Fall Ball
UAMBA plans on having a Fall Ball season. However, registration will start a little later than typical. Information on Fall Ball Registration will be posted as soon as plans are finalized.
UAMBA Summer Baseball
With Cumberland County moving to the Green Phase on June 12, 2020, UAMBA has began practices and the season is slated to kick off on Friday June 19, 2020. The practice schedule can be found on the menu above. Game schedules are posted under each respective division under the Team Rosters/Schedule tab above. Our COVID-19 advisory committee has put together safety guidelines for practices and games. Please review and adhere to these guidelines. All players must have a waiver/release signed by their parent/guardian before the player may practice.
UNDERSTANDING HOW COVID-19 SPREADS
As per the Governor's guidelines on youth sports, we are committed to educating our baseball community on the symptoms of COVID-19 and how it spreads. An excellent article on how the virus is commonly spread is available at: https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-exactly-do-you-catch-covid-19-there-is-a-growing-consensus-11592317650. Please take a few minutes to read this article and explain to your children. This article highlights why it is so important that adults wear face coverings when unable to social distant. Again, gaiters, which are worn around the neck and can be easily pulled up as needed, are a great option for coaches. If you identify a coach that is not adhering, please politely say something to the team manager. If lack of compliance remains an issue, report the infraction to the Board by using the contact us page at our website.
Our COVID-19 safety protocols provides a list of symptoms of COVID-19 and when to stay home. Please review and make sure that you are self policing yourself and family members. Remember that a reading over 100 degrees is an automatic NO PARTICIPATION in any baseball activity.
If you or your child have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or awaiting test results, please isolate as per CDC guidelines and notify your team's Manager immediately and the UAMBA President, Doug Marsico at doug3esq@aol.com. The League President will notify the parents of all players on that team and in that division. The name of the person will remain confidential. The UAMBA Board will then discuss next steps as it relates to continuing baseball activities for the team, level, and/or league.
