Chandler Youth Baseball – Spring 2020 Baseball

 

CYB Family and Friends,

We hope this message finds you and your families in good health and doing well.

Developments keep changing as it pertains to the COVID-19 pandemic, a.k.a. the coronavirus. Earlier this week, our governor released an executive order closing all schools through April 10th.  As a result Chandler Youth Baseball is suspending its youth baseball season until at least April 13th.

The City of Chandler parks remain open for outdoor recreational activities, but all restrooms (toilets and sinks) are still closed until further notice.

We know our coaches and players want to play ball and enjoy our wonderful spring weather, but this phenomenon is bigger than us. So all we can do is take a deep breath, wait & see what happens nationally and locally and wait for directives from decision makers.

We have received inquires as they pertain to refunds and we are not deciding on those yet. We are hopeful to play some baseball this season and will address refunds if the season is cancelled.

Coaches, parents and players are encouraged to follow the suggestive hygiene tips on the CDC website (www.cdc.gov).

Stay healthy and stay safe.
