NIPOMO LITTLE LEAGUE COVID GUIDELINES

With commencement of the 2021 Little League season it is imperative that each participant and family member follow strict adherence to COVID 19 guidelines.  Each player and family is expected to read and understand the California Department of Public Health recommendations for Outdoor and Indoor Youth and Recreational Adult Sports, published February 19, 2021.  The CDPH youth sport recommendations can be viewed online at:

 In addition to these recommendations, NLL will immediately implement the following items for all practices and games.

• At no time shall any individual participate in any league event or activity when showing signs or symptoms of sickness.
• All participants must wear a face covering to and from the field for any practice and/or game.
• All participants must wash their hands or use hand sanitizer prior to entering the field and upon exiting the field.
• No food, gum, sunflower seeds, etc. will be allowed on the field during any practice and/or game.  The only consumable item allowed is one drink container that has the participants name permanently written on it.  Drinks need to be maintained in the participants possession at all times or in their personal equipment bag.  Beverages are not allowed to be left out in the open to come in contact with other individuals.
• Dugouts are not to be utilized during practices.  Each player will pick their own individual fence post along the sideline to place their equipment for the duration of the practice.
• Dugouts will be used during games.  Each participant will be assigned a number on the bench and must only sit in their assigned place for the duration of the event.  Hand sanitizer shall be used prior to each entry into the dugout.  Face coverings must be worn at all times in the dugout.
• Participants shall not share clothing, hats or helmets at any practice and/or game.
• All participants shall do their best to maintain social distancing to the best of their ability during any practice and/or game.
• Player’s equipment (e.g. bags, helmets, bats, gloves, etc.) should be cleaned and disinfected after each use by a parent/guardian/caretaker, where applicable.
