IMPORTANT SPRING SEASON UPDATE!
Dear RLL Community,
The world is a different place now than it was just a week ago. While things change on a daily, almost hourly basis, we feel it is important to communicate what we know about the upcoming spring Little League season.
Little League International has recommended that all leagues implement a temporary suspension of all league activities until no earlier than May 11th. Ridgefield Little League is following that direction. No organized activities will take place until then at the earliest. RLL is in contact with the other District 1 Little Leagues and is monitoring government recommendations on activities as well. We remain hopeful to play baseball this spring even if the start of the season is pushed back several weeks. We will communicate information about team assignments, practices, and the spring season as soon we can. More information on Little League International COVID-19 FAQs can be found here: https://www.littleleague.org/player-safety/coronavirus-update/faqs/
Ridgefield Travel Baseball (RTB) will also follow Ridgefield Little League’s (RLL) direction of suspending organized activities until May 11th. Matt Smith, Director of RTB, is in contact with their league and tournament officials, as well as All Star Village (Cooperstown). That situation is fluid and Matt will communicate directly with players and families as more information becomes available. For the RTB 12s, included here is a link to All Star Village’s statement on their summer tournaments: allstarvillage-coronavirusupdate.png
In the near future, we will share some resources for how to keep our players active with baseballs skills that they can do at home. Exercise is a great way to reduce stress and stay healthy, and we encourage everyone to keep active.
We also want you to know that we are here to help. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at

We hope everyone remains safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.
Sincerely,
Ridgefield Little League and the Board of Directors
