What is Summer 2020 Teenage all about?

• Based on AHS and Alberta Little League Guidelines, Fish Creek Little League will be able to off a Teenage Interlock House League Program.  In following these guidelines, our games will be played within a cohort system.

Details on Cohorts:

• The 50-person cohort rules applies to players AND coaches within the group.
• Players and coaches must remain part of the same cohort for the entire season and may not be part of multiple cohorts.  This means that if a coach wants to coach multiple teams (as many due) they may only pick one to be their cohort where they can break the physical distancing rule (without a mask).
• If a Division has more than 50 players and coaches, they will need to be divided in groups of no more than 50 and only play against teams/players from their own group.
• Physical distancing within a cohort will not need to be maintained during game play (essentially, they will be able to play games as they normally would).
• Physical distancing will need to be maintained when note playing (i.e in dugouts/on benches).
• Separation from spectators and good hygiene practices will be in effect.

 

Details on League Play and Team Formation?

• There may be some modified rules (such as no leading off and no balks) however nothing has been finalized or made official as of yet.
• There will not be an evaluation process for this summer season.
• Due to the time restraint, teams will be formed utilizing league knowledge (Coach, Director and VP from the previous year) and last years evaluation numbers.
• **Team sizes and number of teams in each cohort are subject to change based on registration numbers, City, Provincial and AHS Guidelines.**
