SPRING SEASON (IN-PERSON PLAY)
Please note: Activities/Programming were suspended in spring 2020 and again in spring 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions in Manitoba. We plan to resume activities in Fall 2021 in a modified way but please know that, due to the ever changing Public Health Guidelines/Orders, we may need to make modifications or even suspend the program on very short notice. We will keep our families updated as soon as information is available.

FEES
For the 2021 season, all players will be required to provide a $25.00 registration fee. Registration fees should be paid by the Season Opener Event (First week in May - dates TBD) and can be paid via E-Transfer, Cheque, Cash or Credit Card (additional fee applies).
In the past, all players provided a $50.00 refundable Volunteer/Fundraising Bond in lieu of registration fees (or a $50.00 opt out fee) along with a $50 Jersey deposit. However, in 2021, we feel that the Volunteer and Fundraising Bond program and distribution of returnable Jerseys is not feasible. We hope that you understand and that you will join us in keeping Challenger Baseball affordable for all families by continuing to participate in Fundraising Opportunities!
WHAT DO FEES INCLUDE?
Players will be given a numbered Jersey, a hat, a mask and we are working to put together a kit that would make playing on the field and at home feasible and safe. Fees also cover administrative costs such as insurance, affiliation fees, field fees, etc.
DAYS/TIMES/LOCATIONS
IN-PERSON PLAY: Please see the "Divisions" tab for more information about your specific division. Sessions will, for the most part, be starting the week of May 1, each year and be held on Saturday mornings until the last week in June (weather dependent).
VIRTUAL CHALLENGER: As an additional and optional activity, all players are invited to participate in VIRTUAL CHALLENGER. This innovative program will take posted live on Wednesdays and be available to participate at the player's leisure and pace.
Please note: part of our RTP plan is that IF Public Health restricts "in-person recreation", all divisions in Manitoba will transition to Virtual Challenger and Coaches will be encouraged to include virtual activities in lieu of in-person play on the same day as normal.
BUDDIES
For the 2021 season, in order to reduce the size of each cohort (team), Buddies will not be arranged as we normally do. We are asking families to provide a Buddy from their family's "bubble". Buddies are responsible for keeping the player engaged and safe, generally assisting the player with all aspects of participation. Buddies must be designated and we will be sending a registration form to each buddy to ensure that we have proper information for contact tracing & also that they sign our participation waiver.
WHO DO I CONTACT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS
Please remember, this year is like any other and we are working extremely hard in the background to make sure all players are able to come back to Challenger Baseball safely. Please have patience as we navigate these waters. Our website will be updated as information comes available. Further to that, questions should be directed towards your division coordinator or the Provincial Coordinator.
