Building Better People Through Baseball
Due to the later start this year, Saturday, May 23 and Saturday, July 18 have been added to The Sandlot schedule. Please go to the Tournament Registration page and sign up for one or both tournaments. All tournament dates are filling up rapidly this year. Everyone is wanting to get on the diamond and “Play Ball.”
On Thursday, April 16, Governor Mike Parson ordered an extension to the state-wide stay-at-home order for the state of Missouri. This means that the earliest possible date for our first tournament of the year will be May 9 at The Sandlot. Sandlot Baseball is committed to the safety of our players, coaches, families, as well as our staff as we continue to work within the framework set forth by the governor, the CDC and the Lawrence County Health Department.
We are excited to return to play as soon as we receive the green light. May 9 is our new target date. We have been working hard to get the fields ready for the 2020 season. Please keep checking our website (www.sandlotbaseballmo.com) and our Facebook page (Sandlot Baseball). We look forward to seeing you all soon!
COVID-19 Update
3/29/20
We have continued to work closely with the Lawrence County Health Department, the State of Missouri and the CDC related to COVID-19 and the implementation of a suitable timeline for a safe resumption of baseball activities at The Sandlot. After collaborating with those mentioned above, we have determined it will not be safe to hold our Spring Tune Up Camp on April 5 or the tournaments on April 11th and April 18 as previously planned.
Therefore, at the recommendation of the Lawrence County Health Department and in conjunction with other government entities, Sandlot Baseball will remain closed through Friday, April 24. We will reevaluate circumstances at that time and, if cleared by the Health Department, would plan to play our first tournament on Saturday, April 25.
We encourage everyone to follow the guidelines set forth by your local health department, the State of Missouri and the CDC. Please continue to monitor the Sandlot Baseball website and our Facebook page for updates.
Be safe.
Brad and Tom
