Yes, the 2021 WVBR baseball season is upon us and unless Covid-19 gets considerably worse locally, 2021 registration is now open in most areas, and evaluation dates & sites, listed below, have been announced! Take a look below to see where and when your child will evaluate for the 2021 baseball season.

With that said, this will be a different kind of season. One, in human, layman, terms, that will be played with all players, coaches, umpires, and limited fans, wearing facemasks, or face coverings, and with participants staying apart, where possible. State guidelines allow WVBR to have up to 50 participants, including coaches, umpires and fans, per field, and if you are planning on signing your child up this season you will not only be agreeing to the field requirements, but also signing a waiver of liability for Covid-19, good sportsmanship agreements and the agreement that for 2021, WVBR is a mandatory mask league, and that all involved will adhere to those items. If the Governor’s guidance changes, then WVBR will change with it, however, we are prepared to play the entire season, with masks and face coverings being required. If those rules are not for you, then please sit out this season with WVBR, as non- adherence to these outlined rules could end the season almost immediately. Respect, good sportsmanship and following the rules will be more important than ever in 2021, if we are to have a successful season. I am confident however, that with respect for baseball, each other, and our kids, that we will have a fun and successful youth baseball season ahead of us. And, we all here at WVBR are doing are best at planning the 2021 season, that will be here soon. Games for the Cal Ripken division’s start on April 26th. Please check back weekly here, and at your area web sites, for more information–“Let’s Play Ball!”

Sincerely,
Mike Nicholsen, WVBR League President.
