Dear WYBSL Families,

We are hoping everyone is staying healthy and safe during these unprecedented times.  We had hoped we would be able to take the field for the spring 2020 recreational season, but taking into account the Governor’s announcement of no return to school for the rest of this year as well as an extension of the stay at home order we feel that cancelling the spring 2020 season is in the best interest of the players, families and community.  This includes all spring recreational softball and baseball programs run by the Westford Youth Baseball and Softball League (WYBSL).  We know this is disappointing, and the decision is not an easy one to make.  The WYBSL Board of Directors feels that taking into account the health and safety of our community and given the shortened spring season we can not effectively provide an experience that would help players grow their love of baseball and softball.

The status of the Ripken Tournament Trail, Jr. Ghosts, and Lady Ghosts seasons are still pending as they are partial summer programs so there will be a separate communication regarding those seasons as soon as any decisions can be made.    

WYBSL will look for further direction from the state, the town, and Babe Ruth League / USA Softball about when we can get back onto the field, but we intend to offer late spring and summer programming for all age groups in lieu of the spring season being canceled.  In addition, we will explore other options such as camps and clinics.  Please be on the lookout for further updates in the coming weeks as we know more!

We thank you for your support and understanding in this challenging situation.   The WYBSL Board and all of our coaches and volunteers can’t wait to be back on the fields as soon as we can!  If you have any questions please contact us at wybslregistrar@gmail.com.

WYBSL Board of Directors
