UPDATE May 9, 2020
Hello Lebanon Little League Families,
We hope you and your families are doing well and staying healthy!
The current pandemic has been challenging for all of us. We have been just as anxious as you about getting our little ones back out on the diamonds. We have been providing a youth sports experience each year since 1949, and it has been our goal all along to continue that tradition in 2020 as long as it was safe to do so. At this time, we have decided the best decision would be to postpone our season until August.
While we understand that many things will change over the next three months, our goal is to treat this season just as if we had started back in March as originally planned. We hope to begin practices August 3, with games to start on/around September 1 and run through early October. We hope to provide a full schedule (at least 12-15 games) to all our baseball and softball divisions, with approximately 6-7 games for our Tball division.
Safety is, and has always been, our #1 priority. We work very hard to ensure all of our players, fans, and volunteers remain safe and healthy while participating in our programs. Obviously, the coronavirus creates additional needs and hurdles for public safety. In the coming months, we will publish a detailed safety plan that will be implemented for our season. Since the data, conditions, and requirements change week to week, we are not yet in a position to lay out all the specific safety updates, but we can assure you that we will be overly cautious with regards to updated protocols. We will continue to monitor federal, state, and local guidelines, and will utilize all the resources available from expert sources to formulate our plan.
If you had already registered your child this year, and intend to continue with us in August, there is nothing more you need to do. Your registration will remain in our system and will carry over to our fall season. For those of you who did not register earlier this year, but would like to participate in our delayed season, we will be reopening registration in the next few weeks. Keep an eye out for that announcement.
We understand that there are some families who are not comfortable with their children playing any sports this year. We also understand that some players may have other commitments to fall sports and cannot play LL during that time. For those families, we provided the options below that will allow for a full or partial refund of your registration fees. As you decide, please keep in mind that LLL is a 100% volunteer run organization, but stills incurs many costs throughout the year, even when games are not being played. From utilities, mowing, maintenance, fertilization, and ongoing improvements, we have expenses regardless of public health emergencies. If your child(ren) do not intend to participate in our delayed August season, the following options are available:
No refunds will be processed without this form being completed. If we do not receive a refund or donation request by June 15, your registration fees will remain applied to our August season. Any refund requests after this date will have a $40 administration & operational fee applied to them.
Lebanon LL is a 501(c)(3) organization, ID 35-6051280, so any donation may be tax-deductible. If you convert your registration fees and/or fundraiser deposit to a donation, we will provide a letter documenting your donation, but we suggest you consult with your financial advisor for tax advice.
It is possible that we will need to re-draft teams and/or reassign managers and coaches if our registration numbers change significantly or if we lose coaches or managers. This means the team and coach you thought your child was playing with this year, or the team you thought you were managing or coaching this year, could change. We will certainly communicate all updates/changes well before the August start.
As we all have been waiting for things get better, our Board of Directors has continued to prepare our ballpark for play. You may have even driven by one evening and have seen the lights on. That’s just a sign that our dedicated volunteers are out there working late to ensure our facility remains one of the best around. When we return this fall, you will see many new upgrades, including new scoreboards on Fields 1 & 2; new artificial pitching mound on Field 1; new bleachers on Field 4; additional security lighting on the Field 3 press box; and several upgrades to our bathrooms to create a cleaner and healthier environment featuring reduced touch fixtures.
To our sponsors: we truly appreciate the continued support of our program. It is our intention to deliver the same level of sponsorship that you so graciously donated to. If there are any changes to our sponsor program, we will reach out to you personally to discuss. Thank you again for your support! We could not do this without you!
We want to thank our entire Little League family for their patience and support as we continue to navigate these uncertain times. We look forward to our potential softball, baseball, and Tball seasons this fall, and hope to see everyone later this summer!
Stay safe!
