As spring break is getting closer, and with today’s announcement from Dr. Henry on outdoor gatherings of up to ten people, it is timely to remind everyone of th...e current guidelines for sport Youth or Minor Teams - No games or scrimmages - Teams are permitted to take part in practise, either indoors or outdoors while observing appropriate physical distancing and mask protocols at all times. ( 2 metre distance when not engaged in physical softball activities, 3 metre distance when doing physical softball activities) (masks mandatory when indoors and NOT engaged in softball activity, exceptions being participants under the age of 12, masks are recommended when outdoors or engaged in softball activity) - Practises are restricted to only with members of a team, no mixing of teams or clubs for practise - Clinics are pre-registration, physical distancing at all times, size of gathering is determined by the facility.

As well, organized advocacy groups are in contact with the sport ministry to ensure our concerns are heard. We don’t know when the current restrictions will begin to be eased off, but it will be a gradual and deliberate process. Please continue to follow the guidelines and criteria you have in place, keeping our members and our community safe remains our top priority. Thank you Rick Benson Executive Director, Softball BC

We are lucky within Langley Rep Fastpitch to have 2 associations supporting all of our Fusion and Xtreme teams! In order for them to continue to do this and grow the game at the grass roots level we need to help them get the word out about registration within their 'C' programs. North Langley Softball is the go to place for kids that live North of 72nd and Langley Fastball is for those kids that live South of 72nd. Registration for both associations is currently open. ...

Lest we forget.

With the new public health order announcement yesterday from Dr. Bonnie Henry, we know there is some confusion and concern among our families and coaches. We have now had confirmation from Softball BC regarding what this means for us. All softball related activities within the Lower Mainland have reverted back to Inning 1 protocols for at least the next two weeks, until Nov 23rd, effectively immediately. Please see the attachments for Softball BC's announcement and also the o...utline of Inning 1. This means we can still practice but MUST follow the rules listed below: Social distancing MUST be maintained. Sanitization of shared equipment and hands MUST be done on a regular basis during a practice. Absolutely no games or scrimmages are allowed. In order to ALL do our part to flatten the curve and allow us to get back to our Inning 3 we are strongly suggesting the following from our families: STAY HOME if you are sick at all. Wear masks whenever possible. Wash or sanitize your hands whenever possible. As we have all learned through the last few months, this direction could change again on a moment's notice. We will update you if we are informed of any changes. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to us or your coaches.
