The Coronavirus has caused a number of changes to our daily lives, and that extends to the world of youth sports. We are diligently working to make sure all of our activities are conducted in a manor where all participants and their families will be safe. We understand a number of people will have questions about this and we have put together this FAQ for that purpose. If you do not see an answer to your question here, please email President@RBBA.org and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Following the recent increase in Coronavirus cases across Montgomery County and the State of Maryland, the Rockville Baseball Association (RBBA) Crisis Committee, acting on guidance from the State of Maryland, Montgomery County and the City of Rockville,, have decided to split Phase 2 Guidelines into smaller stages that will better allow for a more measured and pliable approach which will better ensure a safe and effective return to play for RBBA participants. The status of each stage will be reviewed on a weekly basis by the RBBA Crisis Committee and appropriate changes will be made to either move Association forward or pull the reins in as warranted. These Guidelines override and supercede the Phase 1 RBBA Return to Play Guidelines.
Like the Phase 1 Guidelines, Phase 2, Stage 1 Guidelines are intended to allow a small number of Travel and Select level teams to return to the field under the State of Maryland Phase 2 Guidelines as well as set a basis for the recreational programâ??s return this Fall. At this time only Travel and Select level teams are permitted to resume practice. All other teams, including all recreational teams that play in the RBBA Spring and Fall seasons, may not return to play. We remain optimistic that we will be able to return to some version of our Fall season. For more information on this please watch www.RBBA.org.
