As we embark on the 2021 baseball season, the health and safety of our players, spectators, coaches, and volunteers is our number one priority. Although this season will look and feel a bit different, our players will continue to play as a team, learn new skills, work hard, and have fun. We will continue our season in Phase 4 Step 1, which will allow for games. In accordance with the state of Massachusetts COVID-19 Order 43, Tewksbury Youth Baseball is implementing the following guidelines. These guidelines may be subject to revision as additional information or requirements become available. Please note that these guidelines apply to team games during Phase 4 Step 1..

  • Face Coverings: In accordance with MA guidelines for outdoor "moderate risk" sports, face coverings will be optional for players, coaches, spectators and staff going forward.   

  • Wellness: Players, coaches, spectators, and staff that are feeling ill should stay home. Individuals who are considered high risk should consult their physician before attending organizing sporting events.

  • Social Distancing: Players, coaches, spectators, and staff will be urged to remain six feet apart. Team huddles, high fives, fist pumps, etc., will be replaced with no contact forms of celebration and communication

  • Equipment: Players should utilize their own equipment.

  • Beverages: Players are responsible for providing their own beverage. Sharing of beverages will not be permitted.

  • Miscellaneous:

  • Families are encouraged to apply sunscreen and bug spray to their players before arriving to the field. Coaches are not permitted to apply sunscreen or bug spray to players.

    • All COVID-19 concerns and situations are handled with guidance from the Tewksbury Board of Health.
