Covid-19 Guidance
Each team will receive a bottle of hand sanitizer to use throughout the season.
If a player or someone in the immediate household test positive for Covid-19 the player should not attend any practices or games until completing the current CDC quarantine guidelines found at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus
Parents/guardians of any player that: 1) tests positive for COVID-19; 2) shows any symptoms of COVID-19; 3) has been notified of close contact with a person who has tested positive COVID-19, are required to immediately inform their player’s coach and/or a NBYAA board member @ NBYAAboard@gmail.com.
The NBYAA is a group of volunteers, not health professionals, who are trying to give the kids an opportunity to play baseball and softball this spring.
All of these COVID guidelines are subject to change with or without notice based on further recommendations from federal, state, and local health officials.
We look forward to fun & exciting spring season.
Thank You,
NBYAA Board
