Dear AOR Families,
Our Abbott-O-Rabbit Little League board was recently notified that a temporary suspension of activities was put forth by Little Leagues national office until May 11th. We have discussed this as a board and feel that fortunately this falls in line with our regular season schedule. The only area we see immediately affected will be the Player Evaluations that were scheduled for April 11th. This is a minor set back that we will look to schedule closer to our opening day and more importantly the possibility of being held outside.
With this statement we want to assure everyone of our plan to continue forward and feel that our 600 youth baseball and softball players will be more eager than ever to get back on the field this year. We encourage everyone to continue with registration which we will extend to early May.
Please continue to follow the practices put forth by our local government and educate yourself on the updates that are continually given. Here are some resources to help with that effort…

From our friends at Baseballism:
Playing catch will not be cancelled – Hitting into a net will not be cancelled – Studying the game will not be cancelled – Push-ups will not be cancelled – Your love of the game will not be cancelled
