Our Commitment to the 2022 Season

The Leaside Baseball Association is committed to the health and safety of our players, parents, and the greater community. We will operate our baseball programming in accordance with the health and safety laws and measures as required by the provincial government, City of Toronto, Toronto District School Board, and the Ontario Baseball Association. As these policies develop, this may result in changes to the programming as we have outlined below. We will communicate any changes to you in a timely manner.

Ready With COVID-19 Health And Safety Measures

Leaside Baseball House League will operate in accordance with, and subject to, all provincial and municipal COVID-19 requirements and guidelines. The policies and recommendations we have implemented to increase the health and safety of our campers are:

• Each diamond will be assigned two Leaside Baseball Instructors as well as parent volunteers for the duration of the program week with dedicated equipment. 
• Each team will then be assigned to one of two diamonds each evening; each team will rotate through each (1) batting, (2) infield defense and (3) outfield defense. This is done to reduce the length of time of close proximity of the players while waiting to bat.
• Physical distancing will be enforced between each cohort and group. 
• A “no sharing” rule will apply to gloves, water bottles and food. 
• Spectators are asked to limit attendance to immediate family and physically distance themself from each other.
