Quinte Baseball season cancelled

Like just about every other organization the Quinte Baseball League has cancelled their 2020 house league baseball season. (full statement below)

Spokesperson April Dutton called it a “gut wrenching decision” as organizers want nothing more than for children of the local communities to be able to play baseball.

Dutton says they have exhausted all avenues on how to protect the children with certainty against COVED-19.

She adds that with limited equipment that is shared and the handling of the baseball they could not 100% guarantee their safety.

 

It is with great regret that our Quinte Baseball League Executive has made the decision to cancel our house league baseball for the 2020 season. The health and safety of our members and players is our number one priority when these decisions are reached.

This decision is made based on the uncertainty concerning Covid 19, and the challenges of social distancing guidelines if restrictions were to be relaxed or lifted.

We know that this news will be disappointing to the children of our communities and I assure you as an executive, we share that same disappointment! Our hope is to ensure that by making this difficult decision, we will be able to return to the game we love so much with no restrictions in 2021. Thank you in advance for your understanding, we are in this together!

Stay Safe
