Season Resumption Guide - Prepare

We understand that many of our districts, leagues, volunteers, parents, and players want to get back to the Little League® field, and so do we, but our primary focus is on the safety and well-being of all of our members around the world.

Little League International will continue to monitor the progression of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak both in the United States and around the world and provide updates to its local leagues and districts, however, it is highly encouraged that each league and district adheres to the guidelines set forth by their national, state/provincial, and local government and health officials in terms of public gatherings and sporting events when determining when it is safe to return to normal activities. Leagues should contact their local health authority for guidance prior to resuming any Little League activities.

In the event that your league and/or community experiences a COVID-19 outbreak and/or is connected to a positive COVID-19 diagnosis of one of your participants, visit LittleLeague.org/Coronavirus for additional information.
