ULLL's "Return to Play" Plan and COVID-19 Related Information
ULLL's "Return to Play" Plan - Updated: Spring 2021
Upper Loudoun Little League (established in 1961) has strived for nearly 60 years to provide children ages 4 to 12 yrs old living in western Loudoun County the opportunity to learn and play baseball in a safe environment – with a focus on good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority.
Due to the extraordinary situation resulting from the coronavirus (known as COVID-19), Upper Loudoun Little League has worked to develop and implement a “return to play” plan for the Summer 2020, Fall 2020, and Spring 2021 seasons. This plan is based on both the guidance and mandatory guidelines provided by Little League International, Commonwealth of Virginia and Loudoun County guidance as to how events (such as practices and games) must be conducted due to the impacts of COVID-19 on our community.
We ask that you review the information on this page and the latest version of the ULLL’s Return to Play plan -- which includes information on the Spring 2021 season and the current return to play guidelines for both practices and games.
That said, as you have questions throughout the season about the ULLL’s COVID related policies and plans, please reach out to the ULLL Safety Officer (safety@ulll.org) and we will work to answer your questions.
Additionally, if you, your player or someone that has participated in a ULLL-related event has to report a COVID exposure or positive test, please reach out to the ULLL’s Safety Officer (safety@ulll.org) directly. Doing so will assist the ULLL in responding to any COVID-related concerns expeditiously.
