds, gum, or candy in the dugout or on the field. No spitting. Hand Sanitizer will be available in the dugout. Coaches and players should use it throughout the game.  

2. Coaches — Coaches must agree that they will be transparent, and forthcoming should they or a member of their family contract the COVID-19 virus, or if they had it and completed the 5-day quarantine period and then need to wear a mask for 10 days afterwards. Coaches must communicate with their commissioner, who will work with the executive board on guidance for possible cancellations or adjustments to schedules.

3. Displaying symptoms or Confirmed infection — if your child is displaying symptoms, has a positive test or not feeling well in general should not show for games or practices.  If they test positive, please let the coach know so that players can be advised to get tested because of a possible exposure. Individual names and diagnoses will not be shared. All players and coaches should follow current CDC and Department of Health guidelines. Any player required to quarantine by school or their medical provider should be quarantining from games and practices as well. Players should take a COVID test to confirm they are not positive before returning to play baseball

4. Communication — Coaches need to be informed if a player or a parent/household member is displaying symptoms or confirmed infection. We understand a family’s need for privacy regarding their health. However, due to the risks posed by the transmission of this illness, SRLL will inform teams involved with that player or a parent/household member of potential exposure. We will not share the name, or personal information, but simply inform the team and parents of the situation so they can monitor their own symptoms.
