2021 REOPENING UPDATE:
TODAY'S THE DAY! LET'S PLAY BALL!
|
|
For most of the province, baseball games can resume today. Remember to follow the guidance of local public health authorities and Baseball Ontario's Return to Sport Protocols. |
|

|
|
AND MORE GOOD NEWS...
TOURNAMENTS CAN TAKE PLACE!
|
|
Based on the regulations related to Step 2 of the Government's Reopening Plan, both Select and Rep Councils revisited the decision to cancel regular-season tournaments in 2021. |
|
Should a local association wish to run tournaments this summer, we encourage you to do so and wish you much success. Please note that tournaments, other than at Senior, will not be approved for the period between July 30th and August 15th, so as not to conflict with the first round of August Madness. We will work with local tournament hosts to update the current tournament lists on our website as soon as possible. |
