Falmouth Little League COVID-19 Safety Protocols for the 2021 Season

04/07/2021 By FLL

April 29, 2021 – The Falmouth Little League Board of Directors has voted unanimously to follow the new Community Sports Guidelines from the State of Maine CDC and the updated recommendations of the Falmouth Department of Parks and Community Programs

UPDATED FALMOUTH LITTLE LEAGUE POLICY ON FACE MASKS

1. Players and coaches are no longer required to wear face masks on the playing field during practices and games.
2. Face masks only need to be worn when 6-foot social distancing cannot be maintained for a substantial period of time. This applies to coaches, players, and spectators at the game. Common sense should prevail. If several players come into close contact for 30 seconds during a practice drill or during a game, no masks are needed. If a whole team clusters together in the dugout for several minutes to stay dry during a rain shower, everyone should mask up.
3. All players and coaches must bring a mask to every practice and game and have it at the ready at all times.

DUGOUTS POLICY

 

 

 

4. If your team uses the dugout, everyone must mask up on the bench.

If you prefer to play the whole game without wearing face masks, then don’t use the dugout and space your players 6 feet apart along the outside of the sideline fence between the dugout and the outfield corner

5. Avoid big groups clustered together in the dugouts or on the field for extended periods of time. The Falmouth Little League Board recommends that coaches direct their players to park their equipment bags outside of the dugouts along the outside of the sideline fences during practices and games and maintain the standard 6-foot distancing when their team is off the field waiting to bat.  Only the on-deck hitter should be in the dugout area.

IF THE COACHES CHOOSE to place more than two players (or the whole team) on the bench inside the dugout area before or after the game, or during the half-innings when their players are waiting to bat, EVERYONE IN THE DUGOUT MUST MASK UP.

6. To reduce risk of injury, all bats should be stored inside the on-deck area of the dugout during practices and games. Players should only touch their bats when waiting on-deck or batting at the plate. If a player has a personal batting helmet, that should stay with the player’s equipment bag outside the dugout along the sideline fence.

7. Tee Ball games are played on makeshift fields created on the Big Legion Field outfield grass with no dugouts or sideline fences. Coaches and parents should work together to keep players as spread out as possible during practice time before the game and during the game when they are seated waiting to bat.  Coaches may decide to require Tee Ball players to wear face masks if too much clustering for extended periods of times cannot be avoided.

Our plans to safely and responsibly play games in all age divisions.

Safety checklist for players.

Falmouth Little League Delayed 2020 Season & Coronavirus Policy

03/12/2020 By FLL

May 20, 2020 Update

Here are the State of Maine’s new guidelines for community sports. https://www.maine.gov/decd/sites/maine.gov.decd/files/inline-files/COVID%20Checklist%20for%20ME%20Phase%202%20Community%20Sports.pdf

April 22, 2020 Update –

No Little League Games or Practices in May

While there is always a possibility that local, state and federal authorities could end all or most social distancing requirements sooner than we hope, the Falmouth Little League Board is not planning to start our season in May while our children are still attending school from home.

Little League International will make a new set of recommendations in “early May.” Falmouth Community Programs has released its summer brochure and is planning (hoping) to start summer camps on June 22nd. Accordingly, Falmouth Little League will plan on starting practices sometime in June and playing regular season games between June 22nd and the end of July.

Tentative Regular Season: June 22nd to August 1st

Everything is subject to change. If we can can make a determination in Mid-May that we can start practices in late May or early June and start playing games earlier than June 22nd, we will do so.

Tentative All Star Season: August 1st to August 15th

If there will be no official Little league All-Star tournaments this summer, Falmouth and other local leagues have all expressed an interest in creating an ad hoc All Star post-season. Most likely, those games would be played during the first two weeks of August.

Cancellations

If your summer schedule will prevent you from participating in Falmouth Little League in June and July, please email me with a request for a refund before May 15th so we can select our teams based on an accurate number of players available for summer ball.

Any refunds requested after May 15th will be honored, of course, and if the entire 2020 season has to be cancelled, we will be prepared to refund all registration fees.

(The website which processed your registrations promises to have updated its software by the end of April to allow us to issue refunds directly to the credit and debit cards you used to sign up. This will spare our Treasurer the labor of writing hundreds of checks.)

If you have signed up to coach and will be unavailable to coach in June and July, please let me know as soon as you know, preferably before May 15th

-RJ Matson

President, Falmouth Little League

April 2, 2020 – Little League International continues to recommended that all local leagues delay the start of their seasons until May 11th.

Governor Mills has issued a stay-at-home order through April 30th, and the Superintendent of Falmouth Schools is now proposing a tentative re-opening date of May 4th. Accordingly, Falmouth Little League will allow no practices before school is back in session. May 16th is still our tentative date to begin playing games. That, of course, is subject to change.

Safety Protocols

If we do play games in 2020, Falmouth Little League will consult with the Town of Falmouth to develop a set of coronavirus safety protocols.

Summer Ball?

The Falmouth Little League Board is exploring the possibility of extending our season into July and even August, assuming we would not be cleared to play in May. The possibility of playing our season in the summer depends in part on decisions yet to be made by Little League International regarding the scheduling of district and state of All-Star tournaments. If the Little League International were to decide to cancel the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA, in August, local leagues would have the freedom to play their regular seasons throughout the summer months.

While we are in a wait-and-see mode, the Falmouth Little League Board made the following decisions:

Field Maintenance

We will spend money in April, as we do every year, to prepare the fields for play. We will repair and improve the batting cages, and we will repair or purchase a new scoreboard for Grubb field. That money will come out of a surplus in our budget carried over from previous seasons, as well as a generous donation recently bequeathed to Falmouth Little League.

Refunds

If the season has to be cancelled, we will refund all registration fees by check. (Unfortunately, the website we used for the registration process does not allow us to issue refunds to credit or debit cards used to register.) We will not spend any of the 2020 registration money we have collected until we know for certain we will be playing a full season.

Team Announcements

We will not announce teams until we know for certain that school will resume and our season will start. For now, our plan is to announce teams the week of April 27th.

Opening Day Ceremony Cancelled

The Board has decided there will be no Opening Day ceremonies for the 2020 season.  A gathering of several hundred people on any date in May or June would be too risky.

5 and 6 Year-Old T-Ball Schedule

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/106y01VQdCn3MN5h521upvzFaPrv82kgHhpn0uVSYUaQ/edit?usp=sharing

Please follow this link to sign up for Monday-Wednesday games or Tuesday-Thursday games. Games will begin at 5:45 pm.  If your schedule is flexible, please sign up for your first choice and also indicate you can play either schedule. This will help us balance the number of teams in each league as well as the number of players on each team.

All 4 year-old T-Ball games will be played on Saturday mornings at 9:00 am.
