SEASON END DATE
We've received several inquiries as to when the 2020 season is over.

Because this year has been so...2020...Baseball Ontario has not defined a season end date. Each league or loop can determine for its members the end date of the 2020 season.
What this means for tryouts

As per our email communication on July 23rd:

With respect to 2021 team tryouts, 2020 Return to Baseball (Covid-19) and the Provincial Government regulations regarding sporting activities, it is Baseball Ontario’s position that:
2021 Team tryouts are considered training, not practices or games, and do not constitute a league, and therefore do not establish a social gathering bubble of 50 players. As per the current provincial regulations, 100 people are permitted at an outdoor event.
While players can only practice and play in one league of 50 players, they are free to try out for one or more 2021 team by attending those team(s) tryout(s).
All tryout events must adhere to Baseball Ontario's Return to Baseball protocols and provincial government and applicable public health requirements with respect to physical distancing and cleaning and sanitizing of facilities and equipment.
Players trying out for a 2021 team that is not within their current organization must complete new Return To Sport Waivers, Declarations and Acknowledgement for the new team they are trying out for, plus provide any release(s) that may be required.
What this means for
fall ball

Once summer leagues/loops and bubbles close, new fall leagues/loops and bubbles can start. There is no rest period required in between the closing of one bubble and the start of a new bubble.
