Celebrating 50 Years of Softball!!

Covid 19 Update

We have fielded a few recent questions from our St. Thomas Optimist Softball community and felt the time was right to release a statement regarding the upcoming season and the COVID 19 pandemic.  Thank you for your patience as we are all trying to work through this together.

Due to this unfortunate situation we are all dealing with on a daily basis, circumstances with the COVID 19 pandemic, St. Thomas Optimist Softball is unable to provide a definitive season start date to the potential upcoming 2020 softball season.

In particular, due to the current local restrictions and closures of many operations, in accordance with Public Health's recommendations to encourage social distancing and other physical distancing measures, along with government restrictions, we have no choice but to delay the start of the season at this time. Anything beyond that also remains undetermined.

We are currently working on different methods to obtain relevant information and will be taking our cues from Public Health, and government officials in an effort to have an informed decision on how, and if, we may be able to proceed, should restrictions be lifted.  Even though we do not have a specific start date, we are working on getting everything in place, so we are ready to go, if or when, we are able to, as directed by the government officials and Public Health organization.

Our main focus remains for the safety of our kids, Coaches, Umpires, parents & guardians.  We need to be as certain as possible, before we start a season, and carry it out. As much as everyone involved is so looking forward to those nights and weekends out at the ball diamonds, we have to be certain it is safe to do so before we commence.   

Please forward any questions related to this, or otherwise, to your Executive.

Thank you…
