Baseball Sask announced Thursday they had been given clearance by the Sask Business Response Team to officially return to the field as part of Phase One of their Return to Train and Play protocol, but further information on Friday revealed that any kind of play outdoors will have to wait until at least the first part of Phase 4.
What that means is local organizations once again find themselves on hold -- hopefully for only a short time -- before they can start taking registrations and start hitting the field for sanctioned practices effective immediately.
When they do, they’ll be doing so under a stringent set of rules and regulations designed to eliminate the potential spread of COVID-19 as much as possible, as noted in a recent article on MooseJawToday.com.
The ability to play actual games will likely be held off until Phase 4.2 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan, when the number of people allowed at outdoor gatherings is raised beyond the current limit of 30.
