- Sharing catching equipment is strongly discouraged.
- Players will be required to have there own water bottle and encouraged to have there own equipment.

The goal of having this season is to give kids a chance to play ball instead of sitting out for a whole year. We will encourage a slightly more relaxed environment in games and practices at all levels, recognizing that things are different this year.
We will do our best to have the season run as smooth as possible.
Thanks,
