Restarting the 2020 season:
We are now in the Phase 2 Extension of the Governor’s Reopening Guidance for the COVID-19 pandemic. Public gathering limits allow that each athletic field can have up to 25 people using social distancing guidelines.
All players are required to sign and return the attached COVID-19 waiver before they can participate in any on field WSSA play, including practice sessions. A copy of the form will also be available on our website as well. If you have not already sent in a waiver form, download a copy, sign and bring with you to the next WSSA scheduled event (i.e. team practices, etc.…)
The WSSA membership is one of the high risk groups for COVID-19, so we have to be especially careful. Many of our members have expressed an unwillingness to participate too early in this restart process. For this reason we will start with loosely organized team practices. The schedule and details for the resumption of the WSSA 2020 season are posted below.
We ask that you be patient while we navigate this process as this is new to all of us. Our goal is to get our league up and running as soon as possible with the utmost safety of our membership in mind.
