EBYAA COVID-19 Guidelines and Best Practices for EBYAA

• Please do your part in practicing Social Distancing of 6ft and following CDC guidelines.
• We recommend every spectator bring your own chair for seating.
• Bleacher seating will be limited to allow for social distancing in place.
• No Sunflower seeds at the park.
• No post-game handshakes, elbows or fist bumps. In order to continue promoting good sportsmanship, teams will line up in front of dugout and tip hat to acknowledge good game from their opponent.
• Every team MUST thoroughly clean their dugout of all trash.
• Only 1 person allowed in the scorebox behind home plate unless it is family.  
• Because of the size of the dugouts, all player bat bags must sit outside of the dugouts on all fields except F1, F3 and F5 where space allows for bags to sit inside the dugout.
• Our recommendation is to allow only 2 people in bathrooms facilities at the same time because of the confined space.
• All children must be accompanied by an adult at all times, especially in the bathroom facility.
• All concession staff and umpires will have their temperature taken when they arrive at the facility.
• Concession will have digital thermometers on hand for anyone in need of getting their temperature tested.
• The Park will be have mask available if anyone feels like they need one and do not have one available.
• There will be 10-12 hand sanitizing stations mounted throughout the ballpark for easy access.
• Game times will be spaced out with possible modification to game duration in order to allow teams and parents to vacate field and facility before next game begins.
• EBYAA will employ third party cleaning service to thoroughly clean and sanitize all bathrooms 3x a week ( basically, before every game)
• We recommend cashless transactions at the concession.

We want to thank our entire East Brainerd family and surrounding communities for your
continued support of EBYAA. The beginning of this season has been unpredictable and unprecedented with dealing with the Covid-19, in combination with the Tornado damages we sustained at the park.  We are doing everything we can to get back on the field and give you a baseball/softball season.
EBYAA is excited to announce that we have set the anticipated dates of the start of our season. We are anticipating most of the tornado damage to be repaired, with the exception of the parking lot,  by June 15th. With that mind, we will look to start team practices at the EBYAA facility on June 16 and expect games will start to be played during the week of July 6. We are looking at playing the season 7/6 - 8/15. 
We will be passing out uniforms next Saturday, June 6. The location will be at Christ United Methodist Church. The church is located at 8645 E. Brainerd Rd Chattanooga, Tn. 37421. ( corner of E. Brainerd/ Morris Hill Rd).  Uniform pick up schedule has been posted on website. 
We can't wait to see everyone back on the field.
