Message From the Board Regarding COVID-19

Ellington Little League Baseball Community, Following up on the messages sent out last week, the decision on when to commence local Little league activities is now in the hands of State and Local government officials.

Due to these unprecedented events Ellington Little League has decided to waive and refund fees for all players for the 2020 Spring/Summer season. This does not mean the season is canceled, we are still awaiting with an optimistic attitude the date Ellington Little League will be approved to begin operations. Unfortunately, we just don't know when we’ll start, how long the season will run, or if there will be post season tournaments to crown a Little League State Champions.

If interested Ellington Little League is accepting donations of this year’s registration fee if you would prefer to donate your previous payment as opposed to receiving a refund. Your donations will assist the league in continuing to upgrade facilities, equipment, uniforms, and provide player development clinics for the 2021 season and beyond. If you would like to donate this years registration fee please email Chris Weigand ([email protected]) and Derek Baehre ([email protected]). The options we are providing are a refund or donation, we will not be rolling over payments to be applied to the 2021 season.

The Board needs every family’s help in assessing how many players would remain interested in playing this season, with the assumption that the season will be played over some time period during the summer and/or possibly the fall.   This information is critical to the league to help us determine how we will divide players into the appropriate divisions of play.   We are looking for a yes, no, or maybe response (in these uncertain times we understand we may have several maybes).   Please email this information to Harold Lally ([email protected]) and Derek Baehre (email above). We will continue to provide updates as information becomes available to us and in the interim please don’t hesitate to reach out to Harold, Derek, or any board member with any questions you may have.

Stay healthy, keep training, and we hope to see you all soon.
