Thank you to everyone who was able to attend this morning’s virtual meeting. To recap I have included below what was discussed:

We are still talking to Snohomish County about whether we can use the Twin Rivers fields. The county has no plans to maintain the fields but perhaps if we maintain them during our season the county will allow us to reserve them. City of Everett is still not reserving fields for Henry M Jackson. Once we have a better idea of how many teams are interested in playing this year we will know how many fields we need.

Please respond to softball@nccsfl.org to let us know if your team is interested in playing this upcoming season. We will be having another virtual league meeting Saturday March 27th @ 9am. Link to the meeting will be sent out closer to the meeting.

If anyone has questions, concerns or comments please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are eager and look forward to getting back on the field so that we can get back to what the league is all about which is fellowship.

• No tournaments allowed for moderate and high risk sports. A prohibition on tournaments for sporting activities does not include postseason, playoff, state or regional championship competitions with no more than four teams at one site sanctioned by a statewide interscholastic activities administrative and rulemaking body that oversees competition in all counties in the state.
• Athletes, coaches, umpires/referees, spectators and any other paid or volunteer staff should be required to stay home if they feel unwell, show any signs of COVID-19, or are a close contact of a confirmed case.
• Keep a roster of every athlete, staff and volunteer present at each practice, training session, and contest to assist with contact tracing in the event of a possible exposure.
