Coaches, Parents and Players,

On behalf of the Knothole Baseball Board of Directors, I would like to thank everyone for their participation in the 2020 baseball season.  I appreciate everyone’s cooperation with following the guidelines set forth by local and state officials this unprecedented season.  This was vital for the success of the season. 

As we prepare for the 2020 post-season Knothole Baseball Tournaments, we ask you to please continue to follow or continue following these guidelines.  These guidelines are updated regularly so please reach out to the complex you are playing at or local/state officials for updates.  It’s important that we continue to work together to try to keep our Knothole Baseball community as safe as possible.  Good luck to all of you in this year’s tournament season!

 Recommendations from Knothole Baseball:

 Coaches:

• Confirm that all coaches are healthy and without temperature.
• Practice social distancing at all times.
• Enforce social distancing!  Required!
• For mask; follow the guidelines set forth by the complex and, local and state officials.
• Use sanitizer regularly.

Players:

• Confirm that players are healthy and without temperature.
• Practice social distancing at all times, in and around dugout.
• Before game - wear mask from car to dugout. 
• After game – wear mask from dugout to car.
• Use sanitizer regularly.

 Parents:

• Practice social distancing at all times.  Please spread out.
• For mask; follow the guidelines set forth by the complex and, local and state officials.
• For the safety of the players and coaches we recommend the use of mask.  If medical reasons prohibit the use of a mask we understand.  Please practice social distancing.

 Special Note: 

 Coaches, please check with your tournament manager for rainout protocol at the complex where you are playing (for instance, Blue Ash Sports Complex has a rainout number).  It’s important that you know this information before the tournament starts.

Thank you,

Jeff Wiles

 President, Knothole Baseball
