To Our CDBL Community,

I reach out to you again to provide an update on our organization, and specifically our 2020 Return-To-Play plan. Your CDBL board has worked tirelessly to stay up to date on all local and state mandates and what that might mean for a safe and healthy 2020 season.

With that we are pleased to announce the following:

• As Illinois moves into Phase (3) of the governors (5) phase Restore Illinois plan our travel teams will begin socially distanced practices in appropriate sizes groups on Monday June 1st.
• We will keep registration open until June 10th to allow those displaced by the closing of neighboring organization the opportunity register.
• Official start of the 2020 in-house season will begin June 26th.

What we want to make very clear is our unwavering commitment to providing our District 301 and CDBL friends and families a place to play baseball in 2020 if you so choose. We also want to make it very clear that we know this choice is yours and your alone to make. We understand there will be many that want to play, and many that do not.

In that regard we offer the following:

• Option #1 - Send an email to cdblboard@gmail.com by June 10^th asking for a refund for your 2020 season. You will be granted a full refund minus a $25 processing fee. (In-House Only)
• Option #2 - Send an email to cdblboard@gmail.com by June 10^th asking that your 2020 funds be rolled over to the 2021 season. You will be granted a full rollover of your registration to 2021. (In-House Only)
• Option #3 - Do nothing by June 10^th and your registration fees will automatically be rolled over to the 2021 season.YOU WILL NOT PLAY IN 2020. (In-House Only)
• Option #4 - Read and sign the 2020 CDBL Return-To-Play Waiver Acknowledgment and you will automatically stay registered for 2020, and will play as planned. (All Players, All Levels)

It is critical that if you elect to stay registered for the 2020 season whether you are in-house, Sunday, or Full Travel you must read and acknowledge the 2020 CDBL Return-To-Play Waiver.
