UPDATE FOR AGES 9-15

I don’t know about everyone else but I’m ready for some baseball.  Hang in there we’re getting closer.  Right now here is where we stand.  Recreational businesses are not allowed to open until Friday.  There is a stay at home order and ban on groups over 10 until June 11.  The Virginia Dixie Youth board has said that we can start the season June 11.  Our plan is to resume practice June 11.  We will start games June 22 and play 2 games a week until August 8.  I am meeting with other league representatives on Wednesday to discuss what we’ll do about all stars/postseason play but our commitment is to have a regular season so that all kids can have the enjoyment of playing again and won’t miss a year of development.  All of this is based on the Governor lifting the stay at home order and ban on groups of more than 10 on June 10.  If this gets extended we will have to change again but pushing further back would start getting into fall sports and we understand there are some that will be dropping off to play fall sports so we will do everything we can to get the season in before fall sports start, in that case we would probably issue refunds and hold a new registration.  Hopefully our current plan holds, it depends on what our state officials do.  Our insurance company has suggested we get parents to sign COVID-19 liability waivers so I just wanted to let you know now that we will be getting everyone to sign one in order to play.

 
We are aware of summer vacations and know that some may miss games for vacations so we want to do everything possible to keep our teams at 12 players so teams will have enough to play while some are away for vacations. Please let us know if you have decided your child won’t play this season due to continued fears of the virus or other reasons so we can reopen registration to make sure we have 12 players on each team.  We are reopening our 7-8 year old (coach pitch)  division registration since as of now each team stands at 10 players.  Please let us know if you know of someone who has decided they want to play.
Thank you for your continued patience in all of this and please know that we are doing everything we can to start playing again and will do everything we can to make sure the kids stay safe while playing.  Please continue to pray for people to stay safe and for our government officials to make wise decisions regarding this situation.  I will update next weekend about all stars/postseason play.

2019 Spring Baseball

/ motleydixieyouth / Leave a comment

It is that time of year again, MDY.  Registration will begin tomorrow, 2/1 for the season.  This spring we have some exciting new changes to help our program run smoother and better serve our community.

This season, we will be partnering with the Altavista Area YMCA.  By doing this we are able to lower registration fees to $60 ($50 for Y members).  Also, in person registrations will be at the YMCA any time during regular business hours. Online registration will also be through the Y, but we will have a link to it on our website. This change is for ages 7-15, T-ball will also sign up at the Y but will be completely separate from the Motley program. The league will continue to play under Motley Dixie Youth rules and standards, but all players go into the same pool of players for even team selection.  Also new this season, each league including coach pitch will have evaluations in order to divide teams evenly. Games and practices for 7-10 year olds and 13-15 year olds will be at either Motley or the Altavista fields. All Ozone (11-12) games and practices will be at the Motley fields.  We are looking forward to this Motley Dixie Youth/Altavista YMCA baseball partnership this season!
 
Important Dates for the 2019 season:

March 1 Registration ends
March 7 Coaches meetings
March 9 Evaluation day
March 10 Parent meetings
