Wednesday, May 27th.
I hope that everyone is doing fine and staying healthy. There has been a couple of changes since my last post on May 13th. Here is what I know right now.
The City of Winter Haven updated their website on May 21, 2020 and it still shows that the Diamondplex will be open for playing ball on Friday, June 12th. They are calling this the Phase 5 opening and are limiting the attendance to less than 50 persons. Not sure how that effects our softball league but I will be looking for more detail as the time gets closer.
Polk County updated their website today and they are going to open up their ball fields on Monday, June 8th. If you want to go to a County ballpark and have batting practice, you will be allowed to do so. You will need to adhere to the CDC guidelines and social distancing requirements.
The City of Lakeland website still shows they are going to wait on the governors Phase 2 plan to be announced before they open up their ball parks. This may change anytime.
There are a lot of rules that we will have to comply with when we start playing softball again. I have seen the rules put out by USSSA, FHC and Don Lamay sent me a copy of the rules that they are going to use in Michigan. Softball will not be the same as it was in March when we left Poinciana. I am sure that Winter Haven Park and Recreation will have some rules for us to follow. As soon as I know what they are proposing, we will have a Board meeting to discus how we are going to implement these rules and what additional rules that the Board may want to enforce.
That's all for now. Stay Safe, Wash Your Hands, Practice Social Distancing, Wear a Mask in Public and if you are sick, stay home.
Don Witmer, Commissioner
Winter Haven Senior Softball
