Covid 19 Policy and Procedures

General Ball Park Guidelines

*Players and spectators must try to maintain a distance of 6 feet when possible.  

*Spectators are encouraged to wear masks while on school grounds.  

*Masks are not required when social distancing is possible, but are required when it is NOT possible to social distance.   

*We will not be enforcing any complaints about people not wearing masks. This is a choice that people have to be adult enough to make and we aren't allowed to ask if someone has underlying conditions that would prevent them from being able to wear a mask.

*Any player or spectator who has a fever or symptoms is being asked to stay home for the safety of others.  

*For the health and safety of everyone, please pick up your trash like a responsible adult and human being.  

*Concessions are limited to beverages that will be sold by a third party vendor on Wednesdays and Sundays.  NO snacks or items will be available through NPYL concessions.

*Please be sure to bring any personal sanitizing products/masks with you when you visit the ballpark.  It is not always guaranteed that we will have enough product at any given point.

*Each team will receive 2 balls per game. They will use their own balls while they are playing in the defensive portion of the inning.  Coaches will make an effort to sanitize baseballs between innings. 

*If a player or coach has a temperature of 99.5 or above they will not be permitted to participate until they have been fever free for 72 hours without taking medications to reduce the fever.

Your identity will remain anonymous and we will work with the health department to take appropriate next steps to ensure player safety.

Please help us to make this a safe fall season by staying home when you are sick and by following our guidelines. We look forward to seeing you out at the park.
