Keeping Safe With New Restrictions
We remind all teams, local associations and affiliated associations that we must continue to follow the Ontario COVID-19 Protocols, we want to provide further details as to what does this mean.
In many regions the use of schools or government-run facilities may not be possible at this time, and therefore teams and associations are looking to private facilities for indoor workouts. While this is generally permitted, we must make sure the following protocols are being adhered to:
  1. No teams can travel to a centre with less restrictions in order to conduct baseball activates. For example, currently a team in Oakville (Red) cannot travel to Guelph (Orange) for a practice.
  2. All indoor Private centers should be following the Provincial Protocols, so we encourage all teams to check with the facility on how they are managing the number of people present at one time, and what forms you are required to sign.
  3. Utilizing an attendance tracker is mandatory! Whether you use the Baseball Ontario OnDeck app or some other resource, you must keep records of all attendees at each event in case contact tracing is required.
  4. Ensure teams have hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes readily available, and try to avoid sharing of bats or other equipment. Equipment that must be shared must be sanitized between uses.
Keep in mind that where there are regional restrictions or requirements, these must be followed. Further, all provincial restrictions also apply. Please continue to be diligent in your safety practices, and when in doubt stay home. Thank you and stay safe and healthy!
