Good morning CABL baseball family!

In response to the recent COVID-19 concerns, the Charlotte Adult Baseball League has decided to SUSPEND baseball operations as well as any organized get-togethers, effective immediately. As of now, the suspension will be in effect through and including May 15th, 2020, but we will reassess to determine if an additional extension is warranted. Please understand player safety is absolutely our top priority and that we are dependent on other organizations (Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, Cabarrus County School District, Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation, etc.); whom decisions and property we will respect.

Masters Division

·      All Practices and Games are cancelled.

a.     Opening Day is now shifted to April 19th, 2020

Premier Division

·      Tryouts scheduled for 3/28/2020 have been postponed indefinitely and will be rescheduled for the earliest time possible.

·      Anticipated start date will most likely be pushed back from April 18th to either the following weekend or first weekend in May.

Veterans Division

·      Tryouts scheduled for 3/21/2020 & 3/28/2020 have been postponed indefinitely and will be rescheduled for the earliest time possible.

·      Anticipated start date may get pushed back, but a decision has not been made yet. The current start date is set for a day outside of our suspension window, but unexpected delays from fields may still occur. We will keep you posted.

Classic Division

·      With this news, the classic division will not schedule managers meetings, practices, scrimmages, tryouts or otherwise within our effective suspension period.

CABL Organized Events

·      Vance Workday scheduled for 3/15/2020 is cancelled.

a.     We will reschedule for when CMS allows the community to enter the facilities.

b.     We will need a good bit of volunteers, so please keep us in mind for when we reschedule. These efforts help satisfy our responsibilities to the community and part of our vision and direction for our 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

·      CABL Board of Directors Meeting scheduled for 3/18/2020 has been moved to a virtual meeting.

a.     If trustees/members need something added to our agenda, please send that information to Matthew Moose, CABL Secretary via email to secretary@cabl-usa.org. Please feel free to engage in conversation without league president via email or phone at any time. Email: president@cabl-usa.org

As your league representatives, we are completely committed to your safety and well-being. Thank you for your understanding and for being the best part of the Charlotte Adult Baseball League.

In Baseball,

Anthony Gardzielik

President – Charlotte Adult Baseball League
