COVID-GUIDELINES

Dear Coaches, Players & Parents,

The continued health and safety of our players, coaches, spectators, directors, staff, umpires, vendors, and park personnel is extremely important to us.

With that said, the integrity of the game is important, too. The game on the field will be played as normal. We can play and enjoy the game while maintaining social distancing. However, we need everyone's cooperation to make this happen.

Coaches, all parents MUST sign the COVID waiver online before the players are eligible to play. You must have your roster complete on line first then you can check to see what parent has signed the waiver as the parents who have not the player will show as pending approval.

Below are guidelines for most Alabama USSSA Fastpitch events. Please note that some of these guidelines may not be applicable at all facilities due to logistics.

Also note that these guidelines are subject to change at any time. City, local, state, and federal guidelines may supersede these guidelines.

Players, coaches, and spectators are not required to wear face coverings. However, it is recommended that face coverings be worn in close contact areas where social distancing is difficult to maintain.
Face coverings are not mandatory for athletes, but allow players to wear face coverings and gloves if they choose, as long as the items do not compromise the safety of any and all participants in the game.

Teams, players, and coaches should refrain from handshakes, high fives and group celebrations. Teams should be mindful regarding social distancing guidelines when/if conducting a group prayer.
