COVID-19 Update - 7/18

Hi Everyone - As we arrive at about the mid-point of summer, I wanted to send a quick update on a few Little League topics:

1) As I'm sure everyone has seen, the COVID-19 infection rates have been ticking up across our state, including in Kitsap, and accordingly WA State has put us into this "pause" in Phase 2, with some additional restrictions now on the size of gatherings when we do move to Phase 3. Our Board met this past Thursday and after discussing many options, concluded that the best way-ahead for the league now is to turn our focus to the fall and the potential of a Spring 2021 season. Accordingly, we will not be holding a Fall Ball program, or any organized activities in July/August this year. We are looking toward starting some off-season clinics in the Fall/Winter, conditions permitting, similar to what we have done in past years. I realize this is disappointing for many of you, as it is for me, which has been a bit of a theme the past 4 months. But I'm convinced that for our league, this is the best risk-management decision that we could make.

2) We have completed processing refund requests for 2020 regular-season fees, and applying credits for the 2021 season. If you have been expecting a refund and have not yet received it, please let us know! You can e-mail us at [email protected] or me specifically at [email protected]. We will look into it as soon as possible. Many thanks in particular to board member Sabrina Krenzelok, who processed the bulk of those refund requests! I hope everyone is healthy and (safely) enjoying the summer weather. Thanks for all that you all do in our community and I certainly hope to see you all in the Spring!
