Subject: Notice of New USSSA Mandatory Health & Safety Procedures
Due to concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and in accordance with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other health authorities, USSSA is implementing some new, mandatory health and safety procedures as part of a proactive approach to preventing the spread of germs.
Throughout the USSSA organization, we are adopting these new measures effective immediately. We cannot stress enough how vital it is that all USSSA participants adhere to these guidelines.
“No-Contact/No-Handshake” Policy
USSSA is immediately instituting a precautionary “no-contact, no-handshake policy” to be observed at every level of the organization until further notice. This includes all physical contact and extends to customary game-related activities, such as pre-game coaches’ handshakes, umpire-coach introductions, and post-game handshakes between members of opposing teams. Instead, staff, players and coaches should use verbal queues, such as saying “good game,” without shaking hands, high-fiving or fist-bumping.

Our school district just cancelled school next week and our rec ball just cancelled practice and games indefinitely. They have also closed the fields until further notice so you can't use the fields to practice on your own.
Anna’s college just cancelled their softball season! She’s a freshman, it sucks but she’ll live, I feel truly sorry for the seniors, in college and high school!
Yes I am fully expecting there will be no softball or any sports until June at the earliest and unless there are sure signs of containment by mid may expect it last into Summer
I’m surprised (more) travel hasn’t cancelled yet. Will soon, I’m thinking.
And if it doesn’t, we can’t go because we have immune deficiency issues in our household. No way I’m risking it.
so our team is down their #1 pitcher. And perhaps another family is like us.
