Summer Baseball FAQs - Updated June 11,2020

By Millbrae Baseball Board 06/03/2020, 10:30am PDT

What is the schedule for the camp?

The schedule will be separated into two 3-week sessions (Session 1: June 15 - July 3, Session 2: July 6 - July 24). Each coach will determine start and end time based on field availability. Each team will be allocated 2 times which may include weeknight and weekend days. Each will be between 1 to 2 hours, depending on the players age and coaches’ schedule.

 

How are group assignments determined?

Teams will be based on your Spring team assignments. However, minor adjustments may be made to adhere to local summer camp rules and safety protocols, prior to the start of any camp.

 

Will any games be played against other teams?

No games will be played against other teams until permitted by local guidelines. Our current plan is only for team camp.

 

Can a player also attend another camp/team during the same dates?

No, a player cannot attend any other live camp or be part of any other team during each specific 3 week session. Players are allowed to attend online/virtual camps during those dates.

 

Where will the camps be located?

Camps will be at either Taylor Middle School, Green Hills Elementary, or Glen Oaks Field. 

 

Will there be a refund if we choose not to attend the camps?

There will be no refunds due to expenses already incurred (e.g. uniforms, field rentals, insurance, field maintenance, and equipment). However, we are looking into providing some form of credit or discount for the next Spring season.

 

Are baseballs considered shared equipment? Updated as of 6/11/2020

Yes, baseballs are considered shared equipment and must be sanitized after each drill, no 2 players can touch the ball before being sanitized. Coaches may need to wear gloves for some drills.

While within their stable group, children and caregivers/coaches may share equipment, from County of San Mateo website.  Although this allows the sharing of baseballs, we still recommend not sharing any other baseball equipment including catchers gear. We will still provide sanitizer for teams to clean equipment including balls.

 

Who will be coaching the camps?

The plan is to have the current Spring coaches and assistant coaches manage their current team. Depending on the number of players, some teams may be combined with other teams, the maximum number of players will still be 12.

 

Will the bathrooms or portable bathrooms be open during camp? If yes, what is the cleaning procedure?

Bathrooms will be closed, but can be opened in an emergency. Coach or assistant coach would need to open and sanitize bathroom after each use.

 

Will there be any traditional summer all-star/travel teams?

TBD - depending on the local guidelines, teams may be formed later in the summer or fall.

 

What are the safety protocols?

Please refer to this LINK for all the latest safety protocols. The document will be updated based on the latest county health guidelines.

Millbrae Baseball COVID-19 Update: 4/30/2020

By Millbrae Baseball Board 04/30/2020, 9:45am PDT

Hi Millbrae Baseball Families,

 

We hope that you and your family are healthy and safe, as we all do our best to push forward during these uncertain times. As we learned this week, public health officials in San Mateo county have extended the COVID-19 stay-at-home order through May.  The Millbrae Baseball Board is waiting on making any final decisions on our current season until we receive further updates from state and local governments, and most importantly, we will follow any future guidance from San Mateo County Public Health Department on group gatherings. This is a rapidly evolving situation and our goal is to provide the best baseball experience for our players, if it is deemed safe to do so. We appreciate your patience with us as we try our best to work towards a solution.

 

If possible, our plan is to have some form of organized baseball activities during the summer months. We know kids and parents miss outdoor activities, hanging out with friends, and especially the game of baseball.  

 

Please continue to follow social distancing and remember that all Millbrae fields remain closed. All of us hope that by following the guidelines of the shelter in place and maintaining social distancing, we can help prevent unnecessary transmission of this virus, and make for a faster recovery and a return to normal life and the opportunity to play the game we love. 

 

Please take care of yourselves, your families and our community. 

 

Sincerely, 

Millbrae Baseball Board

Millbrae Baseball COVID-19 Update

By Millbrae Baseball 03/25/2020, 3:00pm PDT

Hi Millbrae Baseball Families,

 

We hope everyone is staying healthy and safe during these unique circumstances. With shelter-in-place orders still in effect, all fields remain closed and our Spring season remains suspended. We would still like to have a season, if possible, but the timeframe will definitely shift (possibly into the summer months). We continue to follow all state and local guidance, and will provide updates once we have more information.

 

Please remember to follow social distancing in support of the need to flatten the curve, as nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our loved ones and the community. All Millbrae fields (Taylor, Green Hills, Spring Valley, Lomita, Meadows, and Glen Oaks) remain closed, including the Taylor batting cage. Please do enjoy the sun and some time outdoors, but refrain from having any official or unofficial practices at this time.

 

Hope to see you all soon. 

Millbrae Baseball Board

Spring Baseball Temporarily Suspended

By Millbrae Baseball 03/12/2020, 11:15am PDT

Dear Families,

 

We understand the concern and uncertainty you may be experiencing surrounding the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and are committed to the health and well-being of our players and their families. Out of an abundance of caution, the Millbrae School District has decided to temporarily close all fields. Effective immediately, the Spring baseball season is suspended until further notice. This applies to all practices and games, as well as opening day activities previously scheduled for Saturday 3/14.

 

Thank you for your patience and understanding. The situation is very fluid and we will continue to monitor the latest developments and guidance in coordination with the Millbrae School District. We are hopeful that the situation will improve and will resume play once it is safe to do so. 

 

We hope you and your families stay safe and will continue to keep you updated as we receive new information.
