BAA Statement on COVID -19

BAA COVID-19 Update 7/21/2020

The Bloomington Athletic Association (BAA) is committed to protecting the health and safety of our sports families and the broader community. We are closely monitoring Bloomington Public Schools BPS and the City of Bloomington for our planning and preparation for COVID-19/Coronavirus and will be following their lead on decisions to cancel activities.

COVID-19 Social Distancing Policy for all BAA Sports until further notice (7/20/2020): ALL BAA Volunteers working with players (coaches, assistant coaches, volunteers organizing kids, umpires, etc) will be required to wear a face mask at all times while at the field with parents, guardians and/or players present. This is a change from our original guideline stating face masks were strongly encouraged, but not required for Coaches.

Taking this action will minimize the effect to the BAA teams if a coach was exposed to other people that had been diagnosed with COVID-19.

Sport Specific policies can be found on the Sports Page on our site.

The Bloomington Athletic Association (BAA) is committed to protecting the health and safety of our sports families and the broader community. We continue to follow all CDC guidelines and are closely monitoring Bloomington Public Schools (BPS) mitigation activities for COVID-19/Coronavirus and will continue to follow their lead on guidelines for hosting sporting activities.

We encourage all volunteers, families, and players to utilize recommended precautions to minimize the risk of spreading the virus. If you have any immediate questions regarding the upcoming season, please feel free to e-mail Stephanie Nicholson at baaonline1954@gmail.com or call at 952.373.1563.

Traveling Softball – Slow Pitch

by

WHO: 12U (under 12), 14U , 16U and 19U.

January 1st is the cutoff.  So for 12u, as long as your player is 12 or under on Jan 1st, they can play 12u ball.  Same for 14u and 16u.

WHAT:

  • 4 weekend tournaments
    • Richfield: June 13 – 14
    • Golden Valley: June 27 – 28
    • Burnsville: July 11 – 12
    • State Tournament: July 25 – 26
    • Nationals in Watertown, SD: July 31 – August 2nd (this would be an added tournament fee if we go.  Would need to have at least 10 players to commit)
  • If you cannot make a tournament weekend, that is totally acceptable.
  • Practice twice per week.

WHEN: Practices start in mid-May. It is possible to play scrimmages against other communities. This would take in-place of the practice times.

WHY: Girls looking to do traveling are looking for the excitement of tournament play.  Girls who do traveling are also looking to develop their softball skills through ample practice time.

COACHING: As always we are completely dependent on you as parents to help make this sport the best it can be by volunteering your time as a head coach, assistant coach, refereeing, scorekeeper or timekeeper. What better way to be involved with your children than to be a part of their team during the season. Without you, we cannot run this program!

 

REGISTRATION/ FEES: $220.00
