Updates on Safety:

WBSA Covid 19 Rules and Regulations for Whitman Little League Phase 2 (Practices)
We have hand sanitizer and wipes for use by the players and coaches. Coaches and League officers will have marked and will know where they are. All Players must have their own helmet. If you can’t get a helmet for your child, WBSA will provide one. Players are also urged to have their own bats. All players must use their own glove and batting gloves. No sharing of these. All Players must have their own water bottle, thermos, and any personal food items to be kept with their equipment in their dedicated fence section area. Please inform coaches of any medical issues prior to first practice.
Please have your kids use the bathroom at home right before they go to practices. Bathrooms will be open if needed. Rules state that bathrooms should be used as little as possible.
We want All Players and Coaches to remain healthy, so please be smart and respectful of Our Whitman Baseball community. We will ask All Players and a Guardian (Parent) to sign the rules for 2020 as we will Strictly enforce the Rules and Restrictions.
We will have some additional game rules and regulations when the Governor signs off in the next few weeks. Parents must also adhere to Social Distancing and we will enforce this. All the fields have plenty of space and area for parents or guardians to watch. Each fence section is over 6 feet apart, so we ask you to use these separate sections for each family.
We are excited to start and appreciate the Board of Health, Town Officials, and our Board of Directors that worked very hard to get us back to playing Whitman Baseball this year. We know this is a lot but we want to make sure we are thorough and professional as we conduct this important and very much needed 2020 Baseball Season.

Thanks and Play Ball!
