Hello SIBL Families,

 Together we are facing a truly unprecedented situation. The coronavirus pandemic is affecting all of our families, businesses, communities, and our way of life. I wanted to reach out and update you on what is happening here at SIBL.

 As many of you may be aware,  Los Angeles County has recently opened up youth sports with restricted protocols. When this news came out, the Board of Directors began discussing the idea of having a Fall Ball season. Unfortunately, with the guidelines that our State/Local government officials still have in place, as well as all the logistics that go into planning for a new season, it makes it very difficult for that to happen at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated.

 We are aware there are many teams locally and throughout the state that are currently playing baseball and softball and are struggling daily to find fields to play on. The Board of Directors is aware of  that need and recently voted to open up SIBL for field rentals. We are currently finalizing the details but more importantly making sure SIBL and all those that maybe interested in utilizing our fields are in strict compliance with all State, County, and City guidelines to minimize the spread of COVID-19. If you have a child that is on a team seeking a place to practice, we encourage them to consider field rental at SIBL. We looked at this as an opportunity to recoup monetary loss that incurred throughout this pandemic, help our families and reinvest back into the league. With that being said, the Board of Directors has organized a Field Clean Up weekend on August 29th/30th from 7am-3pm (a flier will be sent out to all registered families). We encourage you to join us to help clean and maintain SIBL. 

We can't wait for the day that we can have ALL the players, their families and friends back at the ballpark. We miss you all!!!

Stay safe and healthy,

Bobby Ordona

SIBL President
