Short Hops: Get familiar with PSO Return To Play protocols

Short Hops is a weekly look at news and information that is of interest to the Canadian baseball community from the pros to the local sandlots!

We’ve got provincial RTP protocols all in one spot – Return To Play protocols, training with restrictions, modified game play are terms that we’ve all become familiar with over the past year. With baseball season inching closer our provincial (PSO) partners have been busy working with their respective governments to design Return To Play protocols so that members can enjoy a baseball experience in a safe manner this season. With the ever-changing environment surrounding Covid-19 it is important that the baseball community familiarizes itself with protocols put in place by their provincial organization through visiting websites and keeping an eye for social media posts. Baseball Canada is also providing access to the RTP protocols by province via baseball.ca. They can be found here.
