The GBSA Board has made the difficult decision to cancel our 2020
summer baseball and softball seasons out of an abundance of caution due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our kids and their families is our
highest priority. We have waited until this point in hopes that we
could offer a program for the kids. Unfortunately, we needed to make a
decision now to allow our families to move forward with their summer planning.
Our Board closely reviewed the
Governor’s mandatory and recommended social distancing measures for youth
baseball and softball. Given the small size of our league, shared
equipment, use of minors as umpires, and the age of some of our youngest
players, we do not believe we can in good faith operate the league this summer.
We are saddened to think of a
summer without GBSA games under the lights, riding in the Memorial Day parade,
and of course the endless concession stand hotdogs, but we know there will be a
time for all these things again! By staying safe now, we can make sure that all
of our community members are here to enjoy baseball and softball next summer.
GBSA is already beginning
discussions on how we can offer some late summer or early Fall opportunities
should the pandemic allow us this opportunity. If you need to reach GBSA, please contact
