Dear North Torrance Little League Families,

Earlier this week, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health issued a new Protocol for Organized Youth Sports.  Included in these orders is a COVID testing requirement.  Routine testing is required for all athletes and staff prior to competition, beginning September 1st.  The minimum testing cadence is once per week and testing must be performed within 48 hours of any inter-team competition.  Those test results must be available before the competition begins.

NTLL is in the process of talking to local officials about how to comply with these protocols.  We anticipate many questions and will try to answer them as we receive updates from local officials.  We will also provide more information over the coming days on our plans to move forward with our Fall Baseball season.

Finally, we invite everyone to join us in sharing with State, County, and City officials the extent to which this Order imposes extreme financial barriers to municipal and community-based youth sports programs, severely restricting the growth and development these programs provide to the youth throughout our communities.

Sincerely,
 

North Torrance Little League Executive Board
