Hello from all of us here at L’Anse Creuse Little League,
We hope everyone is safely weathering the current pandemic and is
doing what they can to help those in need and preventing the spread of
this virus. We all know someone who has been affected by this virus and
many of us know somebody who has passed as a
result of its effects. In relation to this, the Executive Board
Members of LCBB have anguished over the past couple of months as to what
we could do about the upcoming season. As event after event has been
cancelled or postponed, we were reminded as to the
primary function of Little League is to help make better people and a
stronger community through youth sports in a healthy environment. This
has lead us to discuss options with local officials and medical
professionals to arrive at the following decision.
We are officially cancelling the LCBB 2020 Spring/Summer Baseball
Season. This was influenced by the cancellation of the Little League
World Series earlier this month along with the cancellation of all
Little League sanctioned tournaments in the state
of Michigan. With the dynamic nature of this situation, we have
decided this will be the best option at this time; not only for our LCBB
players and families but our volunteers as well.
Therefore we will be refunding all 2020 registrants for the
Spring/Summer season. We will not be able to refund the $3.00 register
fee from Blue Sombrero as they have charged that to each individual
registrant as a processing fee. If you are interested
in donating your registration fee for the 2020 Spring/Summer Season to
LCBB for future improvements with our league that would be greatly
appreciated, you can do so by contacting Dave Kaynor at
[email protected] and he will help in making those arrangements.
We
have not given up on the hope of a 2020 Baseball Season as of yet. We
are currently putting together plans for a 2020
Fall Ball Season for LCBB in the chance that restrictions are lifted by
the State of Michigan and the C.D.C., and we will be able to play
baseball as we know it. The details of the Fall Season are being
assembled at the moment, but we envision a season taking
place in mid/late summer and into the fall. There will be differences
in this shortened season which will be reflected in the cost. Please
watch for this information to come to you under the email you used to
register with LCBB also on our Facebook Page
and at lcbb.org
Please understand this is not a decision that was made lightly. We
want nothing more than to be back on the ball fields with all of you,
our LCBB Families, and we will be once the current crisis has passed and
we can do so safely. As this situation continues
to develop we will get more solid dates and supply them to you at
once. We ask that you please give us a bit of time to figure out some
of the logistics. We all thank you for being so supportive.
We will be in touch, be safe, be strong and hopefully soon we will all be able to say “PLAY BALL !!!!!!!!”
Kindest of regards from all of us,
Chris Yakey – President
Jed Jones – Vice President
Kyle Nirganakis – Secretary
Dave Kaynor - Treasurer
