At London Softball League, the health, wellbeing, and safety of our members is our first priority. While we understand there are concerns about Covid-19, we want to reassure players that as an organisation, we’re monitoring the developing situation extremely closely and we’re following all advice issued by the Chief Medical Officer for Public Health England as well sports and softball governing bodies.
The current advice is that staying active is an important part of staying healthy and protecting against the risk of coronavirus (Covid-19). We are also currently advised to operate on a ‘business as usual’ basis, specifically, this included advice not to cancel small sporting events for time being.
As such we are working incredibly hard planning and getting the schedules ready for the start of the season, which is in approximately 6 weeks. However we are also working on contingencies should the season be disrupted.
If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like to offer help or constructive comments, please email us directly on director@londonsoftball.co.uk
