Dear SEBR families,
The Southeastern Babe Ruth League Board of Directors would like to thank you for your patience during this trying time in our history. It has not been easy for any of us during this pandemic, especially without baseball.
There is finally good news though, and a light at the end of the tunnel!
June 15th will be our official date to begin practices.
June 29th will be our first night of competitive baseball game – Season Begins!
We will play through July and into August with our season ending tournament concluding at Whitaker Bank Ballpark. We know that several of you play on travel ball teams and will be competing on the weekends. We will try to limit travel ball conflicts as we can, but know because of our compressed season, we will be filling every available time slot to play. Our season should consist of a minimum of 10-12 games to upwards of 15 (pending rainouts, conflicts, etc).
If you have concerns about the time commitment, or playing during this pandemic, we are of course sympathetic. Our COVID guidelines will be available for viewing on our website. We will be taking every precaution to make sure we have a safe and healthy season while still allowing for normal baseball. We will also have an exposure plan should anyone become infected during the season. We are taking every possible precaution to make sure that everyone will be safe during our season.
The City and our league are drawing up a WAIVER that everyone MUST SIGN in order to play. This is merely to state that you understand the risks associated with playing. This will also be listed on our website, but we will also have hard copies for you during your first practices. These will need to be signed BY THE START of practice #2.
If for whatever reason you do not wish to play this season, we will need written notification by June 15th. If you do wish to play this season, but have not paid your fees to date, please click here to make your 2020 Spring/Summer league fee payment.
Again, thank you for your patience and for sticking with us and sticking together. As I am sure you have heard multiple times from various sources, ‘We will get through this together.’ We share that sentiment here at SEBR, but also believe that baseball will help even more!
