To All League Participants
First, we would like to begin by thanking all our volunteers including Board Members, Coaches, Sponsors, and Parents. Many have already put in days, weeks, and months of effort to get our program up and running for the 2021 Season and we would like to Thank You for helping to provide Little League Baseball to our community.
After a disappointing but necessary cancellation of the 2020 Season we are happy to report that we have continued our previous trend of increasing our registration to another record number of participants and have expanded our program to include 8 NEW Tee Ball teams, a NEW Juniors 13-14 Softball team, and a 2nd Juniors 13-14 Baseball team!
Unprecedented numbers for our program so THANK YOU!
COVID GUIDELINES
You all have, or will be receiving information from your Head Coach regarding our COVID Guidelines and Waiver Requirements. ALL PLAYERS MUST have a signed wavier returned to their head coach before they can participate in practices or games. Please note, these guidelines were sourced from the NJ Department of Health and the CDC current guidelines as of March 1st and are subject to change at any time. For more information, please visit COVID19.nj.gov (Organized Sports), or on our website www.shorelittleleague.com
FIELDS AND PRACTICES
As expected after a year off, many fields need additional attention before they are ready for safe play. We will be working over the next 2 weeks to prepare these fields and will be ready to begin practices on March 22nd. We expect to run 2-3 practices per week and your head coach will reach out once these schedules are completed.
OPENING DAY
In our current environment and with the record number of participants this year, the Board of Directors has decided to not hold traditional Opening Day Ceremonies as we have in the past. Although disappointing, the Board’s main priority is the safety of our members and the protection of our game schedule.
