Will baseball / softball players and coaches be required to wear masks?

As of May 13, 2021 all non-vaccinated coaches and players would be required to wear masks in dugouts and when 6-foot distancing is not possible (ex. waiting in line at the batting cages, base coaches talking to players).  On the field during practices and games, masks will not be required.

Travel teams are required to follow the Covid rules of the facilities they visit.

How will these rules be enforced?

Honor system.

Will all sports at Deep Run be following the same Covid guidelines?

No, each sport has a governing body with it's own set of rules.  Little League has recommended that leagues follow state and local guidelines.  Therefore, we will be following DRVSA and local Bucks DOH guidelines as described above.
