• Spectators will be required to wear masks while at the complex.  If spectators don’t want to wear masks, they must wait in their vehicles.  This is non-negotiable.
• Players and coaches will be required to wear masks on the way in/out of the fields and while in the dugouts.  It is suggested (but not required) that they wear it out in the field of play.  Coaches will be required to wear masks whenever they cannot physically distance from players.
• We will have them space their equipment out 6’ apart along the fence line and also use hand sanitizer on the way in/out of the tryout and encourage social distancing as much as possible (ie spread them out on the field when hitting ground balls/fly balls)
