COVID SAFETY PARAMETERS

The ability to play recreation baseball is dependent upon our ability to work together to operate within State and Local guidelines for play.

Parents contribute by:

1) Checking player(s) temperature(s) before coming to a field

2) Keeping player(s) home if they have a temperature, feel ill, or are required to stay home due to quarantine protocols 

3) Notifying the league (bprbaseballassoc@gmail.com) if their player or someone in contact with their player was exposed to COVID-19 or experiences symptoms of COVID-19

4) Maintaining 6 feet social distancing at all times

5) Wearing a mask (no gaiters, no bandanas) when in common areas or situations where 6 feet of distancing is not able to be maintained

6) Ensuring your player(s) understand expectations for their compliance to be able to participate in BPR baseball (see below)

Players, with their Parents' help, contribute by:

1) Having a mask (no gaiters, no bandanas) with them at all times

2) Wearing a mask when on the sideline / not in the field

3) Bringing their own water bottles labeled with their name. (Note - no snacks allowed.)

4) Bringing their own equipment (glove, bat, helmet, cap) labeled with their name.

5) Refraining from spitting or physical contact with other players (e.g., high fives, fist bumps)

6) Listening to instructions by Coaches and Safety Monitors to maintain social distancing, mask wearing, and hand sanitizing

What to expect at the baseball field:

• Hand sanitizer in each dugout
• Only 2 or 3 players in a dugout (depending on dugout size; maintaining 6 feet distance)
• Extended line up/batting order outside dugouts maintaining 6 feet distance
• Designated baseballs for each team; balls wiped between innings
• For Minors, Majors and Seniors, 2 pairs of catcher equipment per team, sanitized inbetween use. (Note - Players who have and bring their own catcher gear will be the only ones to use that gear). 
• Safety Monitors - volunteers to oversee social distancing, mask wearing and hand santizing when players are not on the field. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED (you can volunteer during registration)
