As we navigate the many changes resulting from COVID-19, we at Casper Youth Baseball Little League have had to adjust a few things based on recommendations from The CDC, Little League International, Wyoming Department of Health and Natrona County Health Department. In the coming weeks, we should be able to provide you with better answers as the situation progresses.

The Board of Directors met last night and wanted to make sure that our coaches are kept as up-to-date as possible on any changes.

The following is a list of things that you need to know:

Next Board Meeting- The Casper Youth Baseball Little League Board of Directors, will meet again on March 30th at 5:30 PM via a zoom conference call . This is how we have been conducting our meetings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you would like to tune in to this meeting from the comfort of your home, we are providing the link to the zoom call in the calendar on the website (cybaseball.com). Click on the Calendar of Season Event tab, look for the March 30th date and click on the board meeting listed, you will see the zoom link in the description.

League Activities- Currently, we are on temporary suspension until April 6th. This means no Little League activities, to include practices, can take place prior to this date. We will reevaluate this at our March 30th meeting.

Equipment Pickup- Equipment pick up dates for March 25th and 27th are cancelled and the new dates are to be determined once the group restrictions are lifted.

Little League Tournament Dates- As of now there have been no tournament dates changed according to Little League International. They are however working on several different scenarios to adjust accordingly when this is all through. One of those things that they have mentioned is an adjustment to the minimum number of games played to qualify for tournaments.

Northwest Region Umpire Clinic in Casper- The umpire clinic in April has been canceled. What they did tell us is that we will be hosting it again next year.

Season Dates- Currently, our season start dates for practices and games are in a holding pattern. Hopefully the next 10 to 14 days we will have a better answer.

Up-To-Date Information- During this time, we will keep you as up to date as possible. The situation is extremely fluid and changing every day. We will put out information as we deem relevant. Currently, Casper Youth Baseball is ready to start their season at a moment’s notice. All teams are rostered, coaches should be in contact with parents and players, uniforms have been ordered and we're just waiting on the word that we can play. Please get the word out to our families that the best place for current information will be our websitecybaseball.comand our Facebook page @CYB 16. These are the places that information will come out first.

Background Checks- If you have received a request for a background check please get it filled out as soon as possible. Email[email protected]with any questions. We have gotten through about half the list and will be working on the rest over the next few days.

Fields- Due to the pushback in schedule we do not think fields will be available this year for practices.

We are all frustrated that the start of the season has been delayed. We have worked diligently at making sure everything was on track and have been abruptly shut down. We believe that the leaders in both the government and the Little League organization have everyone's well-being in mind with this decision and while many of us may not agree with it, at this time it is what is best. Please stress to your players families that the best place for up-to-date information will be on our website and Facebook first. League wide emails will be sent out after updating our internet resources. While it may look a little different, we'll be playing baseball before you know it.

Please do not hesitate to contact Casper Youth Baseball with any questions you have. We are working through this just like everyone else and will do our best to provide answers as we are able.
