Winter Haven Senior Softball

Thursday, June 4th

Hey Everyone, we are getting closer to playing ball. I Hope. The Governor's Phase 2 plan goes into effect tomorrow but it does not mention adult softball. Neither does Phase 3. That's not good. However, the plan does mention large sporting events and that could include us. I will be discussing the Phase 2 plan with the City of Winter Haven next week. We will see how they interpret the Phase 2 plan. 

Polk County is opening up their ball parks on Monday, June 8th. You can go take batting practice on their fields but no organized adults leagues will be allowed to play. That means Winter Haven Senior Softball.

Hopefully that will change in a week or two because the County is allowing Florida Half Century to play a 50's softball tournament on June 20-21. The July 11-12 FHC 60's tournament has been approved by the County so thing are getting better in the county.

The City of Lakeland will open their fields to practice on Monday, June 8th. You can look at the Lakeland Senior Softball website for details. I will be in Lakeland at the Southwest Fields on Monday morning at 9:00 AM to have batting practice for anyone who wants to show up. If it is raining, I won't be there. I will post something from my phone to let you know. CDC Guidelines and Social Distancing will be required.

That is the latest news. Stay Safe, Wash Your Hands, Practice Social Distancing, Wear a Mask in Public and most important, if you are sick, stay home.

Don Witmer, Commissioner
