May 8 update letter to families

AOR Families,

First of all we hope this update finds your family healthy and ready for summer, I know our Abbott O Rabbit Board sure is ready.

The Municipality of Anchorage has moved their health mandates to Phase 2.  What does that mean for Little League?...that our season start date is getting closer.  Parks and Recreation is looking to issue use permits per submission requirements, so District 1 Little League (our district) is actively working on guidelines and procedures to provide the safest possible environment. This safety plan will be presented to the Municipality on behalf of all Anchorage Little Leagues for consistency and mutual understanding.  Upon receipt of this plan AOR will begin to build the 2020 season.

For now, we ask all players get outside and start throwing and hitting.  It won't be long before we get to put those skills to use.

Please remind your friends and teammates to visit www.abbottorabbit.org  to register for the 2020 season!

More updates to follow.

Sincerely,

Brian Partch
President
Abbott-O-Rabbit
Little League

 

March 17 letter to families

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…

• Text: ANCHEALTH to 888-777 for updates

From our friends at Baseballism:
