Coming off a very successful fall ball program, we are excited to announce the launch of our upcoming Spring 2021 baseball season!

Key details and dates for you to be aware of:

• Registration is open at https://smlla.sportngin.com/register/form/941539121

• The deadline to sign up for the spring season is 1/25/21, and after this date we may not be able to guarantee your child is put in the division that best fits their ability.

• At this time, we are planning to have outdoor tryouts in a safe way on February 6 at Los Prados.

• Fees will be between $145 and $350 (depending on division of play) plus a separate fee payable to Nike for uniforms at a later date

• Full refunds will be given if we are unable to have a Spring 2021 baseball season at all, and refunds of any remaining registration fees will be offered if we begin our season and are unable to finish it

Our hope is that baseball this spring will look like it has in years past (i.e., a full season with regular teams and games, subject to appropriate social distancing and COVID precautions).  If we are unable to have a regular season due to public health rules, our fallback plan will be to run a Spring Academy program like our fall program (i.e., team cohorts, practices and internal team scrimmages, with the focus being on skills development and growth).  If we have a Spring Academy program instead of a regular season, it will be entirely optional and we will offer the refunds described above.

* Great new update from the state. The California Department of Public Health provided increased clarity with revised youth sports guidelines. Baseball has been labelled as an outdoor, moderate contact sport. Even if San Mateo remains in the most restrictive purple tier, teams would be able to practice in isolated cohorts while following all proper safety guidelines. Once we move into the red tier or better, SMLLA would be allowed to conduct a regular season.
