To promote the development of strong character, a right attitude, a sense of responsibility and citizenship in youngsters using the game of baseball as a vehicle.
Based on the recent updates from the CDC, Dixie Youth Baseball strongly advises our leagues to postpone all league activities including practices and scheduled games until further notice. We urge DYB leagues to follow these guidelines of the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as our country works its way through this historic pandemic in an effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
We are optimistic about being able to resume play in the next few weeks after we get clarity on the spread of the virus and treatment options. Dixie Youth Baseball is monitoring this situation and working on various scenarios for our 2020 season. Please contact your State Director about specif changes to tournament schedules in your state.
In response to the global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, the CDC has recommended that all Americans wash their hands frequently, self-isolate when they're sick or suspect they might be, and start "social distancing" (essentially, avoiding other people whenever possible) right away. To comply, many states have temporarily closed public schools, and many businesses have advised employees to work from home if possible. On March 16th, the CDC (cdc.gov) and the President’s Coronavirus Guidelines (coronavirus.gov) both advised that all events and gatherings of 10 people or more should be canceled or postponed until early May.
Dixie Youth Baseball also recommends that our local leagues follow the guidance of their local governments, school boards and local health department recommendations before resuming regular season play.
